Some more blooms

7 years ago

Hopefully Houzz likes me better today.

Billy the Kid is doing good this year. I was out early before the rain starts back up so some may not be completely open

Barbara Alsop was new last year, I think this is going to be a good bloomer, nice big flower

Glory to His Name. New last fall, the 1st bloom was pretty splotchy, but these look pretty good

Enduring Freedome is one I like. Occasionally a few splotches, but large flower and lots of blooms

Discarded Beauty

Cosmic Odyssey had a good year last year, not as many buds this year though

I will try for more in the comments. Assuming this one posts

See what else I have

Venetian Pools is such a big flower and seems to have a consistently nice pattern, but is blooming short this year, its 2nd year in my garden

Screen Pattern, 1st bloom and oddly shaped

Butterfly Moon

Celtic Veins, much more color to it than it had last year

Neon Rainbow

Mysical Rainbow

Rev it Up is a big flower, it is new

Jumping Jack is splotchy, short, but has potential. I like the purple. It is new last fall and 1st bloom

Heaven's Proclaim, another huge bloom. I moved it last fall and short scapes, although never a tall flower.

I don't think I have posted Malaysian Marketplace, but if I did you get to see it again. I almost killed it last year, one nice scape with lots of buds, another shorter scape just soso.

Well, Nancy, at least you didn't mistakenly dig up Malaysian Marketplace and just toss it on the ground with the wrong label like I did....and it planted itself and bloomed very nicely anyway. I know you are glad it survived because it is a beauty and I really like it. Rev it Up is an eye catcher! Butterfly Moon is as pretty as can be. Venetian Pools is a beauty. Enduring Freedo is a beauty, anad Billy the Kid is gorgeous!

Your Billy the Kid looks great! Mine is not doing as well as the previous two years. I don't know if it's because it's in more shade now, or if something ate on the roots. Malaysian Marketplace looks so pretty. I hope your two fans will multiply. Others that caught my eye were Cosmic Sensation. Jumping Jack and Heaven's Proclaim.

Your Billy the Kid looks good. I think mine looked better this year. Your patterned ones are really showing those defined patterns. They all look good!

Butterfly Moons and Celtic Veins are my favs today! I like the flower shapes, the sepals add to the beauty here. Heavens Proclaim is glorious, I don’t remember seeing it before. Such a bonus with huge blooms, hope it has taller scapes for you in the future.

Enduring Freedom has a great saturated color. Pretty........Butterfly Moon, with it's pinched sepals, lavender/pink base color and eye pattern, is very attractive.....Cosmic Oddity is another one like it only with the fuller form. Both are lovely.................Lots of nice ones in this group.............Maryl

Oh, I forgot to say Venetian Pools is blooming short for me too. Yours has a terrific pattern.

It's good to see Celtic Veins doing well for you and it must be so glad it went somewhere warmer than here. I really love Butterfly Moon. I spy an orange kitty behind Rev it Up!

Nice group! Glory to His Name and Rev it Up are my favorites of these. Malaysian Marketplace is nice too.

Kay, Malaysian Marketplace has always been one of my favorites. It did not bloom last year, I really missed it.

Debra, I think Billy is having his best year yet, but it has steadily increased every year so it is getting to be a good clump. I hope Venetian Pools gets better for both of us next year.

Celeste, I am not sure Celtic Veins is really happy here, but it is improving. I don't think it has increased, but the color is much better this year, and more buds. I hope it makes it, I really like the look of it.

Thank you Brad. I was amazed to see how big Rev it Up is, sometimes you just have to see a bloom in person to get it. I am really liking Glory to His Name too. It seems to be doing so well for 1st blooms.
