because of you and Palace Garden Beauty are my favorites today, but all of them are beauties.

A very colorful and cheerful group; hard to pick a favorite.

Jolly Lassie is a pretty one. Not sure I've ever seen it before. Is the eye really that dark red in person? I like Salty Skipper too but he's hard one to find. When I look back at them they are all nice. I'll take one of each. Ha

Thanks, Jean and Mantis. Ikayd, the bad news is that Jolly Lassie is another of Bud Bennet's wonderful introductions along with Salty Skipper, but yes, it does have the lovely red throat, even better, the sun doesn't bother it. It is a smaller bloom though. A nice little plant for the front of a bed.

oh my land!!! wow beautiful pics. I like the first one with the bitone effect, but the OH MY LAND flower is the blue in the water drops... very cool. I'm gonna have to research that one. I like the honey creeper too. I remember wanting that one, maybe I should check prices on some of his blue ones. ha. thanks for the photos. lovely and you end with that red HOT one after all the cool blues. ha.

Another gorgeous group, Kay, and on rebloom, too. How great is that? I declare all of them favorites but like Dean, I do go for the blue in Water Drops. By the way, my husband just saw your picture of Gus, and he thought it was our cat Zeke. They could almost be twins. Avedon

I don't think the first one is Because of You.

Quite right , as always, Mantis. It is I Believe in You. (I have to go to the original chart to find it).

More really nice blooms, I just can't decide which I like best. I think I'm going for the blue eyes of Water Drops & Purple Honey Creeper.

Love them all but, Fear Not and Salty Skipper are my faves. You take very nice pictures!

Thanks, Nancy and growgirl.
