First Lady of the season!

This is my first bloom of P. 'Lady Margaret' this year. I have 4 hanging baskets of this variety just so I can have them blooming all over! The last time I had my hanging basket,.... I would come home each day to ~10 blooms! A gorgeous, happy sight awaiting my arrival home! Red's my favorite color.....

Hybrid magic

Eric and Crystal sweetly allowed me to use the photo of their hybrids.... it shows the difference in parents, all in the same picture. Hybridization (is that a correct word?) is truly a magical and fascinating process to me.....
