Hineni, your Salvadore is beautiful. Is it just me, or do you think the name is a play on Salvadore Dali? Or is that just too obvious. Lovely, lovely colors.

I have some roses that I am trying to salvage that were here when we moved here. They are all blooming beautifully but the foliage is sad still. Some dahlias are blooming, and mums that I transplanted and rooted last year have buds about to burst open. But probably the biggest surprise when I came home today when I rounded the corner to the side driveway was the Cosmos! These are the only thing I had any luck with from seeds. I wasn't really happy with them during the summer; they looked very gangly. But the cooler weather seems to suit them. Their little purple faces seem so happy on top of those really tall stems!
