Some more. My first bloom of Confection Perfection! Ordered one as a 4" and 6" last year, and go figure the first bloom is on the 4" while the 6" has just been growing like mad but no blooms.

Also, Heavy Metal today! And since the two are neighbors and look so good together, I thought a group shot was in order. Smiley

Finally my first bloom on Carnelian!! I got this as a 4" last year as well. Blown away by this one! The depth and range of colors is truly amazing! Also took a close up of the stigma pads...this bloom has way more than its fair share. LOL

Also a day 2 pic of the bloom.

Mike your blooms are all beautiful - and your Cindy's Heart is so darn colorful and bright.  It is like candy!

Paul all your blooms are outstanding - great variety!  Your comment about the 4" ones blooming first doesn't surprise me.  I am at a point now where I can say I see better long term results with the 4" plants as they seem to adapt better and then grow strong in their local climatic conditions - they just don't seem to struggle nearly as much with transitioning from leaving the greenhouse.  The only big downside is they can struggle much more outdoors in winter and die more easily...

John your Expect Miracles looks amazing!  I really like those deeper colors...

Paul your Confection Perfection is so different looking than what I've ever seen before - the colors are beautiful!

First bloom today for OK Corral.  This one definitely comes under the "camera cannot get what it looks like in real life" category.  I am also curious to see what it will look like later today when it is not so reflexed.

Haute Couture is already back to the colors I like to see on her blooms.  I'm just not a fan of her blooms having brown in them, I much prefer the lavender with heavy gold spotting.  Heat & sun!!! And right next to her Rodeo Drive puts out another dazzler

Cosmic Gold actually showing some faint spotting - now that I would not have thought possible.  I love it!

Some updated shots of OK Corral now that it is not reflexed.  Again tough to get the camera to accurately portray the bloom but pretty darn close...
