This is my second Ultraviolet Light. It's in more shade and is flowering a month after the other one that gets a lot of sun.

Some from today - the Fragrant Bouquet sports are really nice, the scapes didn't get as tall as usual so the flower heads are more bunched together.

I have a small scape coming on Ray of Hope but it will be a while before it flowers - it's way behind these other two.

I like the 'Ultraviolet Light' above. And what an interesting streaked plant 'Searing Flame' is.

I think the Ultraviolet Light is nice also. I have a bunch of large flowered ones that just won't open fully to get good pictures. I do have a scape coming on Aphrodite and two on Venus. The Aphrodite flowered once about 3 years ago.

The late flowering hosta are starting to show. The rabbits are taking their toll of the scapes - 2 on Blue Angel and a few on my smaller ones.

This plant has about 6 scapes but something is damaging them - the tips are bending over.
