Not really.  This picture (bottom one) is the afternoon BEFORE the storm this
spring.  At least it shows the colors.  I have one a couple of days later, but
it is a very tattered and storm worn.  After the diluge of May 1 & 2.

I'm seriously working on a line of these with an eye to rebloom.  Seed from
this x 2019-03.  (top picture) (Computer reversed them).  These should keep me
walking to the garden!





<<post-able photo of that variegata? >>






Griff, I'll show some of my other crosses.

Betty -- Do you have a post-able photo of that variegata? I like im, too. And
what's wrong with blooming in October? Sure, that's too late for some northern
climes, but I have IB and TB rebloomers, here at the tip-top of zone 7, that
bloom in October, November and December -- even occasionally gracing the
Christmas table. -- Griff
