Charlie I'm happy to report that Acapulco Gold can regularly put out 10"+ blooms which is what mine is doing now. Just huge and bright as beacons.

Both Muy Caliente and my seedling put out larger size blooms today so progress on that front as well...

So I dug down in this planter on Saturday and around 6" down it was bone dry again. This would explain why the plants here are thinning out slowly and not growing much except Cosmic Gold. Now that I am remedying the situation I can't wait to see what she does going forward.

Really impressed at the pics I've seen here. Some beautiful flowers.
Here are some of today's blooms. There were more, but couldn't get a good angle to photograph them.

We have some blooms to share with you today, and also a bud forming on Double Cappuccino. Hopefully in the next couple of days it will bloom.

Great pictures everyone. It is interesting to see how different some of the flowers look in different parts of the country. I presume it is related to differences in weather patterns at least in part.
First bloom on Tiger Cub today. Also Attitude of Gratitude, Sea Spray, and Palm Springs.

Happy-Go-Lucky is aptly named--it just looks cheerful and bright. Also Vin Beaujolais, Rainbow Christie.

Anyone who doesn't have Daisy Mae is missing out. Almost all of my plants go through cycles of blooming followed by weeks or months of very little or no bloom production. Daisy Mae is the conspicuous exception. It always has 5-10 blooms and never seems to take a break. The flowers are always perfectly formed and presented for maximum visibility. They are large and vibrantly colored. What more could one ask of a cv?

Two different looks on Heartbreak Hotel today. The leaves in the second photo aren't fascinating foliage--they are on a plumeria next to HH. Also California Beauty, Peanut Butter, and Climax.

I agree Erny. It has been a strange summer here in West Virginia. It has been very cool compared to previous years, and it shows in the blooms. My Glitz and Glitter was less glitzy and glittery than yours. And my Burnt Saffron looks so different around the edges than other blooms I have seen posted. That's why I enjoy this part of the forum so much! It's cool to see how different the blooms can be in different environments.  |
