more goodies...Day +2 of Kontos and the plants are looking greener with a lot less yellow leaves. It also helps that it has cooled down a lot, next several days in the mid 70s.
It will be heating up next week again so this will be good to see how well Kontos is working.

New record for Rainbow Sherbet with octuplets today. If you can get Supernova and spray this CV regularly it does wonders for it's branching capabilities. I didn't think that RS could bloom so prolifically. The bush is a super awesome, round shiny green machine that totally adapted to any heat. And so far no spider mites.

David lovely blooms. Your CG is blooming like crazy - a very elegant color to your blooms and I really like your pink garden a lot as well.
Well, I am going to try a new strategy here to better maximize my time spent uploading pics with the volume of blooms now. Plant pics!
I don't know, cooler weather and/or the Kontos and/or the plants just getting more mature but man the blooms counts are off the charts now...
Sunrise Dance was a recent move into a shadier spot which it liked a lot. I expect it to start growing finally. Summer Fun has great new growth at the bottom.
And Charlie in case your interested my Valentines Day II plant was fully defoliated last year by spider mites so you can see the comeback it has made.

Farmer D, impressive lot for sure. The Valentine's Day shows great resiliency since the indignity of losing all its leaves to mites last year!

A little over a year and we are finally posting some of our recent blooms. We enjoy looking at everyone else's beautiful blooms, and want to contribute. These are some of our favorites...
Please excuse the old archaic camera, will hopefully have a new one soon...

Beautiful collection, Halibut! Some of my personal favorites that we have not seen posted much like Island Queen, Cherry Appaloosa, and Candy Stripe and that fantastic photo of Ruby Tuesday to finish things off. Nice job!
David, we grafted some Climax plants last year but didn't get around to it this year. Shockwave is a great flower on a stubborn, hard to shape bush but I plan to grow a few each year because of the flower.

Darren, love your new strategy of posting full plant photos. Gives a more complete idea about a variety, particularly if we have seen lots of bloom close-ups before. I have to say your yard is looking pretty fantastic, hard to believe most of those were only planted in spring of 2010.
