Dorothy you must have the biggest happiest smile on your face.

congratulations.

While I see the periwinkles, I know I have a answer I owe you about the seed pods. Give them time....After they bloom a LOT...they will develop so many long seed pods, that you WILL SEE them. All you need to do is lift up the leaves at times. But if you start to early it is just a hassle. Now that I know how they grow and produce seed pods. Next year I will go back to only periwinkles again. This year I tried wax begonias and petunias that I just don't like. Because they can not take the heat like the periwinkles are.

Now see, I truly miss MIKE!! :-( But he shared so much and with so many of us...he will always always be remembered and my hope does not die easily. So I hope he will stop by one of these days again.

Dorothy enjoy your angels bloom

Thanks Lucy, I had never grown Periwinkles before but it sure will not be the last time.
Thank you so much for getting me started with them.

I love DD and it's my best blooming double. At least in most years. This year nothing's blooming : ( My DD's have even thrown several triple blooms.

Very pretty Dorothy. I'm still waiting for my DD to bloom. Just getting blooms on my NOL. It's my first double to bloom. Love the color.

Awe, it's pretty!
Susan

Very Cool!!! This is one that was sent to me this Spring so I am very excited to get a bloom...Your's is Beautiful!!!!

Kylie

That's a beauty!!!

Hi Dorothy- Beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us! kasha77

?????????????????????????????
Question about DD? In the 3rd pix you can see a little bruising of the bloom.
That was the first night it opened.
The 2nd night it didn't open. So the skirt didn't drop.
It's 2nd bud did the same!
It has more tiny buds forming. I am hoping for a better flowering.
Could it be the hot, to much sun or???
It's on my porch and is in full sun.
And the temps in the 90's.
Since its in a pot I can move it.
What do you think???
Dorothy

My experience and from what I read here and there...I believe you nailed it!!That is why I really like the cooler fall weather. That was when they opened a lot better for me.

Dorothy but all in all...yours did open pretty good thou!!!

Lucy

I dont know anything about DD yet..mine is just a cutting..but I cant wait for her to bloom. Congrats Dorothy!
I hope she starts blooming properly for you soon..but its better than no blooms!

The color on DayDreams is gorgeous, like a powdery pink. I notice as it's gotten hotter here my plants have stopped producing buds (except Cherub, I think she has some tiny ones) so I concur that the heat really does affect the brugs. I just moved one from the south side of the house to the north, still tons of sun, but not trapped in that hot courtyard.

My blooms on that one are all crunch on the end. I hope the flowers turn out all right. This will be the first bloom on this one as well.

Beautiful Dorothy! I love DD. It's my first brug with buds this season. I don't love the smell though. Maybe it will smell better this year than last.
