I am not posting any more as I will hog the thread...........someone else post some pics and I will, too............
I took pics this morning.
Oh well........I will just hog the thread while I am in the mood to post........pics, that is..........
Deep Dark Secret
I don't have a clue, but the blooms are giant on a tiny plant and the bloom stems are so short???
Fancy Pants with 3 different colored blooms.
Franken Allison looks like she would be boring but she has the sweetest and softest looking nice blooms.
For some reason I didn't mark her name on the picture and can't remember.
Franken Jane Elizabeth........she is prettier than this!
A baby Georgette is starting to bloom.
Lavender Profusion is off to a slow start.
I am nuts about LLG Sunsweet and she stays in bloom.
OK Gail,drool.
They are all so pretty,but for me Blue Leyla and Deep Dark Secret really stand out.
Lynn
Hi Lynn........I was so excited when I realized that I had kept a leaf of Deep Dark Secret and now I have her back again!
This is Margaret and when she first started to bloom, I didn't get a thrill, but she is growing on me.
Nancy Block's Hot Time Tonight is a knockout bloom for me. Jim thought she was deformed looking (LOL)
Never ever get tired of Night Beacon. I should have taken a pic of the whole plant.....she is too pretty........
Persian Carpet has her first blooms.
I can't capture the true color of Raspberry Velvet as she is a bright wine..........
Remembering JOhn is one of my very favorite Thompson's.
Royal Hope by our own hybridizer, Jim King!
She's a beauty too and so is Georgette.I know everyone loves pink,but I'm picky with that color.I am partial to red,yellow,orange and some shades of purple.I love deep dark colors and dark or variegated foliage.
I agree with you, Lynn about being partial to the oranges and apricots.........they are hard to find.........
These blooms are giant and so is the plant on Pink Russian.
All I can say is wow.You are posting pictures faster than I type.
Shenendoah's Sugar Plum first blooms.
I get carried away...........I will only post these in one file.........it is getting embarrassing..........I took more pics this afternoon in another file and will post tomorrow or the next day.
I was pleasantly surprise at the hot color of Shenendoah's Summer.
I think I am not much of a fan of most fantasy blooms. This is Streaker.
Sunkist Strawberry Fizz.......like her!
Bad picture of Texas Hot Chili because she is really a hot colored one and nice...........
Goodbye for now.............thanks
gail
Blue leyla is outstanding! Gail, How's your new camera with color accuracy?
I don't know yet. I don't think it takes as good of pictures.......but who am I to say. IT should be taking the same exact pictures?????????
The computer tech asked me to try taking some with the flash turned off, but I haven't figured out yet (never knew on the other camera) how to turn the flash off.......right now it is set on automatic.......
I particularly want to take a picture of Raspberry Velvet in natural light and see if I can capture her true color, but most of these are the true colors as the plant blooms.
Interesting--whenever I use my flash, the color washes out, almost completely. I've gotton a lot better at getting the colors, but it is still not always 100% accurate. Wish I had a computer tech guy! sigh....
The color washes out on me, too , with a flash if I have all the lights on..............turn the bright lights off and shoot in the dark (LOL)
Can't stop myself!.............................................................................................................................................................................................................
Everything I do is a shot in the dark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
