Here are a few of my beauties i actually got to take pics of before they got pounded by the rain. We have had our share but the hibbies are loving it.

Irish Spring
Art Colony

Kiss of Death

Sun Chaser (I love this one)
Merci Becoupe
Velvet Cloud
Mango Moon
Iced Peach
Gabriel
Signature Pink
And Last but not least
Rum Runner
Wow, awesome blooms!
I guess I'm craving some fruit because all of the sudden
I need some strawberries, peaches and mangoes.
:~)
LOL, I think I need some Culture Shock myself. Big sigh.......so many pretty ones.
I am still so envious that you can get those doubles to do so well in this heat.
Well, if 22 pictures are few blooms I don't know how many you will send when the subject were "some blooms" or "lot of blooms". Irish Spring is one I have to get. It gives great results as father.
I also got some blooms on Fifth Dimension.
Regards
Carlos
I like Irish Spring, the rest are nice too! Good collection.
Kyle :-)
Thanks Dave and Alice,
It has been like a steamroom here today. I finally had to leave the outdoors and come in for a while. Not before taking a couple of shots.
My "Whirlygig" decided to give me a triple play today with a bundle of petaloids on each. This is rare for me!
Thanks Carlos and Kyle,
Irish spring came out with petaloids on 1 of the blooms today. Carlos your 5th dimensionn takes on a different look than mine. Very pretty!

Voodoo magic had several but I caught 2 of the best
a pair of Night Runners
Pizonne - how beautiful - I agree Carlos - that's a lot of hibbies! :) After seeing the pictures - it's easy to understand why we are all addicted! LOVE Night Runner & Whirligig - I got a 'baby' night runner - don't expect a bloom until next year and I took too long to order Whirligig so it's out of stock so seeing your blooms & plant is a special treat! Carlos - love your 5th D plant! Got my first morning light bloom this weekend.
Rosalind was blooming too - sorry the pict are a bit blurry (too many buttons etc. on my dh camera - I need to get a simple point & click one!!) :)
Heavy Metal was blooming this weekend with his summer spots. I was actually getting a picture of my other basket but he kept peeking into the picture so I figured why not get him into the picture too? :)
I have a little pink hibbie that just loves her spot in the garden - gave a nice accent to Morning light too.
And finally my newest addition Lost Treasure who gave me a bloom the day after receiving it - Love Matt's plants - I think his 6" plants now look like mini trees - I'm not complaining though - it had about a dozen or more buds on it! Poor thing it's a bit beaten from the rain that we seem to be having all the time - still pretty though...
OK, while I'm not as good as Robert .. I do have 2 that I was able to snap photos of today. :)
First up is my Schizo.
Second is Voodoo Magic, I believe, opening up this morning.
This is my VM at the end of the day yesterday. Looks like something got hungry and ate some of the petals. :(
swoon!! be still my heart!!
How can you have so many different plants?
sorry about the muching Amanda!
Susan
=^..^=
Wow guys, excellent blooms - and so many different ones!!
Robert, I'm going to have to go with your Culture Shock, Goddess (love the subtle pink) and Iced Peach. And then there is my perennial favorite, Night Runner!
Ultimateshopper, really lovely pics of your garden locations - love that little flower bowl with the coleus!
Amanda, great to see you posting again! Gotta go with that Schizo, always such a pretty bloom - why don't I have that one??
