Too early for this type of heat and it will last a few more days. I have a feeling this heat will push the blooms too quickly now. Internet is back up and they had to replace our router to get us back online.

Photos taken this morning at 6am before the sunrise and I went back out at 9am to see how different a couple of them looked.

BLACK FATHOM DEPTHS - started blooming a few days ago but missed the first openings. Lots of scapes and buds this year and well above the foliage.

NO MORE TEARS opening today. Showing the 6am photo and a 9am photo.

9am

MAGIC OF OZ - moved last fall to a new spot for more room. Shorter scapes than typical from past seasons and more faded. Again a 6am and 9am pic.

9am

LUNAR MAX - has been blooming for over a week now. Shorter than normal. Still above foliage.

JAMICAN LOVE - opening this morning. Not a nice open bloom as lower petal is canoeing. . Scapes are good height.

I'll stop here as I tried to post earlier and the whole post disappeared while uploading one photo.
