We are picking up the pace now. There are so many new ones blooming daily that it's hard to get pictures of them all.

Viva Pinata is a bouquet today.

Bonibrae Happy Face has not impressed us.

The Bride of Dracula has impressed us. It was planted just last summer. It's orange with teeth--what's not to like?

Catching Fire is not yet well established.

I am surprised by how tall Cosmic Sensation is in our garden.

Downtown Thad Brown was planted last summer also.

Heavenly Purple Twister was a gift plant from the AHS region 2 conference in Cincinnati 2014.

Off to See the Wizard is one of the few diploids we grow. It was a bonus plant a couple of years back.

My Little Tea Set is one of the small flowered ones. I like its gold edge.

Raspberry Flambe is tall but sometimes it has trouble standing up.

More to come . . .

Remembered Kisses is a nice flower, but the substance could be better.

Sir Francis Drake had it ffo today after being planted last spring. I hope it's not tender, but I am afraid it will be. Many offspring of Tet. Peppermint Delight are.

Strawberry Fields Forever is a small flower on a weak plant, but I like it because it is a true pink.

Sweet Cerise was planted last spring and these are first flowers ever.

I said I was disappointed in Wolverine so today it gives me two lovely flowers. I still like Love All Serve All better.

Seedling Queen of the Garden is something a little different today. This is Lavender Oasis X Tet. Rose F. Kennedy. Unfortunately, the scape on this one is short. I hope that improves because the flower is quite large.

My internet is running really slow today. I will try to post the seedling pictures later today.

I had just one Viva Pinata today, but it looked good--much better than last year. Yours is obviously well established. Sir Francis Drake grows okay here, but has poor bud count.

They are really beginning to pop for you, aren't they? I like your clump shots but really like Viva Pinata. Seeing pictures on here has made me wonder if I want it. Notice I did not say "need it"!! Keep posting!!!

Viva Pinata makes a stunning clump. Wish I hadn't lost it growing in a pot.

Another vote for Viva Piñata! It really catches my eye. I also like today's seedling queen.

Sweet Cerise caught my eye today! I agree with everyone else, great clump of Chicago Piñata. I like your seedling and hope the height increases for you, it could be a great one.

My fondness for yellow is showing I know, but all three of your yellows are my favorites today. Strawberry Fields Forever is a nice pink one too..........Maryl

So many I like, but I think the ones that stand out for me are Viva Pinata (it does have the advantage of a clump photo though) and Sir Francis drake. Hope your seedling gets taller with maturity, that is really a pretty flower.
