    I think I'm on a pink bent today. Spoken in Parables is my favorite. Is the purple one Laura Harwood?................Maryl

    Beautiful clumps! We have Exotic Starfish on order. I also like Pink Tarantula and Fried Green Tomatoes.

    Well, I did it again. I didn't label Laura Harwood and I mislabeled Eyes of Distinction...here is the Rebloom of Spoken in Parables:



    That's what I get for rushing to feed the cats. Thank you for looking and commenting. A lot of this bloom came about because of a couple of thunderstorms that came up unexpectedly a couple of days ago. We desperately needed it with the temps we are all enduring.


    I really wanted to post a couple of others:

    Sugar Magnolia



    Lighthouse Blaze

    Your Laura Harwood looks wonderful. I could never grow it so it bloomed properly. These are all wonderful clumps to feast the eyes. BTW, Catastrophe Waitress and Bob Marley have finally started to scape. Carolina Cool Down keeps growing. Thanks so much Kay. Can't wait to see them all bloom.

    What beautiful clumps, my favorite might be Exotic Starfish. I can't wait til mine clumps up like that. Your garden must be a thrill to walk thru. At least, if you can take the heat!

    Marvelous clumps-all of them. Pink Tarantula is fabulous but so are all of them in clump form. Crystalline Butterfly is lovely. Curiosity Cat posed well for you and nothing beats a perfect shot of Laura Harwood!! Wonderful post. (I could use a couple of those pop up thunderstorms!!)

    Thank you so much for looking and commenting. Without the rain, we all know the plants suffer, especially with this heat. This has been an unusual year for me and Sherry, It is too soon to be on the ledge. the weather is sure for only one; it is going to change and hopefully yours will normalize. Julis, I am so glad they are scaping. Catastrophe Waitress has just started blooming again as it has four rebloom scapes. Kate, I hope you get a thunderstorm soon since you are as hot or hotter than we are. Nancy, My Exatic Starfish had a piddly two scapes last year and it has done beautifully this time. This has been the most fun ever as the plants have been very tall too...none other's so tall as Nancy's Extrerme Tangerine...I hape rain and cooler weather for everyone.

    You are queen of clumps, kay! I love each and every one of these, but Pink Tarantula makes my heart to pitter patter the most. Exotic Starfish and Crystalline Butterfly grab me too!

    thank you, Deborah. It has to be a combination of a lot of early rain and putting out Osmocote as soon as the fans were up good but weeks before blooming. I cannot explain all of the clumps this year any other way. My husband who was very lukewarm initially, is now saying it is sad that the extreme blooming will slow down... funny. He denies it now but he told me the plants looked like Johnson grass when they finished blooming.
