It is definitely peak week here

It seems peak arrived fast and there are lates still left to bloom but the peak color splash is here.

The front bed is shown most often because it had the least damage although there are lots of clumps in here with no scapes this year


Tahiti Sweetie


Royal Girls and Mean Green


Blushing Escapade


Fried Green Tomatoes


And yes, Mister Mayor again-from today-just a bloom machine


Stardust Dragon-forgive the mushies-too wet to get in this bed


Mister Green Jeans


Evidence of Aliens


Rose Pink Sparkle with hand to show the size of this bloom


And Ruby Star Sapphire-my least favorite form but it is another consistent bloomer

    The garden shot just looks glorious! You would never know that some of them don't have scapes. I love Royal Girls. What rich color! When did you get that one? You have quite a few Davissons now, don't you? Blushing Escapade looks wonderful. The one you sent me has scapes on two of the fans now. It may be blooming by the weekend. Mister Mayor is just wonderful, isn't it? That's my favorite Davisson. Mine will start blooming a bit later this year than in the past.

    Rose Pink Sparkle I see is another Reimer. Is it short this year? How much rain have you had recently, as you say it is too wet to get into the bed?

    Mantis, Rose Pink Sparkle is indeed short this year. You can see the short scapes in the background.


    Debra, I do have several Davissons. They are almost unbeatable for me in scapes and buds. I have had Royal Girls three years. It has multiplied well. Mister Mayor is wonderful, blooming and blooming! I am excited Blushing Escapade has scaped for you. Hopefully some decent blooms will appear! And yes, that front bed makes me smile every day, especially when I look at the other bloomless beds!

    It’s hard to believe you have had problems in your gardens, such a wonderful garden shot! So many nice group shots too, love the photos with Mr. Mayor and Royal Girls.

    Hope the cows and deer stay away, I want yo see more!

    Thank you Sherry. This garden, other than the few beds around my house, is the survivor. The others are toast!! With all our storms every day, I had to put out more deer deterrent today. I hope you are feeling better.

    Mr. Mayor is a luscious purple color and Rose Pink sparkle has such a pretty bloom. The garden shot looks like a riot of color........... I guess we will all compare notes on Blushing Pink Escapade. Mantis's picture during the Alphabet posts caused me to buy it just when I thought I was home free from adding any more to my list..............Maryl

    Wonderful garden and clump shots! Always enjoy Tahiti Sweetie. And Royal Girls and Mr Mayor are right up my alley with their color.
