I'm way behind in looking and posting.

6 years ago

After a "dryer" spell, we've had more rain. Sorry I can't send some to anyone.

I just got in from pollinating a couple. Here's some catch up from the past 3 days. Some will go in the comments and might be later today.

Art Gallery Expressionism. Having a very good year. The first set of blooms were destroyed by the hail theother day.

Augumenticus clump

Bali Water Color nice and dark


Belle Isle Sentry

Bold Vision is way down in the leaves. Normally 32"

Castle Pinkney group. Using it for hybridizing this year.


Ethiopia.

Forsysth Flying Dragon clump

Joan Derifield

Loch Ness Monster Trio

    A couple for the yellow fans...

    noid

    Kate's "Kate's Smile" noid. It is loaded with buds and is big and bright.

    Also from Kate, True Gertrude Demerest


    Prismatic clump.

    Red Grace

    Rob Cobb is huge

    Spiritual Corridor duo

    Strutter's Ball Clump

    Tuscawilla Tigress

    I finally got an open Chance Encounter--by force! See the tear in the right petal?

    Brad,


    I really like Art Gallery Expressionism, but Lambertson intros are iffy in my area. I actually have another one of his marked to leave the garden this year. BELLE ISLE SENTRY and of course JOAN DERIFIELD look great. I know I have done the same thing in assisting certain blooms to open, to only have the petal crack. Thanks for sharing.

    noid


    Webster's Pink Wonder

    FFlying Dragon poly

    Seedling from 2019. 16 buds, up from 10 last year. Tall, holds up to the weather.


    Sibling to the seedling the other day, Indian giver x Siloam Amazing Grace. Only 2 buds. It has a long way to go.

    Seedling A. This year it has been hard to tell A and B apart. A is brighter and has the halo.


    I'm caught up on posting. I've seen a few of yours, need to look at more later.

    Who can keep up with photographing the flowers when they come on so fast and furiously? Art Gallery Expressionism is so lovely and my favorite today. Castle Pinkney, the yellow NOID clump and the Prismatic clump were my other favorites. It looks like Kate's Smile is a winner for everyone who added it.

    I really like Art Gallery Expressionism. Prismatic looks fantastic too. So far my Tuscawilla Tigress has not been right thisyear, flowers not as big or as bright

    Brad: You know I like that orange seedling. It's just the deep orange color I favor...........Art Gallery Expressions looks great and I always like the color on Bali Watercolor.......Your yellow is sure blooming to beat the band. Is it small flowered? Could it be Happy Returns?............Maryl

    My goodness! When you catch up, you really really catch up!! There are way too many pretties here to try to name favorites-Castle Pinkney continues to look good-I always liked the color of Strutter’s Ball-Art Gallery Expressionism looks great in that clump. And I am so glad my garden yellow has performed so well although not surprised-whatever it is, it seems to be an exceptional plant. Wonderful post of lots of color!

    Thanks everyone. Maryl, no it isn't Happy Returns. It's more of a gold. And it has to be older than the year 1967 or so, as I was about 12 when I bought it.

    Well, looks like I’m with the group today, Art Gallery Expression And Kates noid are my favorites. That lavender noid of your is high on the list too.

    Very nice, Brad. I like Rob Cobb and Webster's Pink wonder...Mine is lighter possibly due to the heat, and I really like seedling 'A" That is a terrific color! And Kate's smile is showing out for you. Very nice.

    Nice group Brad. I like your pic of Tuscawilla Tigress. Nice and bright. We finally got a storm last night and another predicted for this afternoon. Need much more rain to get back to "normal".
