Lots of orange in the gardenview. Really lovely. Pink Gingham is a pretty one, love the color and your Arctic Lace looks stunning. So white. And ta-da! Clown Parade makes its picture debut for this year. You are going to end up making even more of us than already have it get Clown Parade, I just know you will LOL!

Bravo! I have just looked at your 3 posts from Friday and I love all of them. I am trying to catch up on everyone's posts but am so busy trying to get all my yard work done and still hurting from the dog bites, but when I take a break I come here to the forum. You have some very pretty blooms!! I won't even try to pick favorites out of all those I saw, there are just too many lovely ones. I know you are missing Ms. Blackie, though...and I still think of her too. My thoughts are with you, Jean. Celeste

Happy TGIF everybody! Nancy, we love MB...last time I was there saw a sign on the restaurant for "Twofers"...got excited until I saw the tank full of frogs! :) Chase, enjoy the nice weather at the cottage! Spring has sprung! amck, after 12+ years in Bedford I never did learn to like hockey but I'll cheer the old team on anyway! Looking forward to baby pixs also. Alexa, have fun visiting with your friend & stay out of trouble! Jessy, oh...I LOVE Marie Callenders' German Chocolate Pie (actually, I love them all!). Duane, that's so cool you're taking care of Roxie! Grace, I'm envious of your horses. It sounds like such fun. Linda, enjoy the show. Our's was a couple weeks ago...a dud. Hope your's is better. Linda, don't work too hard. Annie, is Elery in town this weekend? I imagine Copenhagen is a real mess! Ellen, please post the 1946 Mac 'n Cheese recipe! Have fun at the B-day party! Diane, isn't it great to be able to garden again?! I'll have flowers in a couple weeks. Deanna, it doesn't sound like fun but, hopefully, you're almost done with that project & can move on to something that is!! Cathy, it's not "Yard Work"...it's "GARDENING"! lol Don's on his way home now...probably about at Old Saybrook (30-40 minutes away). I'm making breakfast for dinner because it's easy to fix quickly when he gets in rather than trying to time something for an unknown arrival. Tomorrow, we have an appointment with a REALTOR (why do they capitalize all of the letters?) to look at a house on Beebe Pond overlooking the Mystic River. We've been looking since Feb. '07 & this is at least the 20th house he's shown us. We are soooo pickey! Also, this is a sad weekend. We are boatless in Mystic. As unbelievable as it sounds considering the economy this guy from CA wanted to buy our Nordic Tug. So, we sold it to him. We wintered her in Annapolis, he saw her, & fell in love. The Homeland Security documents cleared last Friday & escrow closed this Tuesday. She's on her way right now to CA...overland. It's costing him a small fortune 'cause her beam exceeds legal limits, without special permits. Crazy, we would have run her through the Canal. Maybe, he's afraid of such a long trip being a new captain? So, we've got a garage full of "boat stuff" to do something with. :( Please help me say, "Good-bye", to her. /tricia

TGIF! Stacy, I know you miss Will but just be grateful he enjoys school! chase, enjoy the wedding & have fun with the canning. Susie, sorry about your hayfever. DH has allergies & he's having a tough fall also. I'm sorry about your Mom. Hope she OK to be home. Enjoy the party tonight. I made two more batches of muffins for the freezer this morning. Combined with yesterday's baking I've got 35 jumbo-sized muffins in the freezer. That's should last 3-4 months. We're under a tropical storm watch that will be a warning by tonight. Hanna's supposed to cross somewhere between New London, CT & Watch Hill, RI. We're right in between those two places. Predictions are for 5-7" of rain, winds between 45-55 mph, & a 2-3' surge. We're at neap tide so I'm not worried about surge. Depending on how fast it comes down...the 5-7" of rain 'might' be a problem?? I've got all of the garden stuff that could turn into a projectile into the garage & removed the awning from the glider. DH is coming in early & we'll toss a few extra lines on the boat. We had an appointment tomorrow with Ethan Allen to start the process of getting drapes made for our sunroom. I cancelled it a few minutes ago. DH said he needs to be at the marina to help secure boats. Oh well, I wasn't thrilled about using EA anyway. I'll be making sandwiches tomorrow for the guys standing marina watch. Because the center of the storm is supposed to cross our area about 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning it's going to be a long night for the guys. I'll probably make a crockpot of chili so they have something hot during the overnight hours. Thankfully, the storm's moving very fast & should be clear of us by mid-day Sunday. We're not expecting much damage to the marina but people have to stand watch just in case. I'm pretty useless at the marina during storms (other than providing food) so I'll probably curl up with my genealogy & try to solve the mystery du jour. Everybody have a good weekend & to those on the east coast...stay safe & dry! /tricia

Thank you for all of the nice comments! The allium in the bottom left of the Rock Solid is not real, it's garden art - I bought them several years ago from Gardeners Supply, they were called 'Everlasting Allium' :o) I gave all of them a fresh coat of spray paint over the last year. Mantis, I looked it up and I've had Michael Bennett since Aug 2012. I think it's been growing pretty well for me. I'm pretty sure I had it in a pot for a year or two, then planted it in the ground and I moved it last year. I'm not sure how many fans I have, but it has definitely increased. I'm not sure about budcount on it. Youthful hands, hah! I sure don't feel youthful most days... I guess it's all relative - but I am under 50. Nancy, allium do not do well here at this house. They grew really well at my old house, which is just 3 miles from here, but there is major clay here (I don't know if it's native or just crummy fill dirt that the builder brought in). The alliums I planted here are petering out. I have a couple of other different colored echinacea that I like too (Sundown, I think, and a Cheyenne Spirit that is mostly reddish), but I just really love this Dixie Scarlet. I found it at a Farmer's Market last year but haven't seen it again this year. I'm not clear on how the Cheyenne Spirit is supposed to work - my mom and I 'argue' about this once in a while (did on Tuesday night on a garden walk, as a matter of fact!). She and her friend insist that there are different colored flowers on the same plant (and I know the marketing pictures show that), but I think it's just because there are multiple seeds planted in the same pot that grow together and look like one plant. Sherry, I just got Neon Flamingo last year, so really can't comment too much on it. I have only had two blooms open so far. But, here is a picture I just took of the plant, you can see how straight and sturdy the scapes are. They are around 28-31" tall, but again, the plant isn't settled in yet. Kay, I can see why it is one of your new favorites! The End (I feel like I wrote a book, sorry!)

So many pretty ones today, I just love the shot of the daylily bed. I can't believe how much you have in bloom!

Kay-in the lower right of the group shot, what is the red bitone behind the orange flower? It looks darker than Clown Parade.

Love the first bed shot with all those blooms to look forward to, and the shot of Arctic Lace is a beauty. Must get Flying Trapeze one of these days.

Absolutely love, love, love "Flying Trapeze". Does anyone have a reasonably priced source for this one? The few I have seen are beyond my budget. Avedon

I love them all but I think PG stole my heart. AL is always a beautiful daylily and I am pleased I have that one. I must get CP though! All very lovely, Kay....Ellie

ctc - That's waht happens on this forum...one falls in love and buys the item of their passion. Done it so many times!

ngraham, Fridays blooms are many more because of a very light rain, I guess (Rita, as many as you've inspired me to buy, I'm glad I've found one or two for you.

lisa, that is the lovely Malaysian Marketplace:

Avedon and Chris, I fell in love with Flying Trapeze and paid more for it than any other cultivar I have purchased. And I still love it!

Ellie, Pink Gingham is a bloom maching with many perfect blooms. It is a shorter, but in proportion plant and so needs to be on the front of a bed. It is a true pink, rare in the heat.

Beautiful photos of beautiful flowers. LOve love love PINK GINGHAM, don't think I've seen that one before. I too, have been frustrated trying to get good sun shots in the garden, but the fine print in my camera instruction booklet is too tiny to see, so I just keep the camera on manual. Your ARTIC LACE is also stunning, I have been looking for it in vain on the LA for a while now. Thanks for all the beautiful pictures.
