Oh these are wonderful. I am so incredibly jealous at the moment, LOL!!! Ok so now my wish list has grown to include Nebel's Rainbow and Tahitian Sunset. I am sure that my husband will thank you later. Off to stare at my yard and imagine that things are blooming!!

Ventura, United States(Zone 10b)

LOL, Kauai, and thanks! NR and TS are both great for bloom size and color, but I have to admit that the fragrance isn't great on either one of them. I'm a big fragrance buff, and so these wouldn't make my top ten, but if you don't mind their weak fragrance, go for it! I got both of those as grafted plants from Florida Colors: http://www.floridacolors.com/

Leander, TX(Zone 8b)

I just love the coloring on those two!! We have Celadine, Candy Stripe, Duke and a mystery stick at the moment!!

Plumiedelphia, PA(Zone 7a)

Nice show Clare!!
Thank you for it. ;)
Micah and I discussed injecting a celadine with infected CB latex from a PV and this is what happened. Shell be open tomorrow.

Oh, my, Michael! I'm not big on color breaks, and I don't want any virused plants in my garden, but I have to say that that flower is going to be just gorgeous. You may have a very valuable plant on your hands there. You can probably sell a cutting of it for a fortune if you wish. Very interesting! Please post when it opens.

Kauai, those are good ones!

Knoxville, TN(Zone 7a)

Beautiful blooms, Clare!!!

Cocoa, FL

Clare you have such beautiful flowers.
If I had all of those blooms I think I would just sit for hours looking at them.
Thank you so much for the pictures :)

Campbell River, BC(Zone 8a)

You have a beautiful garden Clare. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. I can't believe how many flowers your Ecuador Pink and Pink Beauty brugmansias have. I ove the colour of your Passiflora macrocarpa. A friend has given me some cuttings of a few different passifloras this year. I can hardly wait to get some blooms. I had to go out and buy a Lavender Lady with buds to keep me going until then.

Thanks, Nat and Bunnies!

Thanks, Sandy! I love Passifloras too -- especially the fragrant ones. Lavender Lady isn't fragrant, but I love that one too because of the lovely colors of the flowers. Here's my Passiflora alata 'Ruby Glow' that is starting to flower now.
