It made me so glad that I have all of you to share with. Isn't this just breathtaking?

Beautiful Edgings

And lookee here - same plant

British Redcoat FFO

God Save the Queen. I think she heard me plotting against her. This is a much clearer color now.

A lovely NOID caladium purchased at Home Depot. This one is worth saving. I read on the annual forum that it works fine to just put the pot and all into the garage over the winter.

Beautiful Edgings really is a beauty there, lovely photo. She is a bloom machine. A couple of years ago it was blooming in late September.

Beautiful Edgings is such a great daylily I don't recall ever seeing a bad bloom from it, she is definately a classic in my book.

Probably too late for ya, but this one gets rave reviews. Jkom51Âs BILÂs Roasted Red Pepper/Feta Quiche (1) Double Pate Brisee crust from Silver Palate for a 9x13 pan: Ingredients: 3 C Flour 1 tsp Salt pinch Sugar 1 1/3 stick butter, chilled 6 Tbsp Shortening, chilled 1/2 C ice water Sift the flour, sugar and salt together into a bowl; add butter and shortening and cut them into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture is like coarse meal. Sprinkle on and blend in enough ice water to make a workable dough, mixing water in lightly with a fork. Turn dough out onto your work surface and, using the heel of your hand, smear the dough away from you, about 1/4 cup at a time. Scrape up the smeared dough into a ball, wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Unwrap dough, place on floured work surface, and pound it a few times with your rolling pin to soften it. Roll out 1/8-inch thick, or to desired thickness. Drape dough over a 9x13 Pyrex pan; ease it into the pan without stretching, pat into place, trim off excess, and crimp edge if desired. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F. Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and prick the bottom and sides well with a fork. Line the pan with foil or wax paper; fill with beans, rice, or pastry weights to weight the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the dough is just beginning to color. Remove from oven, remove weights and lining, and cool slightly. (2) Filling Drop oven temp to 375F. 1 small bunch chopped scallions, white and green parts (or onions species your choice) 1 bunch spinach, rinsed and chopped 1 12 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained 8 oz feta cheese Six eggs 1 C Half & half 1 Tbsp herb seasoning such as savory, thyme, Italian herb mix Fresh ground pepper (there is enough salt in the feta) SautÃ© scallions in butter/oil your choice until slightly wilted. Add spinach and further cook until wilted. Remove from heat and cool, move to a large bowl. Chop roasted red peppers and feta and add to the bowl. Mix in the eggs, Half and Half, and herbs/pepper. Pour filling into the baked crust, and bake 30 - 45 minutes or until set. Remove from oven, serve.

Great job, I'm impressed! I love the look, simple yet beautiful! I'm also loving your dining table, is it from pottery barn, and if so, what do you think of the finish and quality. I've been eyeing a farmtable style set but a little weary because of some of the reviews on PBs site.

WZ knock-off... Matte Beveled subway tile...
Q
Comments (20)
I agree that your WZ price seems way off.... my Gramercy Park subways which were installed last year (not beveled) were 13.50/sq ft. I'm doing a new build and just got prices on two other WZ tiles and they ranged from 14-16.00. Shortly after I got my Gramercy Park WZ tiles I remember someone on GW was asking about the price and they had been quoted double what I received. I bought mine locally from the dealer in our area but I had gotten a quote from a place in San Diego that ships WZ tile. The price was just a hair lower than I paid locally and I decided to give the local store my business and pay happily paid them a bit more. The online source was www.ibtsdiego.com

My Knock Outs
Q
Comments (50)
Oakley....or anyone who is taking a break from weeding, planting, or crying. I only mention the crying since after working so veeeeery hard on various yard plantings, they've up and died on me. Lack of seasonal drought wasn't the issue, as my water bill can attest to. Now what was I leading up to.....oh yeah.....Oak, is the Rose Carpet the same as Drift Roses(like KO, probably not REAL Roses, so shoot me now! What I have look very similar, but they are pink and are going 'agro', as said by my son. It means they're doing very well. Again, no pretty Rose scent. The ones behind the DR(pink in color also, but the name escapes me!)have a fungus and I recently cut them back, hoping to eradicate the problem. Any suggestions as to what I need to do will be greatly appreciated. When I do get blooms, they are very fragrant, but it's very 'thorny'. I could use HELP in every aspect of gardening in Austin! I was born in the midwest, and my gardens were something I could be proud of, even my wildflower garden. With a move to San Diego years later, I was still able to contend with the horrific soil, and my plants all flourished. However, here in Austin, the weeds do better than the plants, and i've succeeded with quite a variety. As much as I love to garden, i've just about given up. ;(

Love Beautiful Edgings - not only is it pretty, but so many blooms over a long period of time and such a good pod setter.

Really like that caladium and the idea of keeping it in a pot.

I'm glad to see that GSTQ is improving. By next year, it may have "freckles." I thought it would make a good cross with Upgrade, but haven't had much luck pollinating with Upgrade one way or the other. After many tries, I finally managed to get one pod set on it, and a only a few daylilies accepted the pollen.

If I'm going to come in from gardening for lunch only to open directly to the Daylily Forum and see Beautiful Edgings, I guess I'm a goner. What a beautiful daylily. The enablers on this Forum are so nice! I hope Beautiful Edgings likes my cold Zone 5.

Beautiful Edgings is one of the most beautiful DL's, what
else do we need.

Don't worry about it growing in Michigan, I live near
Dearborn and mine always rewards me with a great many
lovely flowers.

Beautiful Edgings wins the prize, but I really like your Caladium too. Interesting tidbit about overwintering it right in its container. Hummmm.....Maryl

BE is one of my favorite daylilies. It's one of those oldies but goodies!

Love the caladium! I've been thinking I need to get some caladiums this weekend to plant with my impatiens.

Thank you all for your kind responses to my excitement over what is a very common daylily, but to me uncommonly beautiful. There were 4 of the gorgeous blooms with a somewhat darker edge this morning and 2 rebloom scapes!

Here she is after a long hot day in the sun none the worse for wear.

Beautiful Edgings is showing a most fine edge today! And how grand to have two more scapes coming on it. GSTQ is really shaping up for you, and British Redcoat has lovely color and form. I've never tried to overwinter caladiums, but it would be worth the effort.

Beautiful Edgings is one of those daylilies that seems to do well everywhere and always looks fabulous. When something has been around for a long time and most people are still growing it, you know it's special

She should knock your socks off as beautiful as she is. And rebloom scapes to boot! Wonderful.

Very nice coloring on your Beautiful Edgings. And it looks very good in the evening, and has rebloom scapes = great daylily :) Mine just started sending scapes. It was one of the first ones with a scape, but it dried out.
I also like the other two, British Redcoat and God Save the Queen.

Please show us the caladium planting later when the impatiens have filled out. When I tried to save caladium, it was very difficult to get them going in the spring, but I don't have a greenhouse.
