Monday & Tuesday Blooms

Catching up again. It is hot and humid here and feels like 100 F. Not my favorite weather as a short walk about the gardens and I'm sweating. Suppose to break by the weekend and have lots of rain. Hope so.
Some new and others are repeats. Not much time to do additional photos since the humidity gets unbearable with the sun beating down.

GENTLE ON MY MIND - new this spring from Korth.

DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU - doubles on every opening

WESTBOURNE MAMA KIRBY'S NINE BRATS - lots of fans and scapes but I dislike the color

    Wow! You have so many really pretty ones today. Cape Roman Harbor and Light of the world are beautiful clumps. Mean Green is outstanding. Magic of Oz and Subspace Frequency are very pretty a bit cooler colors. All of them are very pretty, but, predictably, Maui Sunrise is my pick. I love the reds and the brights.

    Soma my nice ones and great pictures. They all look so good it's hard to pick, but I think I'll go with Mean Green and Gentle on My Mind.

    I simply must get Light of the World. It is such a super performer for you and Kay. Others that caught my eye were Maui Sunrise, Spring Mystique and Eloquently Edged. I love the name and the bloom on Double Dog Dare You!

    Terrific group, Julia. The clump shots are amazing. Gentle on My Mind is a wonderful color, but I think I'm most taken with Back to Fuchsia. Is that one new for you? I'm not familiar with it.

    Chris: BACK TO FUSCHIA I won on one of the Regions (can't remember which region)auction on the LA last year and was sent by the hybridizer Pat Cochenour last year. Got through our cold winter just fine. Just started blooming here.

    Debra: LIGHT OF THE WORLD always puts on a show. I know there is another one I've heard good things about is LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE also by Emmerich which does good too. I may end up dividing LIGHT OF THE WORLD this year. If I do, do you want some fans of it? Let me know via email.

    Wow, so many beauties. I really like the fuchsia one (I googled it and it looks like full name is Back to the Fuchsia, kind of like the movie, I guess?), Maui Sunrise, Cape Romain Harbor, Mean Green and Light of the World. I have both Light of the World and Little Light of Mine and although they are both great plants, I much prefer Light of the World - the color is nicer imo, especially noticeable at the end of a long hot day in full sun.

    Spring Mystique is my favorite (seems very special with that eyezone), along with Magic of Oz. Also like the flatness of Subspace Frequently. Light of the World attracts attention here, but doesn't seem that special to me.

    Sorry about all the heat and humidity I know it can be brutal dealing with it. Living in FL I have to deal with it for a least six months out of the year. You have some really great looking blooms, Cape Romain Harbor and Magic Of Oz get my vote for favorites.

    Julia, I'm really leaning toward the purples/lavenders today. I love BACK TO FUSCHIA, SPRING MYSTIQUE and RAINBOWS GLORY. They are stunningly gorgeous!

    So many beauties, I won't be able to pick a favorite or even two :)
    Love the color of Gentle On My Mind. Love the name of the 2nd, Double Dog :) And I like the color of Nine Brats (too long of a name :)) Back to the Fuschia is very pretty, and Rainbows Glory too, so colorful.
    Repeats are all great! I love seeing repeats. Maui Sunrise is a beautiful color and I like how it arranged flowers for a picture :) Wow, lots of blooms on Light of the World!

    Love your pictures, so hard to choose favorites, but here goes: Spring Mystique, Back To The Fuschia, Maui Sunrise, Magic Of Oz, Mean Green, Subspace Frequency, and your clumps are wonderful. Also like the double, Double Dog Dare You, I looked up that one,it has good stats. Avedon

    Nice pictures! Boy, I get you about WMKNB...I have some like that, i.e., great plants but the flower...bleh.

    Magic of Oz is such a star! Love that plant! And, you have Mean Green!! So hard to find, lucky you.

    Today, (which I guess was yesterday because I am behind...) I'm liking that Spring Mystique. Yes!

    Very enjoyable photos.
