I borrowed a decent camera from my father and thought I'd show off some blooms...
First off Rob's Boolaroo
Showing off...
Lillian's Sparkler. Such a beauty...
Arapahoe. First blooms were dark crimson red. Followed by these much paler blooms. Probably because after it began to bloom, I put it on the coffee table for "fancy". Not very much light there.
Last one...B=Man's Cosimo. Check out that fantasy marking! EASY grower, this one.
How lovely! I just love to see everyone's photos because they are always much better than the photos on the nursery webs!
Truely beautiful PMcP
Great photos, and wonderful bloomers -- good growing!
Thank you all :)) Susan, that B-Man's Cosimo just grows like crazy. Big hairy leaves :) I have a leaf of B-Man's Allesio with babies right now. Hope that one is as cool...
Ohhh! Someone has some pretties!!! Love B-Man's Cosimo!!!
I'm going with your B-Man Comiso, too, Planti ! Not in FC. Wonder if it's registered in Canada? Good luck with your B-Man's Alessio. That one is a beauty also. Thanks for posting all your lovely plants.
Oh your blooms are beautiful. I love the Boolaro and Cosimo. thanks for sharing the pics with us.
I love to see pics of people av's blooming.

Beautiful Blooms Planti : )
I got the B-man's Cosimo (maybe I've got the spelling wrong?) from Allison. The leaves are easy to start...good for beginners, too, because the leaves are big enough to handle and it's not a fussy one. I've got a few babies going so remember this in the spring and I'll send them out!
Got a cold snap here...it's 19 degrees (F) this morning. But it sounds like there's bad weather all over the place!!
Lovely photos, P McP. I have Rob's Boolaroo too, and it is one of my favs. Love your B-Mans Cosimo! I have B-Mans Etna that hasn't bloomed for me yet, but seeing your Cosimo, it makes me so anxious.
Isn't it nasty out there this morning? Way too early to be this cold. Brrrrr....
I'm in eastern WA so you guys in BC get our weather but COLDER, right?!! It wouldn't be quite so hard if we could have led up to the cold...but it just turned all of a sudden. My furnace is blasting away...ouch!
The only B-Man's (Curcuruto) I have is B-Man's Irish Red. The FC photo doesn't show how nice this variety really is. Thanks, Planti. I now have B-Man's Comiso on my want list :-)
PMcP, I am just accross the border of Washington-BC, just north of Oroville, WA. You are about a 2 hour drive from here. Our temperature this morning is a crisp -7 Celsius or 19 Farenheit.

WOW Gorugous ! I can't beleive how your plants have grown and blooming ! I still go crazy everytime I see your Lillian's Sparkler ! B-Man's all ways my favorites too :))
Well grown THanks for sharing !
Thanks again everyone :) Violet-grower, I'd love to share a leaf or two of Lillian's Sparkler with you but she has to grow out a bit first. Maybe in the spring? You'll have to remind me though.
Allison~ Glad you got your computer hooked up. How's the new house?? Oh but I hate moving...even if it's just next door. Glad for you to see the fruits of your labors blooming at my house. I do so love that Lillian's Sparkler! It just blooms for weeks, then takes a little rest, then blooms some more. Plus, she looks great even not blooming. I think I"m getting buds on Designer Dress, too...wasn't that from you? You and Anna/Spyder have given me almost all my violets!!
