1. Walk in the Clouds is so nice, I wish the bottom petal would flatten out a bit, but all the buds so far have done that. Such a pretty color

Westbourne Easter Egg Hunt, always opens perfectly and many buds. It is short though and barely out of the foliage. It really looks more blue in person

1. White Eyes Pink Dragon

Wild Irish is short this year

A couple of seedlings, this one is supposed to be out of Cosmic Odyssey, but the 1st bloom is about twice the size of CO

All of My Love to You looks pretty. Mine started blooming yesterday. But why are your dragons (White Eyes and My Pet) and Walk in the Clouds blooming before mine? LOLl Usually the ones we both have, mine start blooming a few days before yours. I think Navajo Pony might be my favorite, but it's hard not to pick STenciled Infusion. Both seedlings look good. I like the Cosmic Odyssey kid, and twice as big is all the better in my book.

Nancy,

Thanks for the report on POI. That bud count sounds about right, based upon other reports that I have heard over the years. I really like the looks of ALL OF MY LOVE TO YOU.

David

This is the first clump of Pigment of Imagination I’ve seen. It’s always been a single bloom. It seems the color change Timing is the same for each bloom? That a great photo of the lovely White Eyes Pink Dragon. I’m not sure how I feel about Navajo Pony........

Sherry

Beautiful blooms! Love the clump shot of POI. And I like your second seedling, very pretty.

Lovely group Nancy. White Eyes Pink Dragon looks great.

Nice blooms! My favorites: Navajo Pony, Giant Terratorn, White Eyes Pink Dragon. Wow, what great branching on Elegant Candy. Mine is doing well, but not like that! I also like your second seedling.

Brad

All My Love to You has such pretty color! Wonderful picture of White Eyes Pink Dragon. Walk in the Clouds looks like it has lots of color going on.

I really like the Navajo Pony. Your White Eyes Pink Dragon is much darker than mine and very pretty. Stenciled Infusion is hard to beat for lovely, isn't it? And, I like My Pet Dragon. Nice group.

I missed this post somewhere along the way. I love, love All Of My Love To You. I'm not much of a purple fan but this one by Rice looks really good. I'm glad I found your post........Maryl

Navajo Pony, Giant Terratorn are my choices but I was surprised by My Pet Dragon. Not usually a color combo I like but that little bit of Yellow on the sepals changes the whole thing . I love it . Even surprised myself with this one .

Debra, I guess my plants are just in a hurry this year. I think I have mentioned before that most all of my settled in plants are blooming a little late this year though. Not much, but definitely on the late side. Walk in the Clouds seems to be totally confused. The first year it bloomed about when I would expect a later one. Last year it tried to put up a single scape very early in the season, and that just gave up before blooming, and that was it for the year. There are now 8 or 9 fans, and several scapes, it is looking lovely, but earlier than I expected it to be.

David, I think All of my Love to You will be a good one. Last year it bloomed well for 1st year, had to move it this spring, and still has bloomed well. One of those colors that could be splotchy, but not so far.

Sherry, the color change is the same pretty much for all the blooms. It might be based on heat,, or sunlight, but not sure. So far it has been pretty consistent with change despite the temp.

Thank you Laura and Julia!

Brad, did move it last fall, and was not expecting it to do well. Actually, it does not look as full as usual, but I don't remember ever seeing branching like that before either.

Kate, Walk in the Clouds does seem to have a hint of rainbow in the flower, I really like it.

Kay, Stenciled Infusion really is beautiful! .

Maryl, I am just looking forward to seeing All of My Love to You in a year after it gets to settle in. It does so well getting moved around, and I am going to move it back this fall. Poor thing does not get a home.

Heather, I was not sure about Giant Terratorn, but it is growing on me and I like the color. Love Navajo Pony, but you are exactly right about My Pet Dragon. I saw the picture last year and was not too excited, nice but not one I would pick. I don't think I noticed that bit of yellow in pictures, but it caught my eye when the flower opened. Seems to be a good all around plant so far.
