Wow, I hadn't looked at the Forum in a couple of days and it took me nearly half an hour to get caught up. Lots of wonderful photos to enjoy. One of the nice things about having a lot of plants is that  each day provides a variety of blooms. I find that most of the cvs go in cycles where they flower for a few weeks and then take a few weeks off.
Fire & Ice is currently in a blooming cycle and today produced one darker than I'm used to seeing. Also nice blooms on Blue Opal, Vein of Gold, and Ay Caramba.

Kyle welcome to the forum!  Your 5th Dimension has some great depth of color.  Why they always open for the first time when we are not there?  I will be on vacation soon and I see lots of first time blooms readying themselves to bloom when I am not here...

Erny your blooms are all looking fantastic now.  Hard to pic any favorites as there are so many nice ones to gawk over!

I saw the first photos of Love Sonnet today on FB - Wow am I impressed to say the least.  Coincidentally I just planted mine today in the ground so I can't wait to see the blooms.  Has some pretty good size buds on it so probably will bloom while I am out of town of course!

Erny - That's a fantastic Fire & Ice and you know Blue Opal is one of my favorites. Great color on Vin Extraordinaire and Dapple Dandy.

Kyle - Welcome to the forum!!! I know how it is trying to catch blooms with my crazy work schedule. I've even gone out at night with a lantern to look at blooms I missed during the day.

Darren - Your Luminescence, Inner Compass and Midsummer Night are really looking great.

Blooms on Thursday: 1st bloom on Gerald Derr, Tahitian Royal Court, Simple Pleasures, Johnny Reb and Chariots of Fire.
