Just a couple of new to me, Lincoln Andrea

Honky Tonk Barbie is not such a true pink as I was expecting, but larger than I expected

Hot Springs Belle was sent to me last spring in error for Allegheny Sky. She did send me Allegheny Sky, but I like this one too. Large flowers and lots of blooms

Reminds me a bit of this one, Happy is the Heart, from Celeste this spring.

Laura Harwood

The rest are not new, but blooming today Mary's Baby

Clump of Whip City Sweet Honey Bee

Timeless Majesty just started blooming

Westbourne Chip off the Old Block has continued blooming remarkably well for its first year

Lavender Stardust

And a few more

Wise Whiskers still has a few blooms left

Bat Flight

I wanted to show the buds on Hakuna Matata. This was later in the day and the flowers had faded a bit

Ksy, I got Hakuna Matata early last year, I think. I am so happy with it do far. I love the flower, but so excited to see how many buds it is putting out. If the 3rd year is its leap, I can't wait for next year!

I like Hakuna Matata, too, Nancy. I just got it late in the fall but it bloomed well this year so I am looking forward to year two! Lavender Stardust is so pretty-mine is still blooming and has been for a long time. The color holds up so well. Great pretty shots of Mary's Baby and Laura Harwood!

The one you say is Honky Tonk Barbie does not look like HTB. Here is mine. It's not a true pink either - peachy pink, but it is true to name. It does have a darker pink ring around the eye and a very different kind of edge than the one in your photo.

My favorites are Mary's Baby and Lavender Stardust.

Thanks Debra, I will take a closer look at the next bloom. I have a pink seedling that bloomed, possible that I got that one here instead.

Lavender Stardust is my favorite of all of these. Of course I really like Laura Harwood.

That’s a lovely photo of Mary’s Baby! Hakuna Matata looks nice, seems it’s a popular choice every time it is posted.

I had to laugh at the name "Honky Tonk Barbie". The ruffled edge on Timeless Majesty looks great. I like your pic of Hakuna Matata as it fades.

Very pretty! My favorites are Mary's Baby, Wise Whiskers and Westbourne Chip off the old block.

Ha, my Timeless Majesty looks like the one you posted as Honky Tonk Barbie! When it opens, which is not very often (it tangles a lot).

Thank you all for commenting. Brad, Lavender Stardust is becoming a favorite for me, the blooms always seem to look nice. Mary's Baby is a good one Sherry, it bloomed late here this year. The name HTB is part of why I got that one Julia.

Timeless Majesty has plenty of blooms here, but the can snarl up. Not as bad as some, but annoying. It blooms later though so I keep it.
