Darren, that Rudolph bloom looks really big. Very nice.
The heat is really on this week. Yesterday was 102 and it's supposed to be 100 plus all week.

Right on with Rudolph, that one was almost 8". The detail in the rays and eye is pretty amazing. The blooms are kind of brick orange as well as reddish, but I can't wait for cooler weather in late fall and see it darken a lot. TX has been suffering for months now with the heat. Add the humidity and I don't know how y'all tolerate it without going crazy. Come out to So Cal, later this week it is forecasted to be about 80 with low humidity. It has been a pleasant summer in Hollywood with only a few days in the 90s so far. Today's blooms... Farmer D |

Darren, I can't complain. I just checked and it is 107 in Dallas right now. Ouch! Only 98 here at the moment. And add to all this we are experiencing the worst drought ever.

Bridal Path, this cv looks a little different every time. High Voltage and Vin Beaujolais in the picture.

David that is one gorgeous Bridal Path. Just fantastic!
John your Black Dream is darker than I ever imagined it could be. Is the heat making BD do all sorts of unforeseen things?
Today's blooms...
Got my first Bonnie Lass bloom since the plant was completely defoliated last year by spider mites. Very happy it has made a full comeback.
Also Picante continues to get prettier by the day. This one has an amazing pink swirling eye with gold spotting again on the rim. What a CV this is turning out to be...

A really rare shot of a falcon that lives near by in the top of a historic apartment building. I've been trying to get a pic of it for years and yesterday it decided to pose for me behind our house while looking for dinner.
