Thanks all, its funny about Bowie and not having his coffee yet, cause that was my dilemma!! Now that summer vacation has officially started, I sit every morning ( after feeding the cats of course) on that 'new' garden seat with my morning coffee or tea, and bowie usually will sit in my lap, but lately he has been rushing to get to it first!! I can't sit on HIS lap, and I have to plead with him to get down!!! I have to go get another chair to sit on. He does know a good seat when he sees it!!! It's too funny and he looks very funny in that pic. Sharon, the cat in the other bed across from the PINK bed never causes any mischief, cause he is cement. Here's another pic of Bowie, guarding the garden, which he does a very good job of, whenever he sees a squirrel in the bird feeder, he runs over, has never hurt a squirrel but seems to know that they have their own feeder, cause he never chases squirrels out of the squirrel feeder. In the pic of Bowie, his very shy mother, we just call her 'mommy kitty' is on the other side, They were both rescue cats. Oh well, lots of fun to have the critters and cats around. Oh, I meant to post another daylily that I was so excited about, didn't take a good pic, It was the bonus Prediction from Maryott last fall and it showed itself yesterday. The last daylily is Drop Cloth which opened a few weeks ago, on a newly planted. Cindy FFO on Prediction Drop Cloth from Daylily Manor, May 7th, FFO one month later Cindy

They're both beautiful in different ways. Golden Showers is really gorgeous and that's the shape I usually like. I don't usually like the singles, but the stamins and pistils look so happy there!!! Thanks for the shot of yellow! Carol

Even though I have not been taking pictures of daylilies (nothing to shoot yet) the camera comes out everyday and I have been shooting lots and lots of pictures. My roses are really blooming now and I have never enjoyed them as much as this year, I have never taken so many pictures of them either but I can't resist. Have been posting many pictures on the Roses Gallery Forum.

Heres another link to the lastest batch of rose pictures in case anyone wants to look.

GRRRRRR....why can't we grow beautiful roses down here like those! They just don't do well in our hot humid weather, but you sure do have some beauties and the foliage is perfect too. Do you spray them alot to keep down black spot, etc. or do you just not have a problem with it?
Thanks for the show.

Its hot and humid here in the summer too. Just not summer weather here yet and summers are not as long. I am due to spray on friday and sprayed two weeks ago on friday. Usually I start fairly early in spring every two weeks but I was so busy this year, I didn't get to it. The roses stayed very clean and were just starting to think about blackspot.

I don't use insectacides as I have worked much to hard to make my garden attractive to birds, butterflies, hummers and bees. Some bugs around just goes with having a garden. The birds help out by finding lots of bugs for me. But fungicide, yes, I can not get along without spraying my roses with fungicide.

Honestly, you guys don't hear about it that much because were on the daylily forum but early june is rose time around here.

I will be continueing to post pics every few days in the rose gallery forum so if anyone would like to see more of my roses, just check back there from time to time.

Thank you all for the compliments on my roses. I had the rose obsession before the daylily obsession and could not part with them.
