L@@KY-L@@KY! I'm getting more buds and blooms....group shot.
Buds & Blooms
from a trade over a year ago just now showing me buds Labeled Allegra Appalachian Trail
Champange Pink hasn't shown any more buds since the ones several weeks ago aborted but the foliage is almost as good as blooms. Being more careful on watering/fertilzing in hopes to push some more buds

Foxwood Trail...bloomed it's self silly back in late summer. Now it's just got a few blooms but showing more buds so non stop blooms since late summer and fast grower. At this rate I may be able to pot it up to a 5 inch basket by spring.
this little Optimara has gone blooming nutz
last but not least Allan's Fallen Angel. The one plant I had was looking pretty bad....always drooping,no new growth so I divided it into two plants and now both are looking great and this one is about to pop a bloom. The bud as a hint of blue.All the pictures I've seen of AFA the blooms have been white so I'm excited to see this finaly open to see if there is indeed some blue in the bloom or if my old eyes are playing tricks on me.
Very nice :-)
Great pics!!!
That's a nice collection you have there--please post more pics when those buds bloom!

nice pictures and good to hear from you, Bigred! Are you still able to order those Optimaras? They are getting harder and harder to find for me.
Lovely buds and blooms!
yup,I can still order them if they're available but I shut my garden shop down and we can only sell what we grow ourselves at Famer Market so I haven't bought any more.
you can order them directily too I think (we are talking about optimaras right?
oh L@@K...I was right...Allan's Angel IS blue!
How pretty, Big Red!

We'll see if the rest are blue and continues to be blue. Can I rename a plant if it's not true to discription?
on avs you cant,unless you know the parents and have grown it out 3 generations,to prove its stablity,
okey dokey
