First love bloomed with some cool striping today/splash of pink color. Anyone else get this effect in the summer?

Today... a vivid Island Girl...
...and my Cinnamon Girl plant continues to impress me! It opens at least one bloom per day. I think it's the best bloomer I have so far.

And this is the reason I haven't been on much lately:
I pulled her out of a storm drain last Wednesday night.

Awww thats a good reason to be gone.
I must admit I really love Cinnamon girl, big bloomer is an understatement, blooms as much as brilliant!

We had great fun yesterday with lots of interesting people stopping by. I forgot to keep the camera handy so did not get any shots until after it was all over, but then did take some of the bloom table and porch area where a lot of flowers were on display.
The first of these shows an unnamed seedling that surprised me with 6 open blooms the morning of the Open House so I brought it over to show. Only 3 of the blooms are obvious in the photo but it had an impressive 6 on the bush. Sort of a nice dark purple flower, worth watching.
The others are of the porch and fountain area and just show a bunch of blooms gathered for display.

Looks like it was a good one to go to. Just looking at the bloom chart, it looks like you had a bunch of varieties available at this open house. That seedling is pretty interesting, is that the original seedling or is it a clone all grown up?

The seedling is the original plant. I'm sure it must have bloomed a few times before but it got my attention this time with this many blooms. The difference between the original seedling plant and clones of it can be quite surprising. This plant is over 6 feet tall and quite lanky but cutting grown plants of it may be quite different. This week I will take cuttings from it and see it they root.

It will be interesting to see how the cuttings compare to the original! Do you usually keep all the original seedlings of ur cvs or do you discard them once you have healthy wood stock going?

Nice list of cvs, I am assuming you have a nice plant stand to put them all on? I need to see a pic of your porch once you get those cvs in the mail  |

Jordan: Oh man, 7! Which ones you end up getting? I got away with just two this time Kerry: Those pics are awesome! What camera do you use? I think I might have stumbled upon some pictures you took of your Zoos yesterday on another forum, reef2reef.com and have been trying to figure out how to take nice tank pics with my bros D60. Any suggestions? Anyways great flower pics! |
