John, that garden Pleasure is very pretty.
Patrick, thanks for sharing that beautiful photo of Cinnamon Splendor the other day. It motivated me to order it and I'm really pleased with it. The first two photos show opening colors in the morning--one in the sun and one in the shade. The third was taken this evening at twilight. Also Vin Beaujolais and Sun Shower.

I like your Cinnamon Splendor, you can sure tell we are growing in different climates because yours looks alot different then ours does.

A couple nice FF blooms at the in-laws, the petaloid one looks like Samba Dancer.

Also I found this incredible rendition of Pinot Noir on Facebook from Russia.

Darren, I've not seen Flickering Flame look like a double before. Your Muy Caliente is an incredible bloomer.
My first bloom on Dragon's Breath today although the plant is still small. Also Magic Crystal, Winter Lights, Luck Be A Lady, and Burnt Saffron.

Erny

Mine has put out a handful so far in it's life yet the one at my in-laws started last year with super full doubles and I wasn't even sure if it was FF as it looked like Samba Dancer.  Either single or double is a beauty!

Erny your LBAL is freakin amazing!  That is one heck of a look for that bloom!
