Some new blooms in the racks.

8 years ago

I guess these plants get to know one another and decide amongst themselves when they are going to bloom. A while back I bought about a dozen starter plugs from three or four different vendors. After nearly 4 months, several have now decided its time to show and tell. I have never seen these plants in bloom other than on the internet.

I don't want to bore anybody w pictures of plants we've all seen dozens of times but maybe I have a couple that you've only seen a half dozen times! Heres a few of the "pinks" that are blooming now!

Top to bottom: Carolinas Elegant Affair, Cajuns Coujon, Robs Itchy Britches and Cajun Fair Maiden.

Glad you enjoyed the pics. I enjoy them every day but rarely take the time to admire each one individually.

Buying AV's based on pictures on the internet is risky. For every Cajuns Coujon I get, I usually end up with two of "Big Bertha Butt Biters".

All AV's are nice, just some are a LOT better than others!

I love the leaves on Carolina's Elegant Affair. The flowers are sweet, too, but that foliage gives much to enjoy even out of bloom. And Rob's Itchy Britches will surely be on my "watch for" list now. They're all nice - thanks for posting (and never worry about boring us with varieties we've seen before. It never gets old!)

CC is my favorite of the lot you have there. Really like the dark picotee .... seems to set off the pink of the rest of the flower.
