All I've ever seen of Sears Tower is distance shots showing how tall it is. I've never seen the bloom close up and it's a shame as it's quite nice. Thanks for posting that piece of information.....Sovereign Grace is a pretty lavender one and a nice clump shot too.........Maryl

Sears Tower is a pretty bloom, and Sun King is a lovely clump. Sovereign Grace makes a lovely clump too, Brad. And it is entirely too hot!

I like Sears Tower too. Years ago I passed an opportunity to get that one because I had never seen a picture of the flower close up either. I assumed it was not that attractive. Never

Brad , did you mean Sovereign Queen ? I can't find any info on Sovereign Grace and SQ sure looks like your plant . It is my favorite of your images in this post.

That’s a good shot of Sears Tower, did you have to stand on a ladder? Lol. It’s a perfect bloom. Looks like your new camera is doing the job. I like Vintage Wine.

Even splotchy, Regal Finale has lovely color. Brad, it could be Sun King. I have never seen that plant (well, unless that is what mine is!!). I think the problem is that there are so many like it out there that are so similar and look alikes- I would never label it in my garden other than my garden name because I could not be sure! Omomuki blooms just before my yellow begins. I can take a last bloom on Omomuki to compare and they have the same form, color, shape, etc. But the noid is taller, slightly bigger, and blooms a cycle later so I don't think it is Omo because of those factors. In your case they are blooming at the same time and you have the ability to put them side by side. So....could be. I have some old, old records in a closet somewhere that I keep saying I am going to get out and go through to see if I posted it in any of my files-it would have been pre-computer days when I bought it. Yes, it is indeed that old!!! (And so am I)

Your new camera seems to be getting good color. Sovereign Queen? is my favorite of these. That is a nice clump of Sun King!

Debra

Yes, I goofed. Sovereign Queen not Grace.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
