LOl not the best color this year since they need dug out and fertilized when I replant,but still nice they are a deep fucshia when they are fertilized and thinned.But the scent is still very strong on this one It is a hybrid called Mayla

that depends on the age of the plant and LOL how long it has been since it has been replanted ...I always use the newest part of the rhyzomes when I replanting and give awy older sections to friends or anyone that wants some......this year it will be a major job because the pond is literaly overflowing with plants.I have 6 or 7 different ones and some like this one are truly monsterous once they realy get going.

I have not redone the pond in 4 years so it is going to realy be a major undertaking this round some rhizomes will be 6 to 8 inches thick and Lol I may need a backhoe.

I am seriously considering taking a few new starts and draing the pond for the year and using roundup on what is left to eleminate everything so I can start new.


a bigger pond with a waterfall feature and huge filter has been installed and needs plants so that will become a repository for the ones I save.

I have
mme. Wilifron Gonerre a great double rose pink

Mayla the one pictured a realy deep fucshia when properly fertilized or in fresh soil and a great scent always - one bloom scented the entire kitchen today

Attraction a deep red in good fertil soil

James brydon a nice almost red with the scent of apples

and Sulfura a good yellow

Colorado a very prolific blooming salmon with yellow tones

Then I have tropicals that are overwintered in a big tub indoors for winter......

George pershing a huge blue Tropical

colorata a blue miniture Tropical also a spiecies so very nice

and Antares a night blooming red Tropical as well

last year I did have one specimin of a magnificent huge white night bloomer named Missouri but it was so massive it could not be taken in and perished It produced 12 inch wide blooms all summer wonderfull plant gifted to me by my sister and the blooms were beautifull in the moonlight
