This is a new one to my garden Vanishing Mist, it has a little splotch here an there, but I like the flower.

A duo of Francois Verhart

Not the best flower of August Wedding I have ever seen, but the first of the season. With its own little ant. I seem to be having an abundance of ants these days

San Ignatio, I always like this one but it is not showing as pink in this photo as it is

All left are seedlings, and not much there worth showing really. Nothing unusual about this one, but it is pretty tall and looks like it may get some decent bud count

One from Casper's Shadow. I like Casper and it produces lots of seeds, but they almost all look just like Casper, but shorter. This one has a little more color.

Vanishing Mist is very pretty! My other top picks include Francois Verhart and your Casper’s Shadow seedling.

Love your Vanishing Mist. Had not heard of that one before , will definitely be trying to find that one. It is a beauty.

I like your Casper's Shadow seedling . very much . I grow Casper's Shadow here too ......and Your seedling's almost seems like a reverse Caspers Shadow.

Slowly but steadily you are getting more blooms. We've just had some cool nights that spoiled blooms. San Ignacio here always had low bud count.

Nancy, I have Vanishing Mist as well and I like that one. Mine has not bloomed yet but has buds. When it is unblotched, it is amazing, isn't it? And I also have San Ignacio, which is such a pretty clear pink. My bud count has always been pretty good on it. I think your photo of August Wedding looks good! Your seedlings are pretty good also! Your blooms have indeed begun.

Thank you everyone! I love Vanishing Mist, but Kate, you have me worried! I was hoping since this was a first bloom it would not really be prone to blotchiness since this bloom just had a little bit. Ah well, time will tell. For some reason, some plants that most say are bad about it don't do badly for me. Signet, I am glad someone else grows Casper's Shadow, I have not seen anyone else with it, and it does so well here. Mantis, I am surprised San Ignacio has a low bud count for you, it seems to bloom so well here. One reason I like it so much, and as Kate says, it is a nice pretty pink.
