Friday's Flowers

9 years ago

It was a cool night last night so some flowers did not open well. Here is the pick of the litter for Friday.

Buddy's Betsy blooms early for us.

We have had Golden Tentacles for several years and it does well here for a southern. Today, however, it had the most beautiful bloom I have ever seen on it.

Love All Serve All is a bit narrow for my tastes.

Pumpkin Prince is an early, but short, one for us.

Purple Maze was planted last spring and this is the first flower we have seen on it.

I love the dark eye on Spacecoast Brazen Bandit.

Sunny Spot is a cute small-flowered one.

Small World Fire in the Hole has my kind of colors and edge.

Here is the seedling Queen of the Garden today. It is Belle of Ashwood X Bristling Fury. I like the gold edge and the different color.

It's definitely heating up here. We need rain desperately, but there is none in the forecast for several days.

Great seedling with unusual coloring, hope it does well for you. I really like Purple Maze, a nice complimentary color combo. Such a great edge on Golden Tentacles, I hope all of the blooms look like this one!

That is a scintillating seedling. Sepals have some of the weirdness of Bristling Fury (on a different plane), but it will be interesting to see future ones. How long have you grown Brazen Bandit? I had trouble with that one, but that was during severe winters. Purple Maze looks great.

Great color on your seedling.....I always like Purple Maze's delicate coloring. Usually our heat does a number on the pale pastels, but it sure is pretty in your garden. I like orange, so Buddy's Betsy is another good one for me..........Maryl
