I've been busy with my crazy work schedule, so I haven't been able to post the last three days. WOW, so many great photos posted.
Darren - So many good ones but I loved Ay Caramba, Bright Horizon, Dapple Dandy, Living Legend and Tahitian Princess. Dream Catcher is awesome (I got one from HVH recently) and Sweet Persuasion looks like it has great potential. I got an Appassionata in my last shipment from HVH, so I hope it looks as good as the photo you posted.
Erny - Your Midsummer Night and Rainbow Christie blooms are stunning!!! Also, loved Tahitian Pink Princess, Hollywood Starlet and Serenity (another one I got recently from HVH).
Rebecca - That's a magnificent Sun Shower.
I'll be posting booms from the last three days. Had a Fifth Dimension with insane colors and best Make A Wish so far. Also, Funny Voodoo, Miss Congeniality and Whirligig.

My mystery plants. These are plants that I got from Armstrong's 2 or 3 years ago and were unlabeled or mislabeled: Mystery Purple, Mystery Yellow and Mystery Pink. Anyone have an idea as to their identity? Also, Johnny Reb.

We're having high winds with temps in the 90s in this part of southern California today so I went out early to get some pictures before the winds started shredding everything. My first full sized bloom on Vein of Gold. Magnifique gets better with each bloom and now gets a place on my short list of favorite doubles (along with Love Story and Samba Dancer). Also a nicely colored Living Legend.

I think Dapple Dandy will eventually be included in the Tried and True category. It blooms a lot with consistently large and well-formed flowers. A few of mine are just starting to show the warm weather spotting that adds so much to its beauty.

Bill I think your first purple mystery bloom is Me-Oh-My-Oh. Not sure on the others...
Erny your Venetian Brick and Prosperity blooms are top notch! Great to see Magnifique - that was my Mother's Day gift to mom so I know she will love it as she likes doubles and her favorite color is purple.
Yeah Dapple Dandy has really got it all. My last bloom of it was over 9" with colors that just pop from across the yard.
Also great to see Vein of Gold - with all this hot weather it should start having all kinds of changes in coloration I would think.
