I am hoping this is the start for blooming time! A few before and after picks from the heavy rain we have been having.

Hi-

That is the same flower as the second one, just later in the day after all the rain. Its called "Ruby Spider" and its an old one. Looks AMAZING in a clump as they get pretty tall and flowers are a good 7+ inches or larger.

Am I seeing it with 4 petals and 4 sepals? Do they all look like that?

Yep you are correct, 4 and 4. Its a larger flower. When the next one opens I will use my "real" camera to take a nicer photo. Like I said, it was a total mess outside and rain stopped for a bit, but its been raining since 4. Sorry for those in a drought. The gardens are loving all this rain!
