Catching Up From the Weekend

These pictures are from Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My gardens are at peak, so there were lots of photos taken on those days.

Betwixt and Between with nice small group

Born to Reign ffo - Scapes are a bit shorter this season.

Bucklebury Ferry

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt ffo - This is well-budded for its first season of bloom. This is Nancy's daughter's intro.

Believe in Angels was whiter in person than in this photo. The sun is making it look darker in color.

Royal Invitation ffo - I have two divisions of this. One has scapes the normal height, and the other has scapes about four inches shorter than normal.

Magnify the Lord is well-budded and well-branched this season. It's a hard one to photograph. Petal color should be a darker yellow, and the eye should not have as many red tones in it.

The Ultimate Sacrifice - Bloom on the left is on a short scape and the other one is on a 26-inch scape. Flower stalks should be 30 inches, and were often that height in Nashville.

Soli Deo Gloria lost a fan shortly after I planted it, and has not multiplied since. Scapes are very short this time.

Lovely garden picture-the colors are so bright. SC Francis Busby made a pretty photo. I always like the look of The Ultimate Sacrifice. Born to Reign looks flawless. Lots of nice ones here.

I find it odd that Soli Deo Gloria is already blooming for you. I never thought of Indianapolis as having a warmer climate than southeastern Ohio. Buckleberry Ferry also should have darker yellow blooms. It looks as though the low light of early morning has distorted colors. Busby looks good. Gardens here definitely not at peak, though this week's heat will accelerate things.

Mantis - My photo of Bucklebury Ferry looks exactly like my blooms. The plant is still growing in a pot, which may be why the color on my blooms are lighter than yours. Maybe Soli Deo Gloria is blooming earlier for me because it didn't bloom at all last year.

Kate - I've never seen SC Francis Busby with that deep a color. I guess it was the extended cool temps and the rain.

Ultimate Sacrifice is drop dead gorgeous in that photo. Such a rich red.........I've always like Royal Invitation. I like the shade of purple/lavender. It's just so short..........Maryl

Maryl - Royal Invitation is registered at 22 inches, but it's usually taller than that in my garden. One year in Nashville the scapes reached 26 inches tall. My short clump is about 18 inches tall now, and the taller clump is 23-24 inches tall.
