Living Legend with a profille shot to show how perfectly flat it sits atop its bush. Also Simple Pleasures and Black Dream.

Working today and Heavy Metal bloomed a nice big flower. Really brightens up the lab, don't you think?
Torch song looking fantastic, this one really shines in cooler weather.
Dolores, this is a large red Canadian CV. Unfortunately the bloom burns badly in full sun, but it does bloom well in indirect light, not direct sun needed. Hoping to use this one to develop some shade tolerant seedlings.

Chris, that's a really nice Heavy Metal bloom. I planted a lot of 6" and 4" plants in June and it's fun to patrol the garden a couple of times a day looking for new buds and first blooms. First blooms today on Palm Springs and Blue Ballerina. The last three are Winter Lights and Magic Crystal.

Burnt Saffron is rocketing up on my list of favorites. Its vivid colors catch your eye from a block away. Also Inner Compass in sun and shade, Hot Pepper, and Electric Orange.

Erny,
Your Burnt Saffron is fantastic, that one is one of my favorites. Wait till winter, you will get blooms with rings of yellow orange and red, though it is hard to beat those large burnt orange summer blooms.

Chris that is a text book gorgeous Heavy Metal bloom - so nice!
Geneva that Satsuma is perfect! I really love how you captured it opening up in all it's fresh glory...
Erny great blooms all around. You're right on about Burnt Saffron and boy what a treat to see a bush of Night Fire blooms. I'd bet there are very few others if any NFs like that around anywhere. And your Palm Springs is just awesome - the bush on that one is a killer too. If it never bloomed it would still be attractive.

Thanks geneva. I live in North Tustin, Orange County in southern California. The mild year round weather here allows us to grow tropical plants in the ground. For the markers go to Idealgardenmarkers.com. They provide a quality product and are very prompt in getting them out to you. You can select from various sizes, fonts, etc. I think you will be pleased with them.
Darren, thanks a lot for showing Venetian Brick and Summer Fun--two more I have to get now.
Geneva, in case you didn't know, looking at Darren's photos can end up costing you a lot of money. I'd estimate that half of my orders were stimulated by his pictures.
A final few from today: Love Story, Voodoo Magic, Saffron.
