A few blooms today

10 years ago

They're starting to bloom....!!

GAIL - This one actually opened a few days ago, but it got rained on. So this is the tail end of the bloom.

LOIS WILSON looking more of a dark cerise than her normal med peachy-pink, and she's leaning way over from the rain and hail on Monday. She's on a stem about 7ft up, bent over to 3ft.

These are the cheaters opening up after arriving from Ludwigs last week:

MYRTHE (MYTH)

NEW IMAGINE - or as Ludwigs call it... "JUST IMAGINE"... I'm gonna love this one!!

And a few other blooms... (non-rose)...

Camellias finishing out and turning brown from the rain...

Azalea

African daisy - I love the colors on this one. I've had it for a few yrs now. Had to dig it up in the septic re-do last yr, so it's in a pot for now..

and a nasturtium that I planted from seed last summer... went thru winter and bloomed now!! Crazy!

I am sooo ready for spring. It's still pretty darn cold tho. Supposedly the high today was 66°, but I don't believe it! I'm freezing tonite!! LOL

Beth, love the camellia's and the colour on that African Daisy is amazing!

NEW IMAGINE reminds me a lot of PURPLE TIGER - don't you have both? Would be great to see them side by side. PT isn't the most vigorous and does have it's issues - if it wasn't for the blooms, I think I would shovel it.

'Gail' looks awfully pretty. Congrats on your Ludwig order. 'New Imagine' looks like a winner!

Love your pale pink camellia with darker stripes. We've got the same African daisy. I wish it would have its great flush in the fall with the mums.

Really nice! I think I'll have my first bloom today but it's too cold to go out right now!

New Image is beautiful. I wish I have more room for a climber. I don't think it will happy in a 20"w x 17"h pot.

Thanks guys!

Irisgal, I just love that African daisy. It blooms a couple of times for me, but I don't think it does in the fall. That would be cool tho.

Bayareagirl, NEW IMAGINE is not a climber. It's a floribunda.

That's interesting Beth. When I did my research for my first Lugwigs' order, Just Imagine is listed under Panarosa category for both the US and SA Lugwigs' websites.

Do you think they list it wrong?

Hmmmm... I dunno? Maybe it grows that way in South Africa. HMF says it's a floribunda that gets 28" - 35." Guess only time will tell! I certainly hope it isn't a climber here. I don't need anymore climbers....
