Spring 2012 to Summer
Karen and anyone else that have Sears Tower, how tall did it get this season ? I will be posting some more pics in the morning. Lot going on right now.
Mike, my Sears Tower is not quite finished getting its full height for this year, I think. It has not started blooming yet. I will try and remember to measure it tomorrow and let you know.
I posted some more pics tonight and yesterday over at this thread: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1269619/

Elma Tipton is very pretty!!! Sure like your brick covered area. Very nice!!!
Hemlady, that was a well long before we got here. I wanted to explore using it for the garden but DW said NO WAY ! End of story! Ha, Ha !
A well, wow, that sure is different. I like it!!!
Im in love with Elma. What a treat to get in her triplicate. Great shape.
Mike, I love ELMA TIPTON and INIMITABLE. Also FRANCIS OF ASSISI and RED SUSPENDERS. Too bad DW is opposed to you using that well. I would have said go for it.
Karen
Beautiful blooms Mike!
Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Mike
Bryan Cook Memorial - Love the rain
Francis Of Assisi - Loving the rain also.
Apricot Sparkles - still going.
Last Snowflake - The rain washed out the ffo the day before.
Frans Hals
Yazoo Jim Terry - one of his many faces.
Love that Apricot Sparkles and the Hibiscus.
Very Nice Mike.
Karen, I know for a fact that I got this one from you. It only have one scape. This one scape is packing a wallop. Seven way branching with a terminal "W" and a prolif to boot. The name......
Autumn King
Prolif close-up
Big Snowbird have four prolifs on two scapes. As far as my scape count is going up to now, BS is tops with 41 and still blooming.
Nice, Mike! That's outstanding! I need to move mine, as it's not doing so well where it's at. Getting kind of crowded out by other, bigger ones. It needs more room for itself. I moved my BS a few years ago, and it's not doing as well as it was in its previous location. Might have to move it again.

I like Carmen Renee, such a delicate color.
Very nice Mike. I like VF
I love VF! Gorgeous! Autumn King is looking great. I know it's not the most fantastic looking flower compared to what's out there now, but I got it for the fact that it's tall and blooms very late. It's also an heirloom variety from 1950.
Karen
Mike, it looks like you have 2 different pics of Autumn King - one red and one yellow. ???
That red Autumn King looks like a Hibiscus to me. I think he is just showing the bud stalk with the branching in that pic.
Hemlady is correct!!
Oh, I see what you mean about Autumn King! I am looking more and more for the tall, well branched cultivars.
I think clumps of the plainer flowers are very important for providing color mass. Too much "fancy" can be overwhelming!
Smoky Mountain Autumn - dbl
SMA - single
Boundless Beauty - still going on original scapes with rebloom to come.
All are lovely Mike.
Boundless Beauty is a beauty indeed!!!!
Hemlady it changes its form from time to time. It does increase well compared to Elma Tipton. Speaking of ET as she relates in my garden. I would have to say that 80% of the time there is no VISIBLE stigma. Ouch!!!

Mapping Carolina is like that Mike. About the first 3 to 4 days of blooms none of the flowers have stigmas.

Mike are your lilys in REBLOOM because you are cooler where you are? Mine haven't even set new scapes for reblooms!
It has been so hot here, I really don't expect many of them to rebloom at all.
I am surprised though about Walter's Tango and Sunrise, Sunset Beautiful. They are just a few days away from being 1 year old and I have had 17 blooms on SSB and 17 blooms on WT also!
Here is #17 on SSB
l2le, rebloom is a crap shoot in our climate on most rebloomers. It is hot here also. 93* today. Seventies are expected for a few days starting Thursday. The consistent rebloomers are some of the ones I listed here.http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=9150083
