It's not humid or as hot today. Here's some that have opened today, along with a couple that opened late yesterday.

Castle Pinkney

Chance Encounter.

Had to get in a Flutterbye duo. such a beautiful color.

Joan Senior

Karen's Curls started with a bang today, about 6 flowers.

small Noid. I only have a couple of small ones, I like large, but this one is nice enough to keep.

Orange Velvet is early this year. Could be the new location.

Paige's Pinata didn't bloom the past 2 years. A very nasty weed grew up through it and nearly chocked it out. I had to redo it 2x go finally get rid of the weed. Only a couple of plants left, only one large enough to have a scape and only a few buds.

Pink Lantis

Pony

That's the limit, more in comments.

Such nice group shots! My favorite today is Castle Pinkney, I like the midrib on the rose colored bloom.

I love the group shots! What is the red and white on the bottom left of the last photo, Brad? I particularly like Castle Pinkney, Flutterbye and Chance Encounter. Pony is an unusual one too.

Kay, the red & white one is actually Isolde. It is actually a dark purple.

Great garden shot. So many colors. Nice group of photos. Flutterbye is a nice lavender.

Castle Pinckney is gorgeous! Wish my Flutterbye looked like yours -- it has always bloomed washed-out and insipid. NOT what I have hoped for... Does soil pH cause coloration problems? Same trouble with my Indian Giver -- not really purple enough, as I see others' can be (even allowing for photo color/computer differences)...

You got me at Castle Pinckney. Beautiful. My next favorite is Paige's Pinata. Such a shame about the weed problem. Hopefully it will recover and grow great again. I can't remember who posted the picture of it but I remember liking it a lot. Maybe it was one of your pictures from a couple of years ago. Don't the petals have a bit of seersuckering?..........Maryl

Roxanna, yes soil pH does make a difference. If you ever see any of Celeste's [she is in north NH so she is still waiting] hers are incredible. Mine have improved a lot, and I've been using pine needle mulch for a couple of years which has probably made it more acidic.

Maryl, yes Paige's Pinata does have some seersuckering.

I do need to move Castle Pinckney as it has not been as tall as it should and gets hidden behind a couple of tall ones.

Really nice Brad. The garden clumps are so colorful. All are very nice. I vote for CP as well but Flutterbye looks good too.

I too am seeing that some later ones are blooming earlier. I think Kate reported that in her posts. Blooms are almost two weeks ahead of normal, if there is such a thing anymore. Paige's Pinata was always weak here.
