Summer is here! I got home from camping 6 hours ago and am still trying to get everything done for the weekend! When I don’t take photos in the morning, the blooms are pretty sunburned by noon. And we had wind today. And single digit humidity. So, for today there were 5 new blooms.
Wild Horses is a favorite, dependable bloomer. I have had her 3 years and she puts on quite a show. Can you see the wild horses in her pattern?

So, Chaco Canyon bloomed when we returned from this same camping adventure last year. I love her stripes!

A brand new face for this year is Navajo Rodeo. Waiting 3 years to see some of these has taken patience. She reminds me of Talon, but redder. I am sure they are related.

Ruby Spider is one of my oldest blooms, and always a favorite. She is huge, and oh so red!

And little Happy Returns is back. She is such a delicate little yellow trumpet.
