Orange Velvet is lovely today! Have you had a lot of polys this season?

Sherry

Yes Sherry, I've had an unusual amount of polys this year. Ironically, Forsysth Flying Dragon, which usually does once or twice a season, didn't!

I love the combo of red and white (light) together!

Orange Velvet is quite pretty, and I like your double plant shot very well too.

I like VT September Star. Purple Riot looks nice with So Lovely!

I simply love your Orange Velvet ! It is a gorgeous apricot orange rather than the harsh orange so many oranges are. I wonder why this season in particular has produced so many polys for everyone . You would think with this dry weather it would be just the opposite . I guess the secret is Mother Nature's to keep ......

Signet, we've been quite wet. We only had 2 weeks of dry.

Debra & Nat, yes they do go well together, but where's my blue so they can be patriotic? LOL

Hey Brad, how come you are so lucky ? They ( and by they I mean the weather guesserators) promised us rain by noon. It is now 2:15 and the sun is shining like nobody's business. What a surprise ! they didnt get it right ........AGAIN!

Today wasn't so lucky with the rain--it was absolutely torrential, 70+ mile an hour straight line wind, so trees are down everywhere. My daughter had to come here [she's 1/2 hour away] because her whole county has no power [KY counties are quite small].

Sorry you didn't get any rain again, Signet.

I noticed the radar showed a lot of rain in Kentucky today. Hope everyone is safe and okay. Orange Velvet is my favorite but the other photos are lovely as well.

Lori

I've also had multiple polys, though not much rain. Am wondering what the trigger is? Orange Velvet is wonderful!

Lori, the storms raged! One of our adult daughters is staying here; there is no power in her area, a mere half hour from us. 12,000 without power around her. With all the damage that happened, no serious injuries. Lots of downed trees though. We just had a few branches down.

Glad there were no serious injuries! Hopefully power is restored to everyone soon.

Lori

Thanks Lori. She got to go home around 9pm last night.

Glad all is well in your neck of the woods Brad. The nasty storms seem to be more frequent . Can't think of the last time anyone had a nice summer rain . It always seems to be torrential rains and high winds .....damage causing storms.

We woke up to rain this morning and it has rained pretty much all day. We desperately needed it . Wish it could continue for a few days but I doubt that will happen. Still this reprieve will mean the difference between blooms continuing or more bud drop . I am very relieved it came our way.

Brad, I thought we missed out on that rain you got. They said it would arrive at 8:00. It did not until a few hours later. Sounded terrible, but did not last long, for 3" of rain in very short time though. No damage luckily, although traffic lights have not worked well on some places since.
