This deserves a post of it's own...8ft up at the top of the bush.

John your T Princess is a pastel beauty!
Heat wave the last week (nothing terrible) and the hibs seem to love it. Some great results from the weather and increased feedings too...

Darren,
Our Tahitian princess is just starting to bud up pretty good now, glad to hear that it's not just us it must be a late bloomer but the temps here in Ohio have been mild this year so maybe that has something to do with it.
Here's a cutting of tigerama, I have always heard that it doesn't root, I have been trying for a few years now and this is the first time I have gotten roots, hope it continues to do good.
Fly me to the moon (our first bloom) morning and then afternoon picture.
Moonstruck
Thanks, Patrick

Patrick - I am finding that many of the Tahitians require more fertilizing than the HVH varieties. If you don't feed them a lot they are really picky with water and show yellow leaves easily and start looking more stick-like than lush and full. My T Princess is still getting used to a lot more water and is in a semi-shady spot (keeps the blooms from fading fast with those colors). I'll take a picture of the bush as it is getting rather impressive and the bud count is off the charts... I totally forgot about this Scintillating bloom so it is partially faded but still very nice Farmer D |

Here are Fire and Ice and Sorcerer from 9/8
Getting a lot of these tiny flying bugs, especially on the dying blooms. Are they the fungus gnats or shoreflies?

Hi Gill,
If they are black and are usually found hanging out on the wet soil, they are probably fungus gnats. I think I see a few on the fire and ice bloom and in that case, they remind me a lot of a fruit fly of some sort. If you can post a photo of it, we can better identify it.

Gil, despite the bugs that's the nicest Fire and Ice bloom I've seen.

1st bloom for Dream Catcher - I think I have some work to do on her as it is planted next to OK Corral and Dragon Moon who also don't look quite like the online store pics.

Black Dream is developing an interesting burnt orange edge in the summer heat which I didn't know it could do and I love it!

The Path continues to blow me away with by far the best blooms I've ever seen on her. Also Vin Electrique with second bloom of the year but tons more coming soon...

My Summer Fun plant has really been struggling this year as it is has very little room for her roots being planted next a large cement footing for my porch railing. I hope in time the roots find their way around it and to lots of open planter soil.
Also a pretty amazing Renaissance Blue from Japan on FB
