Default Today In The GH

This is what's happening today in the GH....








Thought I post this to show just how much a flower can fade with time....

Howard, where'd you find the sun? Our weather is making news with sustained 20-30 mph winds and snow all day! The sun for me comes from florescent tubes

Nice to be able to go out to your little corner of the world and forget the winter blahs, eh?

Yes, some of the yellows do fade while others seem to hold on...thankfully. Here are some of mine that seem to stay yellow!

Ross, I had to run a safety rope out to the GH so the wind wouldn't carry me away

Well Doc, you seem to be seeing red today! They are lovely.
The P. Sogo David takes the prize today for me.
Exquisite.

Gorgeous, Doc! Reds and yellows, oh my! Just lovely.

Re: fading... the little spots on the petals and sepals of my Mini Mark are slowly fading... so strange!

Hi, Doc. Do you have a name for the intense red stripe? Haven't seen many with that much coloration.

The picture showing the fade is very interesting.

The Sogo Romantic is very lovely. I like the pink blush.

If you mean the 3rd pic, it is Phal Taida Salu 'Morning Sun'. Phal Taida Salu 'XXXXXXX' should still be available if you look around....I think, don't know for sure, but I think it is somewhat common
