1st Inner Compass bloom - I give this plant credit it is in a really hot afternoon spot and this week's heat has been tough on it but it has hung in there for the most part.

Darren, all those Celedine flowers must be putting out a nice scent in that part of your garden.

Denise, Sea of Tranquility really flattened out after being so reflexed yesterday. Beautiful!

John, that's a beautiful specimen of Heaven Scent--we don't get to see that enough.
Chris, Magic Crystal is indeed beautiful. I hope to see mine looking as good as yours and Darren's some day.
I have been fighting what I presume to be thrips--lots of dropped buds and "scratches" on those blooms that do open. I sprayed everything with Spinosad a week ago and again yesterday. I'll hit them one more time in a few days and hope that clears it up.
A nice Acapulco Gold today; also City Slicker.

Denise I'm loving those blooms.  Coincidentally my SOT decided to finally bloom on the same day.  I waited till today to take the pic as my experience with it has been day 2 it looks the best but currently it is too hot here and it got sun blasted.

Erny I hear you concerning the thrips...I haven't had them hang on this long into the season.  As soon as it cools down some I will spray again which would be my 2nd round.  I just hate using them pesticides but this year they are stronger than last...

 Vin Electrique has been such a steady bloomer with such a unique coloring style!

Beauties everywhere!

Doll- I know, SoT flattened out a ton! My daughter almost didn't believe that it was the same flower! Darren, mine got pretty sunblasted today too, even though it's in mostly shade. It's been so hot!!!

I think some of my plants have had about enough of this heat wave. Simple Pleasures has dropped a ton of buds...I don't even want to know how many. I finally thought to bring my larger plants that I keep in almost full sun into the shade today, including SP. Hope I don't lose any more buds! Ugh!

Here are some blooms from today...sorta shabby, especially Midsummer Night...she does not like the heat. I must say High Voltage seems to handle it the best.
