An all star favorite, Cindy's Heart. And an extreme Belle du Jour at opening, and after it chilled out for a bit.

Here is some Space Oddity for ya! Opening colors and faded colors. Great big bush. And a 24 hour progression of the freak noreaster that rocked CT this weekend. Oh and a little creepy itsy bitsy friend for a Halloween spook. And that he did when I was moving my plant when he dropped out of nowhere!

No lou, I dont....  I hear it is like a war zone up there. It is back to autumn for us, like nothing ever happened. The last 2 days have been beautiful weather, and supposed to be all week. Not to rub it in. We have so many people staying in our hotels here on the shoreline. They all are booked solid from everyone w/o power. Its like Irene all over again. We were one of the towns that was hit the hardest for Irene, so I feel your pain.  Some more blooms: Cherry Appaloosa Confection Perfection City Slicker opening & closing colors

Awesome Pics Darren, those bright tropical colors are what southern Californian falls are all about. Probably my favorite time of year there  Space Oddity is a great one, love that plant a very consistent bloomer and the colors are never disappointing. Seems like you keep acquiring more and more plants Kristen, so much for getting rid of some  Must be all the wood you've been getting.

Darren, thanks for the compliment. As always yours are never a disappointment. Really love your COF. City Slicker is a great bloom, the bush grows outward rather then upward. Maybe something that would not suit your yard, and it fades a ton, but as pictured above, both opening and later in the day blooms are great. In the sun it can fade to almost pale pink / white. Space Oddity is exactly like Chris described.
Chris, I actually got rid of almost 20 of my plants. Hows your Love Story?

more from today.... Interesting observation today - now that my Rainbow Sherbet is a total monster of a bush all the blooms only appear in clusters at the top of all the branches. It's great that it doesn't present blooms deep within the bush anymore, they're all on top and easy to open without obstruction.
