Wow, Persian Rug looks nothing like Glamour Shot.  Maybe that where it got its bush from, though. 

Here are two photos of my Fiery Furnace's first open bud; it had been dropping buds like crazy-- I think due to our sudden heat spell-- but has calmed down since it cooled off to the upper 70s low 80s.  These are the blooms opening colors (yest. morning).  By the end of day one all the orange had faded away, but the nice texture survived until the bloom closed tonight.

I like the opening colors, but from what I have learned is it fades pretty badly in the sun, so you end up with a grayish flower for most of the day.  I think "island girl" has very similar colors, but doesnt fade much.

Aha, my next guess.  My Belle hasn't bloomed yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

WOW, great pictures you guys!  Kerry, is that Nightfire?

Well That is its first bloom , it only lasted a day but I have not fertilzed this plant , I gave it some last week. So I will let you know how it blooms next time. The bush is upright and I love the big green foliage!

Has delta dawn bloom for you ? I can not find any picture of it other than the stock picture from dupont nursery.

I haven't gotten a bloom yet from Delta Dawn.  I bought it a few months ago as a 4" plant.  It has a few buds developing, so I'm ready and waiting for it.  It has a good bush and branches naturally, and I like the foliage.  I will take some photos later today of its bush.  Oh yeah, and it grows FAST.

Yah I really like Belle, she blooms pretty constantly, but for me grows very slowly.  Its probably because she allocates all her energy to bloom Cheesy.  I guessed it was either nightfire or midnight blue.  I really like both those blooms, but I am really starting to run out of room.  Im saving space for all the ones on my wait list, and burnished gold, if I can find one.

Kerry, those blooms are great. I love the Nightfire, I have nothing else like it and it is at the top of my wish list which just keeps growing. I also am about out of space.

Here's a few of mine that I grouped on the patio for a photo: Gwen Mary, Pina Colada, High Voltage, Cherry Appaloosa, and a mislabeled one that for now Charlie and I think is Happy Days.
