Darren,

Love the colors on that NR!

First bloom on Space Oddity. It was nestled in the branches and leaves, so the color fade was off. Love the color bands though.

Ernie, awhile back you posted a photo of Ross Estey and I thought it looked a lot like my so-called mystery pink (which isn't that pink in the summer) and I found an interesting article you posted to the forum in 2011 about Ross Estey. If you have more blooms could you post them, so that I can compare blooms. Day 2 blooms on my mystery pink and Blue Opal. Also, had my 1st bloom on Fire & Ice and a couple more Erin Rachel blooms.

First bloom on Luminescence. It was at least a 2nd day bloom. This one was hiding from me, but luckily I noticed it as I was watering.

Also Hotel California and Out Of The Ashes.

Bill that is interesting about Ross Estey - I know it is a prolific bloomer too (I don't have it myself).  If that is your mystery pink consider yourself lucky!

Paul your blooms are off the charts!  Fabulous colors on your Moonlight Sonata and if that 4th pic down is Appassionata those concentric rings of color are a sight to behold.  Fantastic blooms for sure!

After spending 3 days driving around southern California looking at colleges with my grandson I've fallen way behind on the forum. Lots of great photos as usual. Too hard to pick out some for specific comment although I must say that Paul presented a fantastic set of photos today.
Bill, Ross Estey is a salmon pink color that, unfortunately, doesn't always show up well in photos. But it was so widely available in southern California nurseries that it is a real possibility
Here are some photos that I took the other day but didn't have time to post. Hopefully I can add some nice one from today later.
Butterscotch Bliss, Meteorite, Red Cadillac, and Wild Grape.
