It is time to say goodbye to many! But the rebloom scapes are so plentiful this year. You have some beauties here in both categories. Jan Zoo is so impressive in the clump. Love Pink Aloha. Jellyroll Morton is gorgeous and look at those buds! Cup of Cool Water is duch a delicate beauty. They are all lovely.

Jellyroll Morton is one of my favorites, and I always love Pink Aloha. Cup of Cool Water I'd doing goidctoo.

Someone in Kentucky told me that Cofessions of a Hemaholic tends to bloom low. Is that your experience? Lots of proven performers here. Whistler's Sister I don't regret picking up because of Kay.

Pink Aloha, even in it's paler color, sets my heart racing. Cup of Cool Water is pretty, Jellyroll Morton always seems to bloom so well for everyone. My Extreme Tangerine looks about like yours later in the PM. Still colorful if a bit muted by our sun/heat.............Maryl

Thank you all for looking and commenting after my long bllom seaason.

Nancy, It has been a Long season and at this time of year I am always enjoying reblooms and really deciding on changes for the next year so the Gooddbyes are okay.

Kate, it is indeed time to say goodbye to a lot, but that goes on from about erarly midseason on. (Olan hates to see Clown Parade finish). Since our temps are similar, we have a lot of overlap, don't we>

Nancy, you are right, they are all good ones.

Mantis, as you know things in different aareas grow differently but here, Confessions of a Hemaholis blooms about three to four inches above the foliage...not tall, but not buried in it either.

Maryl, I think Extreme Tangerine must just be tired because it has been a very bright spot for a long time here but we are in extreme heat which affects them all, I am sure. Pink Aloha surprised me by reblooming so young and you are right; it is extremely rare to see anything but perfect blooms on Jellyroll Morton. It is one that brings a smile.

Wow! I can't believe you still have so much blooming and reblooming. I'm very happy to see you got rebloom on Dearest Valentine!, and you are so lucky to have rebloom on Pink Aloha. I've grown it for years, and the only time I ever had rebloom was the first year with one I had growing in a pot. Jelly Roll Morton and Cup of Cold Water look fantastic!

Debra

Not only is Dearest Valentine reblooming, but she has added a fan and her rebloom was the largest and prettiest I have had,,,She took a bit to get comfortable in my clay soil, I imagine. Pink Aloha has been so much better this year.

There is still quite a bit of blooming but way down fron 10 days ago when i had almost 300 blooms It has been a really remarkable season.

Goodness you have so many still blooming which is a good thing. Cup Of Cool Water is gorgeous. The color and ruffles. Nice photo of it. When the season ends I always think of Andrea Bocelli singing "Time To Say Goodbye".

I have fewer of the clumps every day, as it should be, but I also am watching new reblooms. So the reblooming adds a bit to it. It has been such a wild and unprecedented year with so many clumps. I have actually felt guilty and although I posted a lot there were always too many to post. what a nice problem.
