Blooms this week!

9 years ago

First is Here Lies Butch, what a horrible name. I like the bloom, a single fan added last season, first blooms this week. It has a fat edge but has opened well.

Crystalline Entity was added two season ago after seeing it here. I like it because the blooms are a true light pink.

Soft Hearted Mother was added last spring, I was happy to see a triplet blooms this week. I like the soft colors and multicolored edge.

Banshee Whisper was a bonus I received last season, first bloom this week. I probably wouldn't have ordered it but I really like it, it's a nice pink

Another bonus plant from last season with its first bloom, Lovely Miss Laucius. The first scape is tall, nice color.

Forbidden Desires had some nice blooms this week.

Hearts Abound with first blooms here.

A great bloom on Wanda Lou Lovely.

The only bloom on Claudine's Charm this week, lots more to come.

A nice clump of Hemstitched with Brocaded Gown.

Thats all for now, more next week.

LML does extremely well for me. I think you will like it a lot. Here Lies Butch is a terrible name for such a pretty flower. Linda introduced only around 25 cultivars, two with butch in the name. Maybe she got tired of cracked eggs. (Butch and Barbara's Cracked Eggs (Agin, 2009)).

Your season does seem to be better with better openings for you. These are all lovely!! I have Here Lies Butch and it has not multiplied very well for me. Blooms are always perfect. I will be interested to see how it performs for you. Your photo is very good of it. Hemstitched clump shot is outstanding.

Very pretty group of blooms! That is a lovely photo of Here Lies Butch. I also really like the looks of Soft Hearted Mother and Lovely Miss Laucius. Claudine's Charm looks good!

My favorite is Lovely Miss Laucius. It has such great color, and the light sepal markings really make it pop. The shot of Hemstitched with Brocaded Gown is very nice too. I always enjoy photos of Claudine's Charm, and Soft Hearted Mother is posing nicely in that group shot.

Wow! Lovely Miss Laucius, Wanda Lou Lovely and Claudine's Charm are awesome. I know I've seen and admired LML somewhere before, I assume on this forum in years past (Kay or Rita maybe?). Claudine's Charm had it's FFO here yesterday, one of my very favorites... was not a good bloom, but thankfully there are more to come.
