Just a few here in good old Southeast Texas to start the week
First is a "Area 51" like I have seen no other. This decided to show up with 7 petals. There is 1 on the underside.
Blooms for the week of 3-17 to 3-23
A Pair of BlackJacks
A Pair of Irish Spring's
Eye Shadow
Kattie Jones
Etoufee'
Mysteria
Fire Light
Painted Desert
New Years Day
NIce job of growing these, Robert. I especially like the greens though IRish Spring and Kattie J will be much greener in hot weather for you. Area 51 we named for that New Mexico alien "landing" site, and there's no tellin' what it might show you from that odd zone.
;-)
Here's my prettiest bloom on a great bloom day here in SE TX. We wanted to name it for our first grandchild born a year ago, but our daughter said "er . . um . . that's kind of an Old Lady Bloom, Dad." So Susan and I named it Unforgettable, and we'll offer it to Hines Hort for patent this year . . great grower and bloomer.
Kids! Go figger!
Barry
Another nice one today.
Fiery Furnace, rights assigned to Matt.
Barry

Barry
amanda, we've got to stop meeting like this . .
;-)
ONe more today: Gothic Romance, can be more purple, but still nice today, and a very good bloomer . .
Peace,
Barry
I know! I decided to stop for a while and wait until you were through! Ha! Lots of gorgeous blooms!!!
Ooh...Fiery Furnace is going on my wish list right next to Stuffed Jalapeno! Matt better get busy propagating!
Robert--I love Kattie Jones and Eye Shadow...those are both gorgeous!
Robert,
I am still asking myself why I did not get a Kattie Jones! Can you put one aside for me and I will buy when tax relief check comes in?
Also, your Etoufee (my very fav hib) is outstandingly beautiful. Also, Area 51 and New Years day are knockouts.
Barry,
Why is Matt making us wait for Fiery Furnace? (lol) Avant Garden and Unforgettable are also quite beautiful. But, alas, I will never see an Unforgettable :(
Cat - you might! If Hines picks it up, it should be available in a few years at our Home Depots. In which case, I can pick one up for you and ship it. :)
Amanda, Have I told you I wuv you?!?
Here are mine for today:
Amazon Queen
Bold Idea.
I love this flower. Yesterday it was bright red. Today it is a deep purple wine. Beautiful.
Mon Cher
Tigers Eye.
This one makes me feel rich, because it looks so much like silver and gold.
Tropicana
In all its full glory. This is how she looked at Matts, and I am so glad she is finally looking this way for me :)
White Diamonds
I wasn't sure if I liked this one. The fall colors were kind of boring. But her spring colors are knockouts! The pic doesn't really show the beauty. She is deep blue with olive edges and white middle petals. Spectacular.
Cat - It's no problem! In fact, I need to make a run here in about a month or so and see what they're offereing of Barry's. I'll let you guys know! They shouldn't be anything that Matt or Robert sell. :)
They are ALL stunning, you guys and gals cease to amaze me!!
You guys are just killing me with these amazing blooms!!! White Diamonds from Cat, and Robert Area 51 is awesome!
And Barry, I love the color on Wisdom :-)
karen
I actually have a pic to share!!! This is from a couple days ago, and is a shot of Cajun Moon twins. Thanks to the terrific Robert for such beautiful, perfectly packaged plants :-)
Karen -
He does take extreme care when shiping them, doesn't he? And you can tell he takes good care of his plants, as well. I just got this same plant from him earlier this month (Cajun Moon) and my blooms are identical to yours!! Aren't they fabulous?
Karen,
Gorgeous!
Very Nice Blooms everyone.
Karen it's good to see you posting! And Beautiful Twins!!! It will bloom large doubles also.
Robert
I'm doing a late posting to this week's thread ... this is my very first Nightrunner!!!
WooHoo, it's awesome! Good work.
Absolutely Beautiful!!!
