A Summer Switch?

8 years ago

Today was grueling, but in the 10-day forecast, I see all low eighties after a few more days. Could the summer be turning?

    We have some high eighties in the forecast, and I'm excited about that!

    Dawn of Aquarius

    Mary Frances Ragain --very nice this year
    Mahogany Magic --likes the heat (not a large flower)
    Carolina Cool Down
    We've seen enough Ocean Rain
    Arrogant Bastard --didn't capture color well. This one is on shorter scapes.

    Lovely blooms and lovely photos, Mantis. Dual zone and Carolina Dale are my favorites.

    Mantis , what a glorius clump of Belief in Vein High on my list of ones that call to me are Duel Zone, Sparticus Adorned, Scandinavia. Soli Deo Gloria looks like it has it all !

    Soli Deo Gloria is beautiful. If you have that one, you should forget about asking about Skin of My Teeth. SDG looks like a much better garden plant. Ashwood Dark Side always impresses me in everyone's garden. Those are gorgeous blooms on Sweet Prairie Wind. Mine was short and didn't have many buds this time.

    Solo deo Gloria calls my name every time I see it. Belief in Vein is gorgeous!

    Very beautiful bunch. all those purples....I think I like Sparticus Adorned the best of them & Sweet Prairie Wind second, but what a toss up. Looks like your Coral Majority is doing well. Mine has been awesome.

    Lovely group of blooms. Soli Deo Gloria is beautiful. I like the look of Scandinavia. Other top picks include Dual Zone, Ashwood Dark Side, and Coral Majority.

    No rain here. Tired of watering.

    Not sure what I think of Sweet Prairie Wind. Scapes were quite tall at the estate.

    Same story here in mid-MI about no rain and higher than normal temps coupled with high humidity. Makes it very difficult to work outside. But we are supposed to be much cooler today, and there's rain maybe coming up by the end of the week.

    As to favorites - too many to choose! So I'll go for the one that stands out for me as a want for the future - Scandinavia.

    we got a very little bit of rain last night , which has ushered in some cooler temps ( that the powers that be) It is a glorious day out there and the first day in weeks that I have been able to work throught the lunch hour. Just came in and was surprised that it was almost 1 o'clock and I can still breathe. That hasn't happened for a long while. I'm with you Alex I am on the look out for Scandinavia too . Just missed it on sale on one site I visited. it was available one minute and sold the next

    Heather - thanks for sending that cool air on down to me - much nicer today! :) Hope I can pass it down south now...

    I'm going to add Duel Zone to my favorites of these.

    Love Dual Zone! Scandinavia looks good today.
