| I checked out Lana, she's indeed Lovely! Took some photos between squalls and downpours today. They are not in their usual color but keep on trying to bloom. Mary's Jomanda about my favorite ball ever, in a faded less glorious pink
 Mango Sunset has been going strong since late July.
 Minnesota, looks a lot like April Dawn at this time of year.
 Long Island Lil is a faded orange version of itself but still pretty to me
 Karma Choc is much darker red than this: nearly black/red. That has been a wonderful flower this year.
 Ferncliff Illusion is on the chopping block. I think this is about the 5th bloom I've had on FOUR plants. Too late for me.
 Another all time fave: Painted Lady still doing her thing, though leaning a bit in recent wind
 Pride of Place is still proud but in a paler purple than the usual dark version.
 Here's Summer Morn ? September Morn? which has got much better color here in low light late months than high summer.
 without a flash
 Little 3" no-id that's still putting out blooms
 Hy Lobster is usually fire engine red, now a faded orangey yellow.
 Karma Sangria looks about the same all season. Holding up well to nasty weather too.
 Ken's Flame is less flamboyant than its usual red, still trooping along though.
