Good looking flowers mandolls. Keep 'em coming. Steve in Stevens County.

Pinelands Princess is awesome!

Thanks for posting. Please keep them coming! I'm curious to see Pineland's Princess once it opens up a bit more. That's a great color combination.
I've finally got a couple that are opening up. Can't wait!

Those are fantastic photos of your beautiful flowers mandolls........!

Please tell me what camera you have?

Thanks all for the feed back. I have been checking this forum daily for the past month or so and not finding many people posting pics, so I thought I would share now that I have a few blooms.

Pinelands Princess is a beauty on the stem, but it doesn't last well as a cut flower. All of those fine delicate petals start drooping fast.

The camera is really nothing fancy. Its an Olympus Camedia from about 8 years ago. C-740 ultra zoom. I just set it on close up, zoom in, and click the shutter.

Here is a pic of the Pinelands Princess fully open. Its difficult to capture the fullness of the bloom, it is almost like a pom the way it turns into a round ball. This bloom is just under 6" and all of the blooms are out facing which is nice for a tall plant (over 6ft)

Here is another of the Fire Magic almost fully open too - its my fave.

I have a few more that are just starting to open - I'll post again when they do

It's so good to see Pinelands Princess! My Pinelands Princess is maybe a week away! My lasciniates seem really slow to bloom.
