You might want to edit Tears of a Clown although I find your name for it hilarious!! Fingers on the keyboard!!! lol

Wonderful! That's the best clump of Deliverer I've ever seen, with nearly every bloom looking clean. (It left because of issues here.) It may just be the angle of the picture, but scapes look a bit shorter than usual and bud count lower (Wild Cherry One especially). What device are you using nowadays?

Thank you for the correction Kate. I was quite surprised to see so many clumps, And, of course, there are others. you know extremely well since you have such enormous beautiful clumps. And Kate, we are finally getting some real rains, not just sprinkles. I am so happy to see it.

Thank you, Mantis, Deliverer always does really well here and at Kate's house. This is the most buds it has had I think there were 24 yesterday and 21 today. You are right about Wild Cherry Wine. It has been both shorter and had a scantier bud count, but overall the counts have been pretty close to normal. I have noticed some scapes being shorter, Marilyn Lee Bock is shorter and has had fewer blooms than usual. Black Fathom Depths has had at least twice the usual bud count,and has instant rebloom but may be a touch shorter. The long drought and unusually hot weather even through last winter and early spring doubrtlessly had an ill effect. I am already having instant reblooms starrt on some plants. The device is a Google Pixel 10 Pro, and these are the first photos from it.

Thank you Brad. It was fun to have a lot to photograph especially since I had a new device, and it seems to be an improvement over the Canon Camera I had used for quite a few years.

Wow on your clumps! They are all wonderful!

Thank you Debra. The rain made a difference.

Great post. I especially like Roman Cohort, and Spoken in Parables. I grew Deliverer many moons ago for a couple of years. The color did nothing for me, and space being what it is I gifted it on. And because of space I haven't re-ordered Wild Cherry Wine after loosing it a few years back. I grew it for years and although it never was overly floriferous, it was a really pretty one that I liked.........Maryl
