Erny very nice blooms - I am going crazy over CA Beauty, Bridal Path and especially Prosperity. I really miss mine and it is struggling to start up again. This heat has been tough to say the least but finally today more normal temps.
Chris that is awesome news! Man that bloom is so unique and sophisticated. That cutting looks really strong too - congrats!
John your Rainbow Sherbet is amazing! The color and form are perfect - really a pure joy to view.
Today started off in super fab shape with amazing Tahitian Lavender Mist triplets. It's good to see this plant happy and growing again...

Best bloom by Exuberance since it's replanting - very nice and wow the plant is really coming back as a very full bush. I'll get a pic of it soon posted.

This is the first time I have been able to capture the true subtle beauty of Romeo in a photo.
Also Creole Belle, Vin Beaujolais, and Old Spice.

John I agree those TLM blooms are pretty awesome and there is a fair amount of variability in each bloom so you never quite know what look you're going to get with each bloom. Your Lemon Life is just gorgeous - I love that ringed eye zone with white rays. Fun to see that with Rise and Shine.
Erny your blooms are getting better by the week! That Slapstick is looking outrageous with what looks like an eye and two rings of color as well. And Vin Beaujolais is looking fierce! I hope mine can one day achieve that level of performance...great blooms all around!
Well sometimes you get your first really nice bloom after a long stretch of disappointing ones as a newer plant struggles to get going which can take years sometimes. It's like getting your first bloom ever and it is really exciting and satisfying. Today that is how I feel with Raging Bull. It has not been happy at all in it's home for a little over a year until about a month ago when I realized that now it wants a lot of water all of a sudden. Very impressive - a commanding big bloom!

Erny very cool to see spot on Climax - this hot weather is definitely doing things...Sizzle today showed some spots too so very excited to see that one her.
We have confirmation that Tahitian Sunset Glory does have a sweet scent so that is really neat too - sweet & waxy but it is present none the less!
