A nice group. I prefer less close-up, so one can get some idea of relative size and plant habit. Bubblegum Queen is a pleasing shade. Is it a vigorous multilplier for you?

thank you, Mantis. When I am photgraphing individual blooms, i like close ups, but it does leave height of plant in question.

It's good to see Bubblegum Queen blooming for you. It looks lighter in color for you than in my gardens. Extreme Tangerine and Boss Hogg caught my eye.

Nice shade of pink on Bubblegum Queen. It does look a bit different then what I remember in Debra's garden, but both are pretty. Ashwood Inferno catches my eye. It radiates heat. The color is right up my alley..............Maryl

Hot Tamales and Redhots deserves that name! Boss Hogg is looking good. I like Nile Princess. They are coming at a fast rate aren’t they?!!

Yes, Debra, for some reason it has been light here but still lovely.

Maryl, that color is right up my alley too.

Kate, they are coming a bit too fast almost but very pretty.

Just a note that mine has been lighter than usual as well. Although a little darker than Kay’s bloom, it is usually a darker shade of pink

Nancy, I did not see you post. Indeed, yes, I know you and your husband also like the bright colors. They make everything look happy to me.. Can't wait to see your blooms.

Kate, so funny that they would be lighter maybe the drought bothered them.

Beautiful set of blooms Kay. I'm a bit behind in reading the forums but will catch up.
