Darren, I love how that Prosperity looks with the purple pelargonium (or geranium?) under it. Purple and orange are my favorite color combo int the garden! Looking good!

Doll, thanks for the tip on Hot Pepper, may have to give that one a try too.

Denise, I really like the different shapes and especailly the varied heights you have for your containers. It makes things very interesting the way you mixed them up!

Darren, I got a BOATLOAD of plants,  Hot Southern Nights, Hollywood Starlet, Saffron, Song Sung, Vin Beau, Acapulco Gold, Lucky be a Lady, Sea of Tran, Simple P, Arc de and this P N that is now fading just a tad but still nice I thought on the second day. T Mist, is really SHARP!!!!!

Darren, T Lavender Mist is a real standout.

Jim, it's good to see that PN doesn't fade much.

A couple more from today.

Georgia's Thunder has been a very difficult one for me. Doesn't seem to like the heat.
California Beauty - nice ruffled bloom

Its just wonderful to see all the new blooms, I am really struggling at the moment, its hellish hot on my roof top, still getting a few blooms though and certainly more than last year.
Very nice Denise and will want to see the same picture in a few months, its amazing how quick they can grow.
Nice Georgia's Thunder John, I often here Charlie say how doubles struggle in the heat and I have a similar problem with Magnifique, but when I do get a bloom its worth that struggle and is a real favourite of mine, I also have Samba Dancer which is a double that thrives in the heat, also with Samba Dancer it slowly developing into quite an attractive bush[taken 3 years haha] so very happy with that.

Thanks Denise, those are three geraniums tucked underneath Prosperity and my rose tree.

I love it, Denise!  I'm going to pot my babies up today as well.  I think we got ours around the same time.

Chris, you're going to love Heartbreak Hotel.  Lots of nice blooms and a pretty little bush.  It's a slow grower, but not the slowest that I've experienced in my conditions.  Smiley

Beautiful blooms everyone!!!

Hot Southern Nights cut and put in the shade, Saffron and a new Andenium I have grown from seed, a sort of red and black so nice and different.

Happy Friday All!  Where did April go???

John that is a really nice Hot Pepper you got today and that Jungle Fire is still looking very colorful to me as well.

Chris - HH is a knockout - just an amazing color combo on that one!

David lovely HSN blooms - I can't wait for mine to bloom...

Got some really bright colors today with AG & PS.  Wow PS really is just a killer bloom today.  I prefer these colors to the summer colors that are mostly red & yellow.
