Orchid Majesty is one impressive clump, and I love the color of the flowers! The cat bed shot is wonderful, and F. Garret Mason has always appealed to me. Peppy is living up to her name!

Debra

Thank you, Debra. I am watching them bloom out one at the time. Of course I am having rebloom, but the downhill slide is well underway.

Kay, I’m with Debra, cant get past that clump of Orchid Majesty, spectacular ! Peppy caught my eye too, love that big green throat with the purple bloom.

Sherry

Thank you, Sherry. I think there were 18 blooms on Orchid Majesty's clump.

I agree with everyone about Orchid Majesty. What a beautiful clump! I love Crackling Fire too. Ours hasn't started to bloom yet. Garden Butterfly is wonderful as well as Peppy.

Nancy

You do have some show offs!! And none more than that Orchid Majesty clump. The cats are still looking good. My Explosion has not bloomed yet-maybe this week. I always like Garden Butterfly. Your post name was spot on!!

Thank you Nancy and Kate for looking and commenting. Orchid Majesty always has a few really pretty clumps, but it outdid itself with so many blooms today. Nancy, this is the third bloom on Crackling Fire and the first two weren't what I was looking to see but I liked this one I look forward to seeing it in a clump.

I was happy with that cat post. Do you still have Desperate Housecats? The catas in general are later bloomers than most so they continue to give good clumps. Garden Butterfly is doing pretty well this year and you have that one too, don't you. I think I saw it in your post. More and more are blooming out, but that is as it should b here.

Kay: Beautiful selection today. The "cats" look great together. Peppy has a nice pencil white edging. Orchid Majesty multibloom pic is beautiful.

Julia

Thank you, Julia. The season is slowing down dramatically here, but still a lot of nice blooms. Orchid Majesty just showed out in this one.

Orchid Magesty is great, I could hardly get past it. Garden Butterfly is lovely, and I love the cats!

I still favor the full form, but when I see something like Orchid Majesty, I understand how beautiful the UF form can be. You have some real winners...............Maryl

Thank you Maryl. There was a time when I wouldn't have a UF in my garden. It is hard for me to believe now, but I know it is true.
