They are beautiful. Love all the colors. We've had our chickens since last year and they still act like I'm trying to catch one to ring it's neck everytime I try to touch one of them. They come running when they see you coming toward them, they are greedy and want scraps. But, they don't like being held or touched. But, that's okay, with my 50+ lb dog that loves to lay in my lap and the 5 indoor cats, I have enough animals that love me without getting my feelings hurt about the chickens.

Thanks for the kind words! I am just having so much fun with these little babies! I'm sure I'll take a zillion pictures and post them as they grow up. You guys will be sick of them by the end of summer...:p Paphiocon...the Black Prince seeds are from Parks. They were a litle stingy in the # of seeds they put in a pack, but I got good germination overall with Parks seeds - except for my Digitalis grandiflora! I am so bummed that hasn't germinated yet...it joins the 15 or 20 containers left that haven't sprouted yet. :( Thanks for the tip Vera...I'm growing the Black Prince snaps in the back yard and I'll put the "Tall Mix" in the front yard. Then I can collect seed or let it reseed! Do you think the Yvonne's Salvia is too little for end of May? It sprouted on May 8th. I hope it flowers well, but we don't have real long summers here.

True pinks can be hard to find in daylilies - a lot of them are peachy. Have you looked at Roycroft Daylily Nursery's website? Some of their prices seem a bit high, but they let you search by color. Of course you can't tell true colors from photos - the best thing to do is see a daylily in person if possible. Type of soil and temperatures can also affect daylily colors. Here's a couple previous threads about pinks: Are there any true pinks? what's your favorite pink? Juliet

Oh, as for the job, I certainly am quite tired when I get home at night, and when I wake up in the morning! But I do quite enjoy it so far. Going to a conference tomorrow about local educational research. Mr. Robo Has been finding the transition challenging. It doesn’t help that Em started teething shortly after he took over. But Mr. Robo is very competent and I think they are having some fun together, too. he sent me these pictures
