Well, Happy March everyone! Its almost Spring! I figured I'd start a new month since I just got out of work and put todays photos on the computer. Since its after midnight... rabbit rabbit!
Some pretty ones from today.
Cindy's Heart
Heavy Metal
The Path
Erin Rachel (my camera still hates this one)
Night Runner (does everyone else's NR look like this??? My blooms immediately go to a full backbend and stay that way for days...)

Thanks Denise & Darren! Im loving them. There is a pink theme going on over here. Even the seedling! It bloomed again, unfortunately I only had my iPhone to take the photo. Ill post it later. Looks very similar, more veining, deeper maroon coloring, lighter fade on edge.

Kristen, that was a great way to start off the month of March. Beautiful pics.
I had another Cindy's Heart today. And the one from yesterday is still looking great.

Doll, don't you just love CH? I get multiple blooms all the time. Even throughout my chilly winter! Been such a great cv for me. Some beauties you got! And mine always last 3-4 sometimes 5 days!

A second bloom opened on Hot Southern Nights today. I am really liking this cv--the blooms present upright and flat just like it's parent, Living Legend. If the number of buds are any indication this will be a prolific bloomer. One more large bud is visible and should open in a day or two. The first bloom is now day three and still looks good--only slight fading but retains its flat fully open shape. There are also three more small buds forming beneath the flowers.

Beautiful Erny! Love it. I ordered Slapstick this Jan, I thought the two looked fairly similar in Charlie's photos. Charlie, How similar are these two? Seems like Erny's is a bit more orange and Slapstick is more of the red family? If Slapstick blooms nearly as good as HSN I will be so excited! Either way, both are so pretty.

Even if that flexed-back form on Night Runner is not desirable, I think it looks really cool and dramatic! And the colors are awesome.

Kristen, CH is m favorite variety by far. The blooms usually last 3 days for me during the spring and fall. But during the hot summers here, they only last 1 day.
Erny, your HSN is amazing. Can't wait till I get some buds on mine.

Below are some recent photos of some of my favorite blooms.
Simple Pleasures - well known, well behaved big flower.
Carmel Dawn - almost unknown but high quality, large flower from Cranberry Muffin
Bright Hope - fantastic large flower blooming indoors
Cherokee Princess - nice brown flower
Aztec Giant - this one can get up to 9-10 inches
Golden Giant - another one that is heavy textured and quite large

Very nice Charlie, stand out for me is the Golden Giant followed closely by Aztec Giant, I do love the Gold Colour. I have Cosmic Gold and its one of my favourites but that wont be Gold till next winter, now its just yellow.
