Cosmic Gold putting out it's best blooms for me to date. Large and perfect with some very nice depth of color this time of year. Finally some color in that planter.

John, beautiful colors on Black Dragon and Cindy's Heart. They seem tobe doing well despite the lower night temps.
Chris, what a surprise with Fly me to the Moon. Great colors on Janys.
Daily rains here recently are beating up many of the flowers but here are a few presentable ones from today.
Winter Lights
Silver Dragon--this has been a prolific bloomer lately.
Ruby Tuesday
Cherry Blue
Magic Crystal

John all of your blooms are just gorgeous and of course that Black Dragon is just amazing. Always a stunner when that one blooms. Your plants look like they're doing quite well and the forecast for this week for you looks pretty nice!
Chris that FMTTM is just insane. Again my brain could never have imagined such colors together - absolutely brilliant. And your Janys is looking mighty pretty too - love those colors!
Erny your Ruby Tuesday is the best one I've seen yet with that killer depth of color - for the purple/magenta pigmented blooms I think that the cold temps really work to their advantage. Same goes for your Magic Crystal - I just love that one to death. My MC plant looks like it is just getting back on it's happy feet since my vacation back in October. I guess it was under watered like many others while gone.
I went around all my plants the last two days and collected/picked off all rotting dead buds and the like to make sure my plants didn't get anything nasty growing on them. With the rain I had a few spent blooms that fell onto lower leaves and with the cold and wet conditions it just immediately started making holes in those leaves below as they quickly decayed. Yuck!
Insane Rodeo Drive bloom today - the right colors that love this weather. That eye is so shiny and almost black and so big. Some just opened shots and sunset shots to see the color change.

Darren, great pics as always. Rodeo Drive and T. Antique Purple are just off the charts. It is fascinating to follow the seasonal color changes. Many cvs seem to revert toward a somewhat bland red type while other such as your Rodeo Drive and my Ruby Tuesday show more atypical new color patterns. I don't have enough botanical knowledge to understand what drives the seasonal changes. Perhaps Chris or Charlie could shed some light on that subject.

First bloom on one of my CH seedlings. I like the color but it was only about 5-6 inches.
