I deadheaded more old blooms this morning. A lot of the plants are going south in a hurry, lots of brown foliage. I almost wish it was time to dig rather than seeing them go downhill. But, that's nature's way. Some plants that I thought were done for the year seem to be having a resurgence but with mis-shaped blooms and odd colors. Wyn's Sundazzler is 10"+. I wish it had bloomed a little earlier in the year. The top blooms on Ben Huston are between eight and nine feet in the air. I don't understand why, since it's planted in full sun. This Emory Paul just bloomed for the first time but is mis-shaped and not very attractive. Hopefully, next year will be a little kinder weather-wise.

1) Ben Huston
2) Wyn's Sundazzler
3) Pinelands Princess. Just started blooming again with some odd color patterns.
4) Emory Paul
5) Potluck. This little guy went from a "wild" patterned bloom to a solid color bloom.
