LBJ, I posted the ultimate "low-tech" time lapse of Hollywood Starlet on 11-4 and then day 2 on 11-5. Old Spice taken in early morning just after opening and then later in the day.
Also Angel's Wings and Electric Orange.

Erny I just love that Palm Springs - it is amazing how are blooms are looking identical for the most part during the course of the year. It really helps me gauge if what I am doing is working or not.
I forgot to post a pic of Sun Showers today - every time I see your monster bush I keep rethinking where to plant mine. My neighbor has some really ugly cactus that borders my front planter so this might be the perfect place to plant it. It is a really sunny spot with afternoon sun but after seeing yours' in person I know it can tolerate a lot including that spot. Did you prune it a lot in the beginning and/or stake it? Mine is rather sprawly but it is still a youngin.
Chris great to see Misfire doing well. I'm sure you're having a lot of fun cross pollinating the blooms with all sorts of cvs. That is a parent of so many many many children already...even though that one was grafted it just seems like a really strong one.

Darren, I really like Palm Springs as well. Of course I had to get it after looking at so many pictures of yours. I would also reiterate something you have pointed out before--it also forms a great bush with really distinctive foliage.
My large Sun Shower hasn't required much attention. I never had to stake it and the only pruning I have done was taking off some of the lower branches last year.

Erny I'll have to post some pics of my PS bush. It is around 6 feet tall now and has branched out very nicely (planted 04/2010 as a 4"). As with most of my other plants I think I was under watering her for most of the summer so looking a bit sparse still but once it gets lush it is going to be out of this world. Love those jagged edged, pointy leaves - very distinctive. My Bon Temps has leaves similar to this but with a very dark green hue which I like enormously.

Great day for bush shots as it is cloudy with some very light rain.
