Thanks Dave,

I work hard at it. It is usually a pleasure and a nice break from the day to day grind!

Robert

Robert - while all are beautiful, that Nightrunner is stunning!! I can't wait for mine to bounce back and look like that!

Hi Amanda,

Thanks Amanda,
I am sure it will in no time. This little cold snap did stunt some of the blooms. You've got a very mature plant. I've had this one since it was about 6" tall and shaped it to grow lower. I have another that I have shaped to be upright and it is budding well. I guess at the time I had too much time on my hands and now I do not have enough hands for the little time I have LOL

Robert

Robert, all of your flowers are wonderful, but Area 51 does it for me. I really need that plant! Lol.

Tussee

Robert, we don't often enough do what you did, showing the whole plant with buds and blooms. I know, I know, the flowers are so special . . but I love seeing the healthy blooming plants sometimes too. I need to take some of those shots and post them. BTW, you are growing Texas Aggie way better than I ever did!
thanks
Barry

attached . . Holy Guacamole getting greener. Sorry, Anne.
;-)

edit: Well, looking at the image online, I guess it is more like the color of guacamole left overnight in the bowl you should have washed . .

Beautiful pictures, Robert!! Area 51 is super cool, but I think I've got to go with Nightrunner for my today's favorite.

Barry, Holy Guacamole is really pretty (that is if I don't think about crusty left-out guac - ewwwww!)

Great blooms and healthy plants. I like Grand Slam, Bob has many seedlings of big quality.
Robert, what are those white little stones in the top of the pots of Texas Aggie and June's Dragon, perlite?

Barry, georgeous bloom, which is the cross?

Regards

Carlos

Rob, your plants are looking ridiculously healthy. Amazing what a little extra attention can do for these hybrids!

Thanks, Carlos.
HOly Guacamole = Remembrance x Elizabeth Carlson
The latter is a fine pink and white out of Miss Liberty x Dorothy Wolfe, a double yellow.

Hi All,

Thanks for the compliments,

Barry I appreciate the compliment on Texas Aggie. It is growing well now. I am sure you have seen enough of these to know what you are talking about since you did create it :-) You are TOO KIND!!!

Robert,
Thanks for the compliment. The funny thing is, it is rediculious how much time I have to put into them. I drip 100 to 1 with 20-10-20 and other essentials just as in the greenhouses with each watering, and prune and pinch as much as possible. I really would like for you to post a thread about seedling pinching here on DG like your grandpa did on THML. It shows what a difference a little extra time and care will do for the exotics and is would help others learn about the concept. (Hint Hint) LOL

Carlos
Grand slam has turned into a favorite of mine with it's versitility in the blooms. You never know what to expect. Bob has some beauties and hopefully I can get more. The white in the pots are in fact Perlite.

Take care and everyone enjoy their blooms. I know I am!!! ;-)

Robert

P.S. Here is a pic of Jayella I cant wait to see bloom. It is a pic I borrowed but I love it and just can't wait to compare it!!! But I just have too :-( as is sometimes you just can't rush mother nature as much as we try!!!
