Deb, I'm glad someone on the forum got Inner Compass. I was really tempted to get one. Can't wait to see some blooms.

John, I also got Inner Compass with my recent shipment. I put it in the ground several days ago. No buds yet but it is a nice healthy looking plant about 2 1/2 feet tall so I'm expecting some buds in the near future.

Mike, those are some beautiful pictures. The colors on Melon Melange are incredible. Rocket's Red Glare (?) also looks as good as it can get.
I got my second Night Runner bloom today and it is far nicer than the first. Also Cindy's Heart, second day Louise Bennett, and another orchid cactus bloom.

Very nice bunch of "blues", Norm. I see you and a few others have posted photos of Rise and Shine recently. That's a quiet variety that is one of my favorites due to the strong bush and steady blooming we see here.Yellow doesn't seem to pop as much in photos but is quite beautiful nonetheless.
Ernie, good job with the Night Runner. Pretty flowers and quite the challenge as a bush. You've had success with some of the worst bushes like Erika Nicole - I'm beginning to be convinced that the potted growth habit of varieties is not completely relevant to plantings in the ground.

Fabulous photos everyone!
Mike those HM twins are just off the charts!! I hope mine one day look the same.
Erny great choice with Daisy Mae by the way. The bush on that cv will blow you away - extreme vigor and a crazy ability to bud. The blooms are always huge and the color is so bright and crisp it always makes me stop in my tracks. My favorite yellow bloom - I'm surprised it isn't always sold out in the store but I guess you just have to see it in person to understand it is not a typical yellow.

Charlie I agree with you whole heartedly concerning Rise and Shine. I like that one so much I even moved it a few days ago to give it a more noticeable spot in my garden and wow did that totally change up the overall look. It is so strong that it didn't even flinch after completely uprooting it. Super easy to grow and a really nice bloom with the large white zone. Another great cv!

John your Rainbow Sherbet is so colorful. I never grow tired of seeing it. All of your blooms look great! Fabulous form and colors...
You can also include me on the Inner Compass club. Went straight into the ground without delay under the peach tree a few weeks back.
Interesting comparison shot of AG in the morning and at the end of the day to see the color change.

a few more....Scarlet Beauty first opening is reflexed but when it recovers after a few hours it is a huge red beauty. Very impressive bloom and the bush is easy to grow.
