Since almost all my plants are in the ground, most are in full sun most of the day. I like to take photos with the flowers shaded as the bright sun tends to wash out some colors and they show best when shaded. Sometimes the difference between the pictures in full sun and shade are quite dramatic as I noted in a few today.
Cinnamon Splendor, Vin Magnifique, and Magic Crystal.

Erny, those examples of shade/sun are very interesting to see.
John D, is your Ms. President a large flower?
Below are a few of the many varieties blooming at HVH in recent days. Dynamo and Vein of Gold are 2 superb varieties that do not have a great photo in the store. These are both very strong upright bushes with 8 inch flowers that get all sorts of spots and markings in the summer. Expect Miracles is another super colorful variety that we enjoy a lot. And last but not least - Tarzan - a real beauty that should be available in January.

Charlie, so far all the blooms I've had on Ms. President have been around 7 inches.

Thanks, John. We saw it get bigger in the greenhouse this summer 8 inch plus so I was wondering.
Below is My Little Angel, my favorite new double.Its about 7 inches but seems bigger the way double flowers do because of all the petals.
