Lovely, i dont know what has happened to me, i dont really like Reds or Pinks but i have just bought Think Pink and after seeing that photo Love Story will be my next buy. Does the white really stand out?
hi dave, the white is a good white. red takes over most of the bloom. blooms are about 6 inches in diameter. great bush

Another strange Rainbow Sherbert bloom but not on the same branch as the other one posted earlier. A couple of shots of an interesting unnamed landscape variety. Blooms are just under 7 inches. Must be the HVH fertilizer.

I agree, Blue Ballerina is a very pretty bloom. I resisted getting it a first because of its smaller bloom size, but several photos posted on the forum sold me on it.
I know that wallet feeling though my primary problem has become space. I still have at least 10 plants on my ever growing wish list and kind of hope they don't show up in the store for a while since I won't be able to resist them. Also, based on the pics that Charlie has posted of many new seedlings recently there will be some incredible new cultivars on the way. Time to find a spot for a decent sized greenhouse and start budgeting for it. lol

Jolanda Gommer was hybridized by a commercial grower in The Netherlands, Hendrik Jan Gommer. It is his best known hybrid. Nina, who lives in Croatia, may have purchased it from him although much of her collection comes from wood that she grafts herself so it could have come from anyone who has it and sent her wood. Gommer used 'Fifth Dimension' in a lot of his hybrids and has said his best results came from using it. You can see the colors in Jolanda Gommer. Below is another photo of it taken by a woman in France.
