hit the wrong button and deleted the images I had posted here . Too tired to redo tonight so will post more in the a. m.

Nice group! I'm glad you got at least a few posted. My favorites are Sugar Plum Jam and Look Into My Eyes.

Lots of beauties!

Here are more images . Maryl , rain can do wonders ! and we have been getting more rain in the last 2 weeks than we had all summer up to this point and even all summer long last season!!! YAY !

First is Simmering Elephants and although the colors on the blooms are more intense since the rain , you can see how stressed the leaves show the plant was until this recent spate of rain.

This one was sold to me as Rosie Spiketail . It definitely is NOT! However that being said this is a gorgeous tall , (give or take 48 inches) huge red bloom. Just wish I knew who it was. I am guessing a Gossard but which one ?
Ava Gardner
Here is Lime Frost

OT-Spotted this in the midst of my daylilies only about 6 inches off the ground . Any guesses what kind of bird these might be from ?

This is Springfield Clan

Here is Datebook

and the astounding Uri Geller

Here is Laura Harwood

Here is Teddy Bear's Picnic
