Farmer D, that's a good shot of the bush of Prosperity. It sure is thick with stems! It couldn't be much more than a year old. Did it grow that full without much pruning?

Darren, that is some interesting Cindy's Heart.  Mine has been very consistent throughout the seasons with look. 

Here is a new one for me. See if you can guess what it is.  Smiley

Charlie there was no pruning except for one lonely branch.  This CV has grown like this on it's own...very impressive!

Kristen my Cindy's Heart has not had it easy but it is a very strong and resilient CV.  I think once it gets some solid spring growth going it will get back to what we would expect.

And I agree with Deb I think that might be Vin Extraordinaire.

Quote from David (Vietnam): "I also spray weekly with a product called Amino Quelant-K, which is Potassium and Amino acids and is supposed to help the cv absorb more Potassium, it all seems to be working and am very pleased with the results."

David I was curious what ratio of water to product do you spray with or does it come ready to go?  I'm working on trying out this on my plants as well.

1 Tablespoon per gallon as a spray and 2 as a drench, but I have never used it as a drench, just as a foliar spray and you have to mix it yourself.

Seems like all the plants are in grow mode currently and getting new buds going. 
I did have one bloom today but boy if I was to have one this will do fine...

The weather here has gone from severe drought to rain every other day. Anyway, I had a nice Daisy Mae bloom today.

Steven that's a pretty Black Dragon!!  If you don't mind me asking where do you hail from to have it muggy this time of year?

David it is great to see Pineapple Sundae.  Your blooms are as pretty as always!

Jordan that is a beautiful HH!  That CV is really unique and I'm always on the lookout for any new crosses that involve it as it seems to make some fabulous creations as a parent.  How is the greenhouse coming along?

I say "Welcome great destroyer of aphids!  Please eat away and bring along all of your siblings lovely ladybug larvae"
