Lots blooming today

We finally are beginning to get going here. We have had blooms but most have been incredibly slow. Maybe the dryness was what was holding them up. Now we have had rain and the flowers were nice today.

Artillery Fire was new to the garden last year.


Adopt Me is a cute mini double.



I like the dark color of Burning the Midnight Oil.

Cosmic Sensation does well here.


I'd better put the rest in the comments.

    The purples attract my attention today. My favorites are Burning the Midnight Oil and Hey Soul Sister (I like the song a lot too!)/

    Pat Garrity is not a strong grower, but we love the color.

    Small World Fire in the Hole is a riot of color today.

    Tet. Rose Kennedy is not a good grower, but what a flower!

    Seedling Princess is Pumpkin Prince X Gavin Petit. This was moved to the select bed last fall is is looking good this year.

    Seedling Princess is Lillian's Tears and Roses X Ruffled Nuggets.

    That's enough for today.

    The one that immediately caught my eye is Holy Sombrero. I had to look it up since I had not seen it before. You should post your picture on the database since there is only one photo and yours is much more attractive. (I like the form of yours better). Small World Fire in the Hole really demands attention! Cosmic Sensation is wonderful.

    That last seedling is a real beauty; I Like the color, and the ruffled edges...Hope that one makes the cut. Small World Fire In The Hole is really pretty and bright too. You had an entire group of pretty ones, Nancy.

    Celeste and I are on the same wavelength today, the same blooms were my favorites today! I really like your last seedling PLT X RRN, such a nice ruffled edge.

    What is the size on the Gavin Petit seedling? Looks very impressive, with strong color and double edge. Generally, I prefer a flatter form, but as pictured, it has real flair!

    Some great ones! Love Gram's Dream, I'm a King Bee and seedling Lillian's Tears and Roses X Ruffled Nuggets. One of the sets of seeds I got from you had Lillian's Tears as pod parent - was just noticing yesterday how well they were doing. Big thick leaves! I know LT&R is supposed to be small-flowered; is your seedling?

    Holy Sombrero looks like quite a flower! And your seedlings all look great. All things equal, I don't know how you cull them!! Small World Fire in the Hole does indeed make a statement when it clumps like that!

    My Holy Sombrero has just begun blooming. It's a solid golden canary yellow as your picture shows....... I like your last seedling too; Lilian's tears and roses x. And Love the mini Adopt Me. If I find it and have room I may just well do that. Nice double form on a small bloom. Thumbs up..............Maryl

    Nice photos today! I especially like Gram's Dream, Dreamy Drawing, and Holy Sombrero. Such nice seedlings too, although I like the Gavin Petit best.

    Mantis, the Pumpkin Prince X Gavin Petit seedlings is about 27 inches tall with about 18 buds and a 6 inch flower.

    Alex, Lillian's Tears and Roses X Ruffled Nuggets would not be considered a mini as it it probably about 4 inches across.

    Very nice seedlings! The ruffled edge of the seedling princess catches my eye. I also really like Burning the Midnight Oil, Cosmic Sensation, and Dreamy Drawing.

    The queen and the princess look fabulous. I love the eye and edge on the Pumpkin Prince kid, and stats sound very good. Ooh la la, the ruffles on the Ruffled Nuggets seedling are divine! You guys have some fantastic seedlings going!
