Some flowers today. My "Encore" azaleas are starting to brighten up the garden. The Fragrant Bouquet types are in full flower now. I'm seeing secondary budding on Lemon Frost and Lakeside Ninita which I should be able to get pictures if the rabbits don't chop the scape.

Re: Flowers in the garden - Alcebana Kikurin

Post by redcrx »

One update: A couple of days ago I posted one as "lost the tag". I was just thinking it was Ginko Craig but I found an old map and it has that one labeled as Alcebana Kikurin.

There was a question about color on one of the Aomori. I got some comparison shots today with Gold Star in the foreground and background. I didn't realize the size difference. I knew Setting Sun was a standout now I see why.
