It looks like my Girl Power won't bloom its first year here. Yours is so pretty that I am sad to have to wait another year for it.

I may be wrong, but I think it took two years for it to bloom the first time here too.

Most of the little ones are great growers here, and they are the season openers. They bring some early color to the gardens. Smiling

Your accidental seedling looks very much like its Aladdin's Flames' child. Your littles are looking lovely as always. Interesting that your It's Not Over blooms early. Here it is mid to late. Wish Lumilite liked it here. Enchanted Princess grows like a beautiful weed here. It reminds me of Bonnie too.

Yes, the seedling is most likely from Aladdin's Flame, but it is taller than it's mother, so daddy pollen must have come from a TB maybe. Lumilite is a finicky grower here, still a very tiny clump and doesn't bloom very often. Enchanted Princess is a huge clump here too. I sure miss Bonnie's whit and humor.

We had wind, hot sun, and then a T storm today, so poor Milk In My Coffee looks like a flatty now. Rolling my eyes.

Poppy sayin, I'm bored, can't we go for a walk or something?

It's still dark out, not sure what I'll find open this morning when the sun comes up. Supposed to be sunny and warm, I should be able to work on weeding again today.
