Thursday, the last "cooler" day for a while

6 years ago

Hopefully this will be a good day for posting. I was busy this morning and did not get photos til this afternoon. Every flower of Get Jiggy and a little pattern to it, I was quite surprised

Green Mystique, not today's bloom but I don't think I posted it before. 1st year for it, and the wind the other day toppled some of its scapes

Mister Mayor still looked pretty good at the end of the day

Pigment of Imagination at the end of the day. Last year I was disappointed because by the end of the day the edges of the petals melted. Not this year, and I think it looks quite interesting. Now I need to get some photos of it as the day goes on.

I like the look of Mr. Mayor. It is new here and it look good there. Green Mystic is a pretty one. Linda Beck looks really good. It is fun to watch Pigment of Imagination as it changed through the day, isn't it?

My favorites are Mister Mayor and Green Mystique. When did you add Mister Mayor? I got it this Spring, but mine is not blooming yet.

Sherry, isn't Tall Dark Stranger amazing? I was not sure I liked it when its 1st ear, I think it is on its 3rd year now. Last year I looked at it, and it seemed darker and richer looking. This year I like it even better.

Kay, it is fun to watch for the changes. I missed it today, last year I remember there was a brief time that I thought it quite beautiful, but ho hum in the morning, and yuk that night. I think a little maturity may have really improved its substance

Debra, I just got Mister Mayor and Green Mystique last fall. I guess mine had time to settle into its new home and bloom time.

Well, this is luck. I was just thinking about Green Mystique yesterday except for the life of me I could not remember the name. I grew it for years and always found it beautiful. It wasn't white for me. More on the pale yellow side, but the form was always excellent and it was a solid grower............That's a really good picture of Get Jiggy. Nice pattern....I just gifted out my last Linda Beck last year. It was such a beautiful color until about mid afternoon. I kept her for years but had to finally cut her due to downsizing......Motown Blues has a pretty color. Nice and cool looking for a hot summer day........Maryl
