Well I know from my own garden that Choral Fantasy does not want to open if it is not warm. So I am not surprised it wasn't all the way open early in the morning. Purple Mound looks really, really good. But Mae Graham is my favorite of the batch.

I'm picking Off Beat from this group. I've picked a couple of the others before so I'm giving someone else a turn.

It's off Beat for me too. Is it a large bloom? For some reason it is reminding me of Gift from Heaven, although the colors are all wrong, but I love Gift from Heaven :)

You have a lot of beauties today, Jean. I especially like Purple Mound, choral Fantasy, Marietta Surprise and China Pride. I think Marietta Surprise is my favorite. New to me.

I really like that purple color of PURPLE MOUND, too,KAY.
NANCY.OFF BEAT is about a 6 inch bloom.Very nice size.
VAL, Thank you for looking and commenting
RITA> thank you for looking and commenting. I really like PURPLE MOUND, its rather a small bloom, but pretty. Mae GRAHAM had better color this morning, then she usually does.
