Blooms for last wkend in April

K I just have a few.

Peach capitalio

Red El Capitalio

Ocean Spray, I love this one because it stays open for 2 days.

Mrs. Jimmy Spangler

And a Lowe's no id that I think is very pretty.

We had a hard freeze a couple of weeks ago and I have a lot of yellow leaves. So need to go out and work on that. lol

I can only add one. My Tangerine Dreams opened a bloom in the basement today. With nothing else blooming around here, it as kind of nice to see color. She didn't bloom anything like she did last summer.

That's ok Brugie. Spring is a'coming. Though we're getting a cold front tomorrow dropping the temp down into the 40's. It was around 80 today. But then that's Texas, if you don't like the weather just wait a minute and it'll change. lol

Pretty pics, Anne. I love those El Caps :-)

Brugie, how nice to see Tangerine Dream. Mine is currently just a pruned stick - I'm really hoping it starts to get some nodes soon or I'll be forced to order another one - I just love the flower :-)

I've got a few pretties to share this weekend too! First is the lovely and prolific Key Largo.

Here's Moonlight Madness in So Cal. Not nearly as pretty picture as the one C-Squared took though.

Had my first two blooms on Nightmare, one opened yesterday and one today - I like it!

This is my first bloom on Fragile Moments for the season, although the plant is just loaded with buds about to open - I'm excited :-)

Although it's fun to have new blooms on new plants, sometimes it's just as exciting to see these first of the season blooms on plants you've had a while. Boy did I miss those beautiful colors over the winter ;-)

Here's Big Easy.

Make sure to wear sunglasses when looking at this super hot pink, Young at Heart.

Today there were two Purple Magic blooms that looked just like this.

Another beauty from the Paint Pot blooming machine.

Here's the bright colored version of Allure, taken in the morning before any color-fade.

Identical twins on Fabulous.

And, last but certainly not least for this weekend, is DuPont's Voodoo Doll - she's a real looker!

Hope your weekend was wonderful :-)

I love those pinks.

Karen,
love them all. Allure, as usual, is my fav.

I have a few browns today.

KOD

Black Jack

Black Voodoo

Etouffe

Montserrat

VoodooMagic

Karen I love your fragile moments. Cat, I'm not into the browns; however, vodoo magic is a winner.

Just gorgeous, Cat - every single one, you know how I love the browns!!

My Etouffe is going to have two blooms open today, and will be a first time bloomer. I sure hope they are as pretty as your picture!!!

AuntAnne - that Lowe's noID looks a lot like my own Cairo Peach - sometimes called Cairo Apricot, too (see http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/161262/ and http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=4077323)

I don't know, the ones that you've shown seem darker than mine. The camera got a very true color picture of it.

Anne

Ok, well just an idea! :) Mine do sometimes look that lightly colored, especially in the cooler temps.

Well, after waiting a full year, my "Erin Rachel" finally opened today. Only...it wasn't! It was "Sunshowers". Very pretty, but totally unexpected, lol!

I'll keep an eye on it as summer gets here. It has been very cool and windy here.
