The second cycle of blooms is never as heavy or as simultaneous as the first cycle, but I'm always eager to see them after their post-first cycle rest. They kind of straggle in to the party the second time around, however. Here are a few of the latest.

Double Delight (ht)--always a double pleasure.

Me too, me too--shouts out Pretty Jessica (Austin). Look at those buds!

Lady of Shalott--This lovely Austin continues to impress me in all ways.

An "artsy" shot of Mrs. John Laing (hp)--wasn't planned, but I thought the effect was quite interesting.

Eden Climber--for those of you wondering about how she re-blooms, here is Eden in the second bloom cycle. Not blooming as heavily as in the first cycle, but still lovely.

Double Knock Out, Cherry Parfait (in background), and white Regale lilies--while Knock Outs are not my favorites, they are a reliable blotch of bright color that contrasts nicely with the newly opened lilies. I like Double Knock Out when she work WITH the other plants rather than trying to steal the spotlight just on herself.

Here's my cute little welcoming garden dwarf--the sign he's leaning on say "welcome." Gorgeous blue lobelia in the pot at his feet.

Hope you enjoyed the tour of some of my second-cycle bloomers.
