Great photo's again [nothing wrong with your camera haha], your Some Like it Hot is similar to mine when I have had very strong sun, very red with gold dots, it actually fades to its normal color later in the day.

Hi David,
We really like this CV, but it has not faded. The only change we have seen is that the amount and size of the spots/patches have Increased with warmer temperatures.
Ever since we purchased a shade house with 50% mesh it has dramatically changed the way our plants and flowers have behaved. Some noted changes are that it is rare that say a CV like Rosalind blooms as a true double and CV's like SLIH and Shockwave show reduced amounts of yellow/gold if the weather is a little cooler.

On the positive side, our cooler color spectrum blooms can be really Intense with the filtered light.
All the Best!

Hal and Jean I really am going cuckoo, I was comparing your SLIH to the opening color of my Hot Southern Nights, you can see in the first photo there is a similarity, then HSN does fade to a lovely color, I must start wearing my glasses more haha.

Hal, your Compassion has a lot more pink than mine does.  You must live in a milder climate than I do. I'm expecting mine to look closer to yours when it stops getting into the 90s everyday.

John, Hal and David great blooms.  Nice variety of CVs there.

I can officially join the Cindy's Heart club today with her first two blooms - nice!

Also Miss Congeniality put out a dazzler today.  Man the pictures don't do this one justice at all.  The complexity in the bloom is amazing and the hot pink border is something to see.  The twins shot is a good one since one is day 3 and the other just opened.  I'll post another plant shot soon as the plant is growing so well.

Sunrise Dance is also looking more beautiful with each bloom - loves the shade. 

Rainbow Sherbet today had 9 really big blooms, so this CV is something else as it matures more and more.

Darren, congrats on your first Cindy's Heart blooms. I'm sure when it matures it will be one of your favorites. It is my best bloomer by far.
