Saturday flowers

8 years ago

Thought I'd try to post some more today. It was cloudy in the morning, and after a chilly night some only opened late.

Past peak here and with the ridiculous bud count this year (I mean very low) my season will be very short. Only one DL is yet to have it's FFO, and no shows this year are American Doll, Choral Fantasy, Gilded by Grace and Raspberries in Cream, all but GBG are tiny little fans, at least they survived :D

So, flowers:

Carnival in Brazil

Cosmic Struggle

I gave Shores of Time to my step-daughter a few years ago, hoping it would be happy in Northwestern Missouri. She called the other day, raving about it. It appears to be very hardy, including your Zone 4 climate. Great!

Isle of Patmos - it got too hot too early so a lot of damaged foliage

Ruby Spider - almost done

Go in Peace - LFO

Shores of Time

Lovely group of blooms. Your Shores of Time looks great. I also really like Carnival in Brazil, Isle of Patmos, and Two Sues.

Shores of Time looks very pretty! I also like Isle of Patmos, Sea Dragon, and Two Sues. Cosmic Struggle has the look I prefer in purples, and Ruby Spider makes a showy clump.

Very nice! I'm sorry about the low bud counts this year, it sure is frustrating. Carnival in Brazil always catches my eye, and of course I love the purple Emmerichs too. Two Sues is definitely striking, I love it too... I divided mine in the spring and it has very short scapes this year, so it's kind of hidden, and not many blooms.

Impressive pic of Shores Of Time. Seems not to mind cool mornings, eh? I have Carnival In Brazil here but with the cool mornings the openings have been less than stellar so far. Yours looks very good.

Good color rendition in this group. Did you get a new camera? As I recall, you had some problems in photo colors in the past? Lovely Shores of Time; it can be very nice, and sometimes a mess. Ruby Spider has been a great performer this year. Good rendition of Bombay Silk. Yes, Chris Salter can be good.

Pretty color on Shores of Time. Two Sues is so pretty, mine did not survive the odd weather this year. I like Sea Dragon too. Details look very crisp on your photos.

Pretty ones. I always like seeing Beautiful Edgings. Reminds me of Jean.....Ruby Spider shouts Hello to me and Shores of Time is a pink I wish I'd had better luck with, but glad you do............Maryl

Thanks so much, everyone for your comments!

Dick in Ohio, that's great! Yeah our climate is a real test for hardiness.

Thanks, Debra, Ruby Spider sure does, we love this one!

Laura, good to know about 2 Sues, thankfully mine doesn't need dividing just yet, and I really really do not like doing this ;)

Julia, Shores of Time is not open all the way flat, but I'm ok with her like this too (and poor thing is in the shade)

Mantis, thanks! Nope still old camera, probably was a good time of day for taking pics (mine does Not like oranges / peaches and makes some purples more blue purple rather than red-purple as they are, but many cameras do that).

Thanks Nancy, oh I am sorry about your Two Sues, I thought it was very hardy.

Maryl, I too thought of Jean!
