Kerry, your WD pics really make me want one. That's one gorgeous looking bloom!! How is this one different from the ones you got before? Is this a new plant?

Very nice, Kerry. The Wild Dream x Heartbreak Hotel seedlings from your seeds are growing happily in 2 gallon pots. No blooms yet but it shouldn't be too much longer!

Lots of photos over the weekend but only just started transferring them from the camera. Here are 2 rare ones.

Crinkle In Time - original seedling blooming again after growing back from pruning for cuttings

Creme de Cacao x Night Runner - new seedling first blooms from a cross that could provide some good colors, this shows a first day and a second day flower.

Really cool seedling Charlie,  I cant wait to see what HBH x WD seedlings look like.  Could be some real cool patterning. Finally have some blooms to share.  Another perfect Dragon's Heart bloom.  I think this plant would be an excellent indoor plant, if grown outside I think this is one that does best with more shade.  The flowers blacken badly in full sun.

Here is Bonnie Lass, first bloom this year!  Ive only had cool weather blooms in the winter with this one.  Wow what a fancy bloom it is in warm weather.  It has a metallic eye that is hard to capture Smiley

Fantastic, Chris! I've been hoping to see some photos from the many Bonnie Lass plants sent out this past year and yours is quite a beauty! I'm glad Dragon's Heart is coming in nice and dark the way you are growing it now.

Lynette, can you show them larger, maybe around 600 on the longest side?

My friend gave me a cutting of what she thought was Acadian Spring. Somewhere she must have gotten her wood mixed up and I received Magic Moments instead Smiley It's my first bloom, not very big (maybe 7") but once she gets going and the temps get out of the low 70s, I'm looking forward to seeing it in all its glory.

That is a beautiful picture of Magic Moments. Since I didn't have any doubles I almost ordered Magic Moments the other day but went with Fat Actress instead.

After almost a 3 week dry-spell, I got a beautiful Cindy's Heart bloom.  The Japanese Beetle thought so too!  Angry  I also got my red Hardy to bloom.  Finally after growing and growing and growing.... it is almost 7' tall!!  Does anyone know the name of it?  I think maybe fireball?  Or Lord Baltimore??
