Aleksandr, those are some beautiful colors in the photos you shared today. I especially like the last one. Which one is that?
Black Dream emerged from the doldrums and put on a show with a profusion of flowers today. Africann Princess also bloomed after weeks of inactivity.
Also Silver Memories and Me Oh My Oh.

Nice ones, John D.
Good selection Erny, but that Arabian Princess should be labeled African Princess. You asked about Alexander's bottom photo, which is Allen Sue, a variety that came to the US from Brazil many years ago. Its a smaller flower but great color - I think I have one big old plant of it at this time. It doesn't root well so availability has always been limited.

Charlie, thanks for the correction on African Princess. I may have substituted Arabian for African when I ordered the plant labels.

Erny, Charlie is right - on the last photo is Allen Sue. It is not a new variety, but pretty one. I don't remember it's size, but it was medium. When next time it will bloom - I will tell you.
Doll - very nice Cindy's Heart!!

Looking good John, Aleksandr and Erny!
Got my first bloom of the season for Simple Pleasures and Sizzle put out a stunner today. I apologize on some of the second shots as it got really windy today and was quite the challenge getting a nice shot without the petals being blown all over the place.
Also Legendary Pleasures putting out some more color - this one is really getting me excited.

The weather here hasn't been great either. Back down to the low 40s this weekend. Winter doesn't want to go away.

Darren, as nice as those Sea of Tranquility twins look in that photo, they were much more striking and dramatic in person.
Summer Shore deserves some mention for being a prolific bloomer--I have been getting two or three flowers daily on a plant that is still small and this has been going on for several weeks.
Also Bright Horizon (not fully open), Prosperity, and an old favorite, Donna Lynn.

Rocket's Red Glare is starting to look more like itself. Tahitian Lovely is showing real staying power--the more faded one of the two is now day 4 and still keeping good form. The brighter one behind is just opening today. Also Rainbow Christie.
