I love Diamond Shores. I hope to get a rebloom this year. Sam Abell always looks so good. Raspberry Quasar has a delicate look.

It was indeed a good working day here, as was yesterday. The cooler weather is welcome, and will continue next week, but many concerns remain about the summer. It's good to see blooms, but your ground does look very dry.

A nice group of flowers. I like Sam Abell, Raspberry Quasar, and Diamond Shores.

I'm loving the pinks in this group. I'll take one Diamond Shores and one Loose Reins. I'm glad The Ultimate Sacrifice is blooming for you, even if it's not at its best yet. I just dug mine up and put it in the plant hospital. I'm hoping it will scape after getting plenty of water and fertilizer. It had grass roots growing all through it and a big thistle right the middle. I've got to get that one to recover because its one of my Top Ten Favorites and a superb hybridizing plant. So I'm doing laying on of hands, singing to it, and praying a lot.

Two Sues and Wyatt Earp are my faves of these. Diamond Shores is nice too. At first I though the first one was Strawberry Candy til I read the name.

Diamond Shores is a real beauty, Nancy. If Hello Heartstrings is any brighter than your photo, it would be a sight to see. Nice. really like Raspberry Quasar too. very pretty ones, Nancy.

Not sure why all my stuff is spaced out like this, just something Houzz does to entertain me I guess. I am liking Diamond Shores too. I got it as a single fan, this is its 3rd year and just 2 fans now. Nice healthy fans, but they were last year too. Hopefully it will get clump size soon. Last year was Raspberry Quasar's 1st real year, it bloomed for a long time, looked good, but looked a lot like several I have. This year the eye is darker and more interesting, the edge more pronounced. Not as many buds as last year, but still quite adequate. Sam Abell had a pretty flower, but was short, last year that changed and it is still tall, or at least tall enough. Brad, I think you are looking at Happy is the Heart. Same colors as Strawberry Candy, much taller and flower is twice the size. Got that from Celeste one year, mine is not as big or tall as hers, but has not multiplied much either. Enough blooms, I think I may try moving it this fall if I can find a spot. It is right next to Mean green and another space hog.

Debra, let me know if you need some of The Ultimate sacrifice back, it has grown pretty well.

I like Happy is the Heart and Loose Reins. good to see more photos from you
