Just put these two in.

Bali Watercolor, not looking too good

Mandarin Firecracker - got this from Charmaine Rich last week. Planted Soft Summer Nights yesterday, not fully opened
Notify Ground Crew is not at it's full height, but still very tall. (My husband wanted this one, he flies)
Garnet Prism - love this, but still canoeingDoc Webster - I can tell I'm going to love this one
I am up to about 86 hybrids - about 26 more yet to have their FFOs

Thanks again to all you experts - this is only feeding my addiction. I am crazy. I have an Excel database as well as a database with photos. I keep a log of FFO and performance, also with photos. I think I am going to limit myself to 100, LOL

The's are very nice! Colorful bunch. You will have to update us on that "limited" number next year!! I think I remember Celeste has Pinhill Claret Symphony so perhaps she can give you input on this one. I love Flying Trapeze coloration.

Kate

Kate, yes, I promise to update you on my "100". The reason I bought Pinhill Claret Symphony was based on a photo of Celeste's. I think part of the problem was that I planted it by my deck last year and the "small" shade tree grew almost 2 feet and shaded it. I moved it about 2 weeks ago (It already had a scape). I am not giving up on it. Celeste's was stunning. This is her photo

Lots of beauties! It sure is fun seeing the first blooms, isn't it? :) Especially when they are new to your garden. It's nice to have something new to look forward to every year... I can't imagine a season where I wouldn't have at least one new cultivar to appreciate for the first time in my garden. Spider Miracle is stunning, I always like it when I see pics of it.

Beautiful! I think your Bali Watercolor looks good. I do love Flying trapeze and Caroline No. Doc Webster is a lovely yellow.

Nice selection of photos. I never really understood why some canoe and others don't and then after several blooms, it seems to stop doing it.

Alabama Jubilee always gets my attention as I really like deep oranges. Caroline No also got a look-see. Flying Trapeze, Garnet Prism and Doc Webster also get thumbs up. You have a really nice start on a good collection. With divisions and duplicates, good luck keeping it under 100..........Maryl

Great pictures. The first 5 are my favorites! I have Spider Miracle and it only does so-so for me. Probably likes your cooler climate.

I enjoyed seeing your photos! My favorites are Spider Miracle and Swallowtail Kite.

Nice photos and choices! I usually go for the pinks and purples but Civility caught my eye today, love the white with the yellow edge. I have Notify Ground Crew but I haven't been vey nice to it I've had it for one full season and already moved it. It did get tall but not up to standards yet.

Sherry

Sherry, Civility in person is really beautiful. It is hybridized by Craig Barnes. His farm is only 30 minutes from me. He has done some really nice ones. Actual Ice bloomed and it is really nice

Soft Summer Night is a nice one. Give Women Seeking Men plenty of room; it is amazonian in its reach. Swallowtail Kite is a good grower.

Thanks for the hints Mantis!

Beautiful collection of blooms! Flying Trapeze really stands out and is going on my wish list. I also received Hanalei Bay as a bonus plant. A couple of my blooms haven't looked so great but that's a lovely photo you've taken. Alabama Jubilee, Caroline No, and Actual Ice are also favorites.
