Three Beauties

These three Strep beauties show great promise in being, in my estimation, prize-winners. They have big flowers and are prolific bloomers that stay on the plant for a length of time. Charlaya 1 has self pollinated itself and has a long seed pod. It started flowering on the fifth of July and is still bright and fresh looking.
As there was no room for the excess big plants in the greenhouse I put some out in the garden, even in full sun. Ever since I put them out it has been overcast and drizzly so the plants have survived very well.
