Deb that is such a happy Maui Masterpiece. Forget California Dreamin, I say keep going another 2500 miles west and a little south. Doll that Sunshower looks like a supernova exploding. Quite the fanfare of colors. Today is another wonderful Deep Waters with pastel like rainbow pattern Whoever named Sea of Tranquility really hit it right on. I didn't quite get the name until I saw this third day bloom and I'd swear that looks like the spot on the moon with the big crater and surrounding impact spray. I know this bloom has raspy edges but that grey/white is quite the site. Chariots of Fire is also a third dayer looking rather fresh still...     Farmer D |

Deb that is such a happy Maui Masterpiece. Forget California Dreamin, I say keep going another 2500 miles west and a little south. Darren – Good call! I was there briefly (once upon a time, a million years ago), and it made a lasting impression. I’m really liking “Sea of Tranquility” – I agree that day-three bloom looks like a lunar impact crater ( Tycho, actually) Beautiful blooms!  |

This is a special day for me as I only got one bloom out of this plant all of last year and it happened when I was out of town of course. This year looks much different as this plant is loaded with buds. Flickering Flame     Farmer D |

Farmer D, great pics as usual. Flickering Flame can be slow to get blooming but once it does start it's good. Love that Sea of Tranquility photo.
BTW, thanks for starting all those cultivar topics. The original idea was for a topic to be started for each variety but I haven't been able to get them all done and am more than happy to get the help. In April and May there's little time to sit back and enjoy the flowers but later this summer I'll be able to post more photos and comments.
Doll, that is good to know that Compassion is holding its color in TX - it's a soft and pretty flower but I wouldn't want it to lose too much color or it would be washed out.

First time Tahitian Purple Splendor bloom...quite big at over 7". Chariots of Fire is really starting to ramp up the blooms, there are so many buds now I've lost count at over 30. Sea of Tranquility - the blooms are just so different and stunning. I'm absolutely loving this plant way more than I ever thought - 2nd day on bloom.       Farmer D |
