Love the intense pink blending into the bright yellow center.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

I told myself if you posted any more about Sunfire I would not look... I would not look! Dang it, no will power here!  :'(  Now I have the envy thing going on. I hope I live long enough to see one of those blooming in my pond, so impressive. How long before Sunfire will be up for sale?

   Thanks for the appreciation of Sunfire. I feel so lucky to have it and be able to enjoy it every day. 

   I post pictures for your pleasure, not to torture you.  But anticipation can be fun, don't you think, like waiting for Christmas.  Especially when you know that you will be the first people in the world to be able to buy one when I get enough of them to sell.
   Ive been working hard making seeds this spring and I think I'm going to stop for the year, for the most part at the end of this month.  That will free up more than half my day for other work like dividing up my bigger Sunfire plants and planting more beds.  This will help to get plants to you as fast as possible.
   The same for other plants like Yellow Watermelon, Haunting beauty, Fairy Skirt, Pink Tulip,that big yellow one that I will call Big Yellow,  Maybe even Sunfires Sister, she's been appealing to me lately. And others that I may or may not have shown you.
   Sorry Frogman for torturing you but I must warn you that there are pictures of big Sunfire beds flowering to beat the band coming in the next couple of years so prepare yourself.
