Yes, lots of nice clumps remain in your garden! I always like Orchid Majesty and Crazy Kate. Better Than Ice Cream looks wonderful in your garden!

Cabbage Butterfly and Two and a Half Cats are favorites today. How do you have half of a cat, crazy name. The garden keeps pumping out these marvelous clumps, love it.

Your clumps are always so photogenic, Kay! Beautiful. Boys Night out is not doing as well this year as previous years. No reason why not, the one beside it, Thundercat, is not doing as well either, but then in front of them is Womanizer is doing great. I look forward to seeing my Explosion in the Paint Factory! Hope it looks as good as yours!

Thank you Nancy. I try to stop and remember that I am taking a photo not just ripping through the garden but I don't always manage to do that. It is funny that oe will have a really great year and the next a" Meh:" year but it happens. And then, there are those plants that always do well. My Explosion in the Paint Factory always has one or two of the totally yellow blooms, but never a totally red one, at least not so far. I hope yours does well too.

The clumps are still looking good!! So many here really stand out-Two and a Half Cats, Boys Night Out, Orchid Majesty and Canbage Butterfly. Blue Dolphin is looking good and Indian Ripple is so bright! Actually they all look good-worth going out in the heat every day to look at!!!

Thank you, Kate. I am finally seeing last blooms on a fair number. Of course some stubborn ones are still putting up rebloom scapes but the big show is bound to be winding down. As you know, we have had an unprecedented season with so many blooms and clumps this year. It has been fun, hasn't it?

Funny but some plants just almost always have such pretty , picture ready ways to them; Two and a half cats, Orchid Majesty, and pretty much Crazy Kate, Jellyroll Morton; they just don't take bad pictures. Still, a few keep blooming in clumps, and I have three new ones in possts with scapes of all things! It is fun to see how any new ones fit too, but it takes more than one year,

If yours never take bad pictures, then you aren't having the kind of bleaching heat that we are. Actually, in a national map, for several days, a small part of southeastern OH and West Virginia had pink shading to indicate the most severe heat advisory.

Better Than Ice Cream looks interesting, though color is different from Maryl's.

I must be in a lavender mood. Boys Night Out and Orchid Majesty are calling me.......I just had my first bloom on Better than Ice Cream a couple of days ago. It shone from across the garden. Takes my heat pretty darned well.............Maryl

Just beautiful to see all those blooms. Interesting take on Better Than Ice Cream.

Great clumps!! Orchid Majesty, Boys Night Out, Two and a Half Cats, and WEPD are my favorites.

Thank you, Maryl. That is one beauty and while I really like this one sent as Better Than Ice Cream and it is doing very, very well for a first year plant (and I will keep it since I really like the lighter color) I have apparently once again received a different plant than I ordered. this one is a coral peach and liker than the real thing which is a beauty. Boys Night Out is one that I enjoy and a Davisson bloomer.

Thank you, Julia. As I told Maryl, another different plant than ordered apparently but very pretty in its own way is increasing well. . The blooms overall have to be coming to a trickle since I actually began pulling the first dried scapes yesterday but clumps continue.

Thank you Brad. I like the ones you chose as favorites too. Some good ones. and even though the season is winding down for me, it has been a very good one.
