Sunday blooms...

Post by Garden_of_Mu »

Here's a few shots of some SDB's blooming now. I am loving Windrose this year. The color is just perfect. I love the soft dusky pink with the contrasting blue beards. Really unique color combo. Ritz is always a good show, and nice jewel-toned colors. Pilgrim's Choice is of a color that cannot be adequately captured on camera. This is a nice shot of it tho. Really captures the light thru the petals.

More to come...

Mike to die for blooms, thanks for sharing!!

I have maked the first brownish bloomer that I believe you requested some time back but we had moved them without
marking and it's bloomed already. Let me know it this is the one and I'll tag it for fall digging to send?

Wow!! What a gorgeous bloom. I had forgotten all about it. Late summer would be best. I usually dig mine the last weekend in July. Not much going on here with the rain and cool temps we've had. I expect alot of stuff will jump this weekend with the warm temps and sunshine we're expecting.
