Thanks, Jan -- Yes, you're right about
the color. There's a lot of variety in its background, and I was surprised
that the yellows predominated. Happily, it's one of those flowers whose
colors are brought out by sunlight, rather than faded. --

Very nice, Griff. It has a lot more lively color than we sometimes
see in the honey group. Very nice flower form and branching.
Sometimes, I think, the impulse to share the
photo of first bloom ought to be resisted. In the case of this fall
bloomer (KINDLE A FLAME X CHERRY GLEN), its photo was taken, and
posted, after opening during a night of hard rain, and it surely
qualified for the name Rain in the Face. Now, however, with the rain
gone, it presents a different picture, having the flared falls I thought it
should have, and its colors more clearly seen. The first mug shot and
the stalk shot were taken in early morning sunlight, the second mug shot
near sunset. It has 9 buds and a nice, fruity fragrance. In the
stalk photo seen here, a spent bloom has been removed from the lower left
branch. The spur below the terminal toes in, so we'll have to see if
that fault persists in the spring. Except for that, I'm pleased with
it and will probably try to cross it with POOH'S DREAM, a large, tailored
honey-colored TB which is being introduced next year. --
