I've got a lot more blooming at the end of July than I had last year. The MLs are blooming longer with more buds, and I still have Thistles and Thorns and Sword of the Spirit with instant rebloom scapes that haven't started yet.

So Irresistible has two rebloom scapes going. It also rebloomed here last year.

Linda Beck has an instant rebloom scape that started yesterday. When I first got thi one years ago, it used to rebloom on every fan. Then it went in too much shade and didn't rebloom the last few years I was in Nashville. I'm glad to know it can rebloom here.

Zuzu's Treasure - I badmouthed this one earlier in the season when I thought it had poor bud count. The first two scapes only had 5-6 buds, and the flowers have been smaller than usual. Then I started noticing a few days ago, it was blooming and blooming. It's bud building, which it's never done before, on three scapes. One scape has 21 buds now, another 19 buds, and the third, 18. It usually has 13-14 buds for me.

White Tooth X Skater #5 is showing a lot of late bite.

Doctor Handsome has the darkest color of the season.

Pink Extraordinaire X $exy Samantha #3 - I've enjoyed seeing pretty flowers on the rebloom scapes, especially since the original flowers either couldn't open or had bug damage.

Rainbow Maker has six rebloom scapes going now, and one other on the way.

Sword of Justice and Summer Kate

Twitch has shown lovely color with the cooler temps. I look forward to this one forming a clump. Sorry about the bad foliage. It's been dry here for at least two weeks now.

Roman Cohort X The Ultimate Sacrifice is vibrant in the cooler weather. I'm not sure why the sepals are lighter now. On earlier blooms, sepals and petals were the same color.
