Hi Dave,
Yeah Torch Song is really nice, I think that it is a harder one to propagate, worth it since it blooms big and alot.
The set up is doing well, I am going to go through the collection the next month and find homes for the plants that havent performed the way I wanted over the last year or do not have the right growth habit for my grow area.
I also had a St. Patrick's day pair of blooms, Green Elf. How is the wood from that one doing for you Charlie? Really is a cool green color, bush is nice and upright as well.

Really nice Torch Song Chris. Reminds me why I have it on my Wish List.
Took a break from watching endless hours of college basketball today and noticed that I have some decent blooms after weeks of nothing worth showing. Some are even starting to show spring form and color. Magic Crystal is loaded with buds and blooms. Tahitian Sophistication is trying to remind me why it is one of my favorite flowers. Prosperity and Love Story also looking good.
Erny

Saw my first ever bloom on Fuschia Delight today. I suspect this is still winter color.
Also Delta Dawn, Chariots of Fire, Daisy Mae, and Hollywood Starlet.

Chris that is perfect timing with Green Elf. Such a unique bloom for sure!
Erny that is quite the set of blooms! Some really surprising looks there for some of them. I must say T Sophistication is looking amazing already and your Black Dreams look really nice too.
Have a nice trip!

A rather large sized True Love bloom today looking more like summer form. Very nice...

Getting a little more color in AG each week...can't hurt that it is the first day of spring. Bring on the light!
I also love the updated picture for Dappled Dandy. Wow that is a fun bloom, it looks like this would be what it looks like before it hits it's peak of an all yellow edge?

Rebecca that can be a cause of bud drop, especially when there is a sudden and drastic dip in temps. When a plant gets stressed so it eliminates non essential parts first to focus energy use on the more vital parts of the plant to stay alive.
Yesterday had one of the nicest Black Dream blooms for me ever, big, bold and perfect! Also a very nice LL getting much more color now.

Very nice bloom Aleksandr, the colors are very dramatic and so well defined! Wow talk about no hope for warm weather anytime soon...here in the US it is the same with one snow storm after another as well. Seems like here in So Cal it is the only place where spring has arrived on time...
Had some high quality triplets today from Erin Rachel. One shot is really interesting as the sun is shining directly into the bloom and you can really see that eye zone well. Very unique color combo!
