Thanks Deb, I like this one alot too. It wasnt one that I was expecting from this cross, but I like the rings of color. It the yellow tinged edge fades to pure white later in the day.
Also Fly me to the moon, never fails to please.

Chris, mega-dittoes on the Baby Mia seedling. Always a thrill to see Fly Me to the Moon as well.

Chris I ditto the ditto on your Baby Mia seedling - really amazing colors. Lots of potential on that one for sure! Also that is totally fascinating about the parasitic wasp doing it's thing on the tomato worm. That is so unexpected and delightful as I used to be plagued every summer by the green hookworm growing. I'll have to see if that is fatal for it and check out your link.
Paul great blooms and I really like your Chariots of Fire twins - that cv can really be an ultra bloomer!
That really nice day 2 bloom of Magic Crystal has made it to day 3 which is impressive for this time of year...

Its nice to see Ragin' Bull start blooming for you, Farmer D! Lots of great photos from everyone.
Below are a few greenhouse photos taken lately.
Too Hot To Handle - Creme de Cacao offspring with better color
Blushing Maiden - beautiful full size bloom
Wild Blue Yonder - nice purple/blue similar to Deep Purple
Cloud Soft - one of my favorite light pinks, 7-8 inch flowers
Corazon - heavy textured red and white
Red Flair - offspring of Love Story with a more upright bush, excellent double

Pretty blooms Paul, John and Kerry. Seems like this time of year is the best now for the blooms as Charlie stated recently, definitely showing here!
Well I have a new top 5 favorite bloom as of today. When my Meteor Shower first bloomed I was somewhat disappointed with the bloom as it was regular sized and looked a lot like some of my other blooms I already have. Well this plant has regrouped (along with most of my others) and is now gone to the next level. Today's bloom was a knockout and pretty big too. Actually there are twins but one is in the sun so I'll wait to shoot that one later today.
I still see it is available in today's store update along with Miss Congeniality which is another amazing one. That plant is vigorous and boy does it bloom!

Every time Magic Crystal blooms I am amazed. The quality of blooms as well as the sheer consistency of blooms is hard to match. Whenever I post it's pic on facebook people really go crazy over it too. I see it sold out super fast today which is the way it should be for this one. Twins today.
