Very enjoyable photos from everyone! Chris, that Rain Drop in your conditions is a wow!

Here's a new variety for this year that we like a lot called Time For Love. Purple and pink romantic colors blend well in this one.

Thanks Paul. I am but a pale reflection of the real Farmer D--trying to hold down the fort until his return.
I too have noticed a marked increase in the intensity of the colors when we have overcast conditions.

Thanks Charlie,

Raindrop is a beauty up here, definitely one I would recommend for anyone growing up north. 

Here is Dark of Night, also looking very nice.  I have yet been able to get it to set seed, but I am hoping the right combination will make it happen.

John and Chris, very nice photos.
Not sure if this is my first or second bloom on Bright Hope. Anyway the colors are quite bold. Also Tahitian Princess, Palm Springs, and Cindy's Heart.

Awesome blooms everyone!  Shocked

Mike - Thanks for the heads-up on the light!
John - LOVE your "Hot Babe"!
Charlie - "Time for Love" is a real beauty!
Paul - I feel your pain trying to photograph blooms in the "purple" plant lights (Although, all of the neon bloom colors are looking very 70's "black light" psychedelic... I'll have to play some Jimi Hendrix now - LOL!)

I came home to a bloomappaloosa of my own-- A couple are CVs I've been waiting years to see blooms from (Gwen Mary and Solar Eclipse)... Definitely worth the wait  Grin

Acapulco Gold
Fantasy Charm
Gwen Mary
Gwen Mary's REALLY fuzzy pads (LOL!)
