Erny & Geneva you will be very happy when you get Scarlet Beauty.  I am glad my pics help influence your decision on this one.  In person it is really special - I recommend a shady spot for it as the sun will fade that velvety red pigmentation pretty quickly.

Today I had two brand new blooms! Very exciting.

Valentine's Day is gorgeous and I am very pleased with its first bloom for me.

The OTHER one though, has me completely puzzled!! Voo Doo Magic, which I bought from somewhere other than HVH during this past Winter bloomed for the first time (finally!) today. It looks terrible though! Is this even VDM?? I am so disappointed, especially after Erny's recent post with his beautiful VDM. Sad Is it possible something just went wrong with this one bloom? Any feedback is much appreciated!

Len, those are really nice pictures. Tangerine Dream and Pixie Prince are real standouts.
David, friends are taking a month long trip to Asia including a few days in Nha Trang. How can they contact you?

I have sent you an email Erny with all the details and will be delighted to meet them.

Wow Darren,

Your yard is looking so great, I am really loving Scarlet Beauty.  I hope she will be ready to take cuttings from soon Smiley

Denise, it looks like you have Sweet Pink.  It is a huge pink double when it gets larger, and can hang down like you are showing in your picture.  At least it looks like it was a good mistake Smiley  Sweet Pink's info here: http://www.hiddenvalleynaturearts.com/acatalog/sweetpink.htm

Great pics everyone!

Farmer D, loving the look of your Summer Fun today! I can't wait for mine to bloom again. And your Night Fire pic from yesterday is really stunning! I'm going to have to get that one!

I only had one bloom today, but it was a beauty. Here's my Scarlet Dragon.

Oh no Denise! It's a pretty flower, but I know I would be upset if I waited as long as you did for it to bloom only to get something completely different. I would definitely contact the seller of this one, and maybe you can get a replacement.

Very nice Scarlet Dragon, Paul. And Denise, excellent example of Valentine;s Day. That is one of those varieties that almost everyone likes and it shows even better in person than in photos. As for the other one, I think Chris is right, most likely it is Sweet Pink. That is a surprising mistake because Voodoo Magic has a unique look that a grower should see at a glance is or is not Voodoo Magic.

Well it looks like Chris and Charlie are right. Definitely looks like Sweet Pink, and I checked their store and that is one they sell. Sad That is definitely not one I would have ever picked out on my own. I am not drawn to such light colors. I guess it will probably grow on me as I do like large blooms and have been wanting to add a double to my collection. The plant is also very attractive. Which reminds me, I told someone a few days ago (can't remember who) that Voodoo has a beautiful bush...so I will have to take that back and say that SWEET PINK has a beautiful bush!!  Undecided I emailed the company and will look forward to what they have to say. Thanks for the input guys! Here are some pics as SWEET PINK opened up more later today.

Great photos Kristen! My last bloom of Creole Lady had petaloids too. I guess she likes to accessorize. Lol And your photo of My Blue Heaven is making me even more impatient for mine to start blooming!

Thanks Denise.  I thought it was funny that ours bloomed the same day.  Mine is only a baby and this is the 3rd bloom from her in 2 years. 
Paul, that's funny!  I like that, accessorize...  Well, even my seedlings (which I posted under Kristen's seedlings in the seedlings 2012 thread) are getting petaloids.  I wonder if it is the heat.  Voodoo Magic got one yesterday that was so big it ruined the flower.  As if the petal jumped from the flower to the pointy thingy... Sorry Charlie & Chris for the lack of scientific names... its really early...
