You got some beauties. Chained in the Abyss is a pretty one as well as Coach’s Magic Man with the dark colors that please me so much. Sweet Miss Rose is a lovely one; great photo. Sun doesn't really bother Blackberry Dragon; it is very pretty regardless.

Keepsake Rosie and Bold Approval are very pretty as is Sexy Sarah. Shade might be better, but Blue Dolphin looks good regardless.

Chained in the Abyss looks great. I am astounded at Vanishing Mist, mine has never looked like that, just an occasional splotchy bloom. jCoach's Magic Man is always perfect here that I remember, just short, and even shorter this year.

Nancy, I think the heavy dew splotched Vanishing Mist. That would have been a great bunch without the splotches! And yes, every bloom on CMM has been almost flawless.

Don't apologize for posting more than one photo of the same cultivar. This crowd likes to see whatever looks good - over and over again. I think my favorites of this post are Sweet Suzanne, Black Falcon Ritual and Keepsake Rosie. $exy Sara looks good too. Show us some more pics of Chained in the Abyss in the future.

Miss Rosie and It's Miller Time look interesting. Those, with Chained, I would like to see more of. Chained may look better than parent Broken Chains, which hasn't been a stellar performer here.

Black Falcon Ritual looks good today. i honestly cant remember having dew splotched blooms here, could it be higher humidity you have.? I have splotched blooms occasionally with morning rain. Vanishing Mist would have been spectacular, you showed a great bloom on it recently.

Debra, I bought Sweet Suzanne to honor a friend who has gone through a year if chemo and radiation fighting a rare cancer-modt of that time spent at MD Anderson. I hope to send her a division this fall.

Mantis, fingers crossed the deer allow more photos! It’s Miller Time is so bright and has that sawtooth edge that is very distinctive.

Sherry, the dew tends to impact those that begin opening the night before. And yes, let’s blame the humidity!!

Kate: It is interesting to me to see how many of yours I have or are on my short list. Paula Goes Primetime is due next year (fingers crossed). It has special significance for me. My deceased sister is named Paula and because of my religious beliefs, she has gone to Heaven - which is the ultimate Prime Time. Great to see a preview of it.......Like the color of $exy Samantha in your picture quite a bit.......Coach's Magic Man is intriguing. Always enjoy the rare vision of a deep purple without dots, spots, or blotches..........Maryl

Maryl, some of my purchases are sentimental in nature. Sweet Suzanne because of my friend with cancer and Paula Goes Prime Time because of a friend who lost her husband and is just now coming out of her grief fog. I buy them, multiply them and then share! I could just buy for them but I want that shared tie if that makes sense. Paula has no frills or thrills but is oh so delicate and softly pretty! Last year I shared Heartbeat of Heaven with a friend who lost her husband.

I have had S. Samantha for several years but she is usually very splotchy. This year her colors have been clear and pretty. I love Coach’s Magic Man. A dark velvety purple that has not shown a single marred surface this year. As I mentioned before it does fade in my heat but does not melt.

I'm impressed!
