Great shots, everyone! Erny, I really enjoy your Voodoo Magic blooms.
I had some more blooms today after I posted my others. A first time bloom for me from Sizzle. A funky looking Bonnie Lass and a High Voltage.

No takers so far on the trivia question: what is the origin of the name Me Oh My Oh?
Hint: Fans of classic country music should be able to identify the song and artist.

Insane blooms everyone!!!
Denise that Sizzle is out of this world - I hope mine can get that orange edging. Also love love love your Prosperity
John beautiful bloom as always!
Erny your blooms are looking the best I've seen yet. That Burnt Saffron should be illegal it is so dark! LL blooms are so amazing and the banksia is a trip - so different.
Len I'm glad you like the grass shots. Very nice lawn by the way - clean and monoculture with no intrusive grasses in that shot. Plus the dark color of grass makes for a nice background to contrast with the bright colors of the blooms. Now you have to take them inside and find the right vases and such to enjoy indoors which they will last a little longer too!

Darren, it looks like it won't be long before you have a solid hedge in the front yard.
First blooms today on Sizzle and Gentle on My Mind. Also Silver Dragon, Old Spice, Ay Caramba, and Really Red (day 2).

I cant wait for Slapstick and Vin Electric to flower after looking at the shots here.

Hi Len, I think I had that same stuff too up until last year. I used Turflon and it worked great to pretty much get rid of it. I have some residual spots that still try to grow but once sprayed it dies after about 3 weeks. My lawn is Marathon II in case that helps at all. Farmer D |

Turflon Ester will ony prevent the spread. Once in the lawn it must be killed with a herbicide. It is a serious pest once it spreads. My gardener brought mine in with poor sanitary practices.
