Karen, Yes Ake-Mongkol sure is stunning. If you can get one do so as it is much prettier in person than I can possibly photograph. Remmy is so precious and is babied beyond belief, he shares a pillow with me and has to be fed fresh food every morning even though he has food in his bowl...a little diva. LOL. I've had a LOT of cats and this one has had the best, loveable personality. He is a people person and has to be held all the time. lol. Nicholas, what a shame. That is entirely not true they can still get their refund from the vendor. I had a friend that was a manager at Lowes and he told me that. Sad! I do agree with Rich that the part that is missing has produced roots so it would most likely grow from that point. Unless I fell in love with the flower...I'm not so sure I would spend that kind of money. Marie, the bloom on Blue Sparrow changed so much today. It really is a beauty. I will add the photo below. Blue Sparrow as of today: This is Dark Jade. OMG I love it, I cannot seem to capture an accurate picture of the black, purple and bright red/pink coloring. As you can tell my favorites are the singles. Not sure why I think it might be the orderly nature of the flower rather than the messy look.

Thank you for sharing the pretty blooms. I'm positively bloom starved bloom. Happy to see everything settling in for you. Wish you and everyone a great season.

I really like your color combinations. My BC is just a baby and no blooms yet. Yours gives me hope! How much sun does yours get? Mine is in a shady spot.

weather has turned hot forcing semps into bloom and sending them over fast. i'd be happy if they never bloomed.
