Honey Dijon . . . is just beginning a flush. Wish it bloomed all the time. Flushes are huge though.

Black Magic It gets canker in spring and I massacre it during pruning, but it grows like crazy in the heat and is loaded with blooms now. Always has blooms though. Great in heat.

Joshua Bradley is a scrawny plant and doesn't bloom often. Still . . . .

Just Joey with Ebb Tide Neither one a good photo but nice colors together. Both are great bloomers, in large flushes.

Cinco de Mayo Can be spectacular like now. It grows low and wide. Not a spec of disease on any leaf! Perfection.

Chihuly Before and after. Doesn't get ugly as it ages--will be my role model if lucky.

Vavoom In a pot, got really big. Doesn't last in heat which seems to be what we have most of here. Not a favorite, colorwise, either. Cheesy gold.

Midnight Blue In too shady a spot. I think it would be a good performer in filtered sun or in cooler summers. Color is true on my monitor.

Our 112 degrees today probably fried whatever was open. Painfully hot.

Lol, Iris Gal. You are so funny! Sorry it's so painfully hot there.

Have a great day, guys! :)

I cannot even comprehend 112 degrees. Here, we start keeling over when it hits 90, because our humidity is always so high.
