Darren - Tahitian Magenta Double Star is quite the stunner! Beautiful! Love the colors on Rocket Fuel too!
Erny - Great blooms on Space Oddity, Ruby Tuesday, and always a pleasure to see your Cinnamon Splendor.
Bill- Blueblood, Gabriel, and Blue Opal look great! I'm. Sucker for the blue cv's!
Every time Winter a Wonderland blooms, I always seem to be at work....until today! I finally got to catch it as it first opened. Such a beauty! Took several photos of it throughout the day.
Also a great bloom on FiFi which I caught upon opening, and photographed again later in the day. She always looks more FiFi-like as the day goes on. Lol
And my first bloom on Thunderhead! I love, love, love how dark the center of this bloom is!

First bloom on Sweet Persuasion for me yesterday before I left for work. When I got home, she was already closed back up. Has anyone else had this happen with this cv? Still a beauty though!
Also Tahitian Princess, Tiger Lilly, My Blue Heaven, Kilimanjaro, and Chianti Classico

Black Rainbow, Ms. President, Wow Factor, Arabian Nights, Tahitian Taui, and Merlot Magic Twins.
A word about Merlot Magic... This plant is constantly producing blooms for me, the blooms last for 2-3 days, and the colors stay dark. This cv is a winner in my book!

Love Out Of The Ashes! Later in the day Reflection decided to bloom right next to Hotel California, and I thought they made a cute couple so I photographed them together. Lol And finally, I can't get enough of Winter Wonderland and Thunderhead, so I took a couples photo of them too.  |

Charlie I know with your high standards you would not sell it (Sheer Pleasure) if it wasn't all around awesome. I can tell by yesterday's bloom it has a lot of multiple colors going on. Can't wait for more...
Wow Paul - I have to hand it to you as those are some of my favorite CVs you are posting bloom shots of. That shot of Sweet Persuasion is phenomenal. That has me jumping for joy to hope mine can get to looking like that! Same for Hotel California - mine has yet to bloom if it is like your's Holy Smokes! Winter Wonderland is crazy pretty with that hot pink eye contrasting with the rest of those colors. Wow Factor is WOW! and I am really excited by the look of Reflection too. Mine has yet to bloom but the bush is getting bigger by the day. Great stuff Paul!

Paul - I don't know where to start. So many fabulous blooms. Loved Thunderhead, Wow Factor, Hotel California and the Merlot Magic twins. I've been considering getting Moonlight Sonata and have decided to get it after seeing your blooms.
Darren - Great Island Queen and Night Runner blooms.
Today's blooms: 1st bloom this year on C'est Bon, Tahitian Burning Sands, Goin' Steady and Aussie Queen.

Erny mentioned the difficulty of getting good photos of certain cvs and I said that I could only get good photos of Erin Rachel in the shade. The photo of the Erin Rachel twins shows this quite well. One was in the shade and the other in full sun. Also, Painted Lady, C'est Bon (day 2) and Creole Lady. My old Creole Lady bush produces many interesting blooms with extra ruffles and sometimes extra petals.

Bill I have had the exact same experience photographing Erin Rachael too. Those colors are so neon colorful in person.
White Hot today with a mind blower!

Darren - OK my mind is blown. Insane White Hot bloom!!! Also really like Tahitian Slowburn.
Blooms here on Sunday: Had my 1st blooms on Greenie Meanie and Gina Marie. Greenie Meanie has the fastest growing bush I've had so far with lush fascinating foliage. If you like a little novelty in your garden, this is one to get. Also, Creole Lady, Tylene and Erin Rachel.
