Rain last week, rain yesterday, rain today, rain tomorrow....

And rain above 50% chance predicted every day for a week. It seems we have entered the rainy season. Some of these rainstorms have been torrential, destroying blooms and limiting photos. I don’t have the lovely garden shots Kay has shown (I let someone borrow my duck waders!!) Some of these are repeat submissions but they continue to impress.

Lady Dragon-imagine huge massive blooms here

A little rain splotched but still pretty I think

Catastrophe Waitress

Ruby Spider

Crystal Rubies-one of the newbies that did not disappoint

Dance with Somebody

More to follow

Well, thanks to you Kate, Lady Dragon may be going on my wish list. That list should not be getting longer! But I like it better every time I see it. Nice clump of Free Fall and I like Simplicity in Motion.

Wow Kate, so many pretty ones. Catastrophe Waitress, Lady Dragon both stand out to me.

We too have lots and lots of rain, also predicted for all week.

Lots of pretties, despite the rain! I think my favorites are Lady Dragon, Free Fall and Lake Champagne. We only got a few sprinkles here today. I'm going out to water a few dry pots.

Thanks all!! Debra, I suppose our rain is going south of you? Unbelievable how much it has rained lately after a nearly rainless May. Nancy, Lady Dragon is one I got from Guidry during his sale last year. I always write notes beside my purchases about size of fans, condition, etc. On this one I made lots of notes on how small and puny the fans were. I recently went back and added notes on how well these plants multiplied and bloomed!! I also got Diamond Shores and Mega Monster and they have been fabulous!

Kay, I think you were the enabler on Catastrophe Waitress!!

Beautiful group Kate.I like them all especially with the raindrops. We could use rain here just to cool us down. Overnight temps stayed in the 70's. Suppose to get storms each afternoon this week but the percentage is not that great.

Looking forward to seeing more of your blooms and garden pics once the weather clears.

What a great shot of "Free Fall". Looks like a flight of orchids........... Lake Champagne is a pretty one too. I can also see why Lady Dragon is so appealing.............We are in the rain cycle too. Most of my daylilies are still scaping, but a couple (one I've waited 2 years for) opened up today to an inch and a half of driving rain. There went that excitement. More rain tomorrow and off and on all week. On the week-end the heat moves in. What a year this has been.................Maryl
