In spite of daytime temperatures approaching 95, I am still getting new blooms. I feel like the flowers are suffering a little in the heat as the blossoms aren't quite as perky as they were a month ago!

Here's my Pink Diamond. Pepto Bismol pink is the perfect color description that someone made a while back! The petals are very heavily "quilted", and the photo captures that detail.

Also, Rembrandt van Rijn decided to bloom this morning!

And...here comes Hercules, finally! Can't wait!

Have a nice weekend!

They're all lovely, Kristi! I especially like the Hercules bud photo! Thanks for sharing!

Kristi, I love Pink Diamond. Mine was spectacular. Pepto Bismol is RIGHT!

My PD has the same rippling and HUGE Flowers.

Looks more wrinkly than my old hand!

Another one I don't have... yet!

Pepto Bismol makes me vomit... I prefer to think of it as Bubble Gum Pink! If I have my choice of the two, I'm choosing the bubble gum... the flavor is a whole lot better!

I agree, Jodi, Pepto makes me feel sicker than I am!! LOL

I wish I had some others in bloom to propaagate with PD. It is by far one of the largest flowers, right up there with my Clown. Bubble Gum does evoke a better image. You have to get yourself one this fall!

It's on my wish list, I assure you! I'm not certain how much of my wish list I'll actually get to purchase, but I can always move things around the list to satisfy my wants! It's going to be hard to choose which of the pinks to buy... I've been impressed by so many... Candy Floss, Pink Star, Pink Diamond... how does one choose?!

Jodik,
I thought the same thing, I'm only wanting 1 pink
I have others want's !! So far Pink Diamond has been sold out at least where I have been searching.

I think more bulb varieties will be more readily available after the new harvest of this coming summer... early autumn should bring a fresh variety to all the sellers.

Yes, they always bring out some new bulbs to cater for the Xmas trade and hope that they will all become disposable so we buy more next October.

Pink Diamonds were dropped to $2.50 in the After-Christmas Clearance sale. Needless to say, I bought them all (12).
