Spot on, Deb. Porcelain Doll can show this type of foliage inherited from Key Lime Pie. My observation of the Fascinating Foliage series and others like Porcelain Doll is that the leaves will vary a lot. There are a couple, Jungle Fire comes to mind, that have an even more extreme version of these leaves and show them more consistently. Time will tell with these new varieties.

Does anybody recognize this one? Lots of talk about it as a seedling and the forum came up with the name of Summer Shore. It sold out very quickly back in January but there are some more 6 inch pots of it that will be ready soon. Below is a bloom close-up and a photo of it on its bush, an FF type. Flower size 7 inches yesterday.

I keep missing out on this one, and James Bond. Though with this look it might be too similar to Sea of Tranquility, which I have. How would you compare these two? |

They are similar. Sea of Tranquility reflexes more often than Summer Shore which tends to remain flat. Some people like the reflex look while others do not. Sea of Tranquility changes color after opening to that brighter yellow edge which does not happen with Summer Shore. Sea of Tranquility also has a great dark look on cooler overcast days.
I like them both and find them unique enough to want to keep both around..
James Bond impressed me enough this spring to hoard the remaining plants so that we can offer more of it next year. I really like its opening colors which can be fantastic, and find the second day colors only so-so. Nice big flower, too.

Thanks Charlie for that explaination, Summer Shore with that orange edge is hard to beat! Plus it has a nice bush and those nightrunner genes.
James Bond is great! I really like those pics Louis posted.
Well I am sure I usually only get to see the cool bright color blooms up here. It is a almost July and the high temperature for today is 60, Plants outside look fine, but aren't going to grow too fast in this weather.

Lynette your blooms are awesome. The colors are really intense and pretty. Your Valentines Day is really unique, in fact I'm wondering if it is VD? Those colors are amazing, they are day glow and so bright. I've never seen a VD like that! My Bridal Path is probably the slowest of all my plants as far as coming back from winter. I did move it once during winter to make way for more cvs so I'm sure that set it back a lot unfortunately. Extra TLC for it... Sunrise Dance  Acapulco Gold  Farmer D |
