Patrick, congratulations on the successful rooting of Tigerama. I also love your Fly Me To The Moon photos.
John, really nice Rainbow Sherbert twins.
Darren, if your Summer Fun plant is struggling, the flowers sure don't show it. The Path continues to amaze and the color on your new Jolie bloom is gorgeous. Scintillating is still living up to its name.
First bloom on Kilimanjaro today. Also Swamp Music, Sea Spray, and Tahitian Sunset Splendor.

Vin Extraordinaire is a very prolific bloomer thus far and the colors are superb. Also Inner Compass, Dappled Shade, Secret Heart, and Gator Pride.

Erny your Kilimanjaro is very pretty and unique. Glad to see that one posted on the forum now. Rosalind and Sun Shower are bright as ever and that is great news on VE!
Some late day shots...I find the blooms I missed earlier.

Charlie I'm really glad I gave you a cutting of T Xenosphere as it is really growing on me (T Raspberry Star x T Imperial Mtn).
An interesting shot from FB of SOT & MBH

Darren, yes, I think T Xenosphere is one that is doing well so far. It joins the many varieties we now have that feature a gray/blue body surrounded by an orange to yellow edge. Most of our Moonstruck offspring are in this category and in fact around the world the many, many varieties that trace back to Fifth Dimension are in that group as well. That said, there are huge differences in the many varieties that fit this type, which is why we continue to be interested in them and to test them out. Not only subtleties of color but also growth habit and overall performance are important in deciding which of these to continue to propagate and which have only a short time in the sunlight of public exposure. Thank you for sharing this one.
Oh, and great photo of My Blue Heaven and Sea of Tranquility together!
Charlie

Erny, your Vin Extraordinaire pics have convinced me to get one as soon as it is available.
Darren, your Jolie bloom looks beautiful.

John, you will love Vin Extraordinaire. Mine was blooming when I got it a few months ago and it hasn't stopped. I really like the way your Rainbow Sherbert presents those flowers. My bush is so packed with large leaves that the flowers often get hidden inside or else pushed in by adjacent leaves so that they can't open fully.

Kilimanjaro which showed its first bloom yesterday looks a lot like Wild Grape which is high praise in my book. Not surprising since they share a common ancestor. But unlike WG which is usually spent by day 2, Kilimanjaro fades nicely to a pleasant blue-gray tone. Photos show the faded blooms next to one just opening. Other nice blooms today include Venetian Brick, Brassy Blonde, Tahitian Lovely, and Cinnamon Splendor.

Erny,
Great looking Zelma, glad it is looking great!
That Kilimanjaro is really impressive, I've had it on my wait list, I hope more will be available in the next year or so. I really hope I can get in I the first crop of that "Darkside of the moon" seedling Charlie showed. Really like the look of that one too.
