Some beauties you have there! And the doggy too! :)
I know what you're saying with June gloom, hate it too!

first of my Grove Farm....roxanne

Wave Rage after the morning dew...roxanne

OMG - the first glimpse of the doggie pic my brain was like, "black bear?!" He's so cute he looks like a bear standing there haha! Does he try to eat them or is he just a big clutz like my dogs?!

Lovely blooms Nicole and I like the J105 even with the low temps, it's very pretty! I was afraid my plumies were never going to get leaves this season!

then there is My Valentine starting to open...roxanne

and Samoan Fluff...roxanne

you can never have enough Celadine...roxanne

and more Celadine after the misty fog...roxanne

Thank you everyone! It looks like I may have a bloom on the JL Supernova by the weekend. Yay!

Emily-Valentino "the Bear" doesn't have good intentions(can you believe he's only 10 months). He wants to take them. Already happened to a few that were waiting to be potted up. I looked up to see him running around the yard with my Butterfly Gold cutting!! Good thing he knows the drop command. The cutting survived.

I'm trying not to add to my collection but its so hard to resist. JJ Fuji Mist called my name. It arrived yesterday and has an inflo!! Yes! Yes! For those who haven't seen it here is the pic from JJ's website.

Nicole, it doesn't seem to be the heat that causes the twist. Apparently they twist when they feel like it. I rooted one from Matt last fall, grew it under lights all winter. It bloomed indoors and as you can see, it twisted just fine. I have put it outside now and the new blooms look exactly like yours do, with no twist.

Del...

Has your inflo started branching out? I find that to be so beautiful. So even without the twist and the fact that its pink(not my fav color) it has redeemed itself. It appears to be a really vigorous grower. It looks like I'll get 4 new branches this year! What does yours smell like. I'm trying to do a check on my smeller...I think it's off...LOL

Beautiful, Nicole! Lurv the J105, even without splash!

Rox, you got your photos posted at last! Yay!

My Dazzler is neither twisting nor making long petals. In fact it's kinda staying tulip-shaped. Hm. Definitely not a heat issue; it's hot and humid as you can imagine. Maybe it needs some maturity or less heat? 'Course it could also be a mislabel though most of the PSA sellers are very accurate.

Thanks for the pics, everyone! Always a great time of year to check in here.

Thanks Jandey...I have learned a lot from you....roxanne

Wow! I really like the color on your Grove Farm! They all look so good! :D

Yes Nicole, my inflo has started branching. It pretty much has to since it needs room to keep the flowers from opening one on top of another, which mine did when the first blooms started. As far as smell, I'm not good at describing them but it seems to have a perfumey/fruity scent. Pretty strong also.

They are definitely pretty vigorous. I potted mine up last August and it grew under lights for about 8 months in this little water bottle.
