Mystery rose. Tall. Subtle striping. Strong fruity fragrance. Any ideas...?One of Moore's... name escapes me at the moment.
I can't say enough good about Arthur Bell
A scrumptious looking orange tomato. I think it's a cross between yellow pear and an unknown red.

I'm liking the color on this seedling.

That VD rose after it ages.
Arthur Bell has turn out to be a fantastic no-spray rose here in TN, with nice fragrance to boot.

Miscellaneous

Butterfly bushes tend to seed naturally in my yard. I try to pot them and do something with them. This is one that has a different color than the others.
Another rooted VD rose.

Amaryllids

It's not just all about roses even though they tend to give the easiest and quickest reward. I try to hybridize alot of things. Yellow lilies are an example. Here's another.

Apparent seed pods on Lycoris squamigera. Perhaps a hybrid with a blue Agapanthus (intentional). No guarantees on that's what they are... or that I will have germination.

My experience with amaryllids is that one can go many years without seed and then out of the blue they will produce some.

It's very double- like I said. I keep hearing in my head, "cabbage on a stick." I think this is what sells though.

First of August!

Slow to open. Maybe tomorrow.
