Hi 'inthegarden' in Beaumont, Tx. Ramona? I think I've planted Ramona somewhere in the garden, for the name rings a bell. lol. Thanks for your compliment. I'll post an old pic. of BoW and Niobe together, and I'm hoping for an encore of last year's blooms. This year, with the exceptionally mild winter. Belle of Woking took off and left Niobe far behind on development for some reason. Niobe buds are there but still small.

Arlene, Nelly does have many Nelly wanna-be I think. I'll post what I believe is 'Firework'. To me 'Firework' look just like Nelly Moser, only a shade darker with the mauve pink bars on the petals.

I'll post one pic. at a time. DG hasn't allowed me to post multiple pics. lately, eventhough I've resized my photos....

So first is Belle of Woking with Niobe from year past.
