Wow, Jan, your garden has just been exploding while I've been gone! Such gorgeous blooms...hang on to Love Spills Over...that one's been a great performer for me. Got to meet Tim Bell, by the way, at the convention...sat right behind him on the bus! More on that when I get to posting all my scores of photos from the trip...

Enjoying your photos very much!

Sherry, my MJP is doing very well. She's still small, and I've had only one bloom from her, but it was lovely. Cream and apricot and pink all washed together. She seems quite healthy and is currently putting out new growth - I think she is just a quiet little aristocrat who doesn't take giant strides, just little dainty steps. Another small rose that I got even later last year is really leaping ahead, and has given two flushes already (only two blooms each flush, though!). But I don't hold that against MJP - they are just different from each other. I am also facing the problem of less sun this year (the trees have grown), so I have been moving them all around for maximum exposure. Also I'm repotting the ones most in need of it, one at a time (I'm not known for my stamina), and this has helped the ones that have been done. In the ground is not an option for me, but it sure sounds like it helps! Your SdEV is exquisite. Laura

Thanks for looking. Jean, I am probably at peak bloom right now. I wasn't able to post for several days, so had to pick and choose to post today, Maryl, Ranger Bob came off the lily auction three or four years ago. It had been somewhat overshadowed by a Bridal Wreath Spirea which I pruned pretty hard and it is enjoying the sunshine. Ruth, Clown Parade's color varies some with the heat here. The cooler it is, the brighter the red and the less yellow to it. I fell in love with Red Eyed Fantasy when someone posted pictures here on the forum. Same thing with Rose F Kennedy. They both seem to be very strong plants. and pretty quick increasers. kay

Love the asiactic lily, a pretty one for sure. The shot from the roof looking down is not for me. Makes me dizzy and I don't care for the angle of looking straight down on everything. I want my feet firmly planted on the ground LOL! My favorite is Siloam Sambo. I find is quite interesting the way you have paired it with the red Coleus. Those match perfectly.

THANK YOU for all your nice comments on my photos. We had another unseasonably warm day today after the rain of yesterday and the plants are loving it and are being tricked into thinking this can go on forever. They are in for a shock when it starts acting like New England weather in October. As am I! I never have gotten used to the cold even though I have lived here all my adult life...(I was born in south Georgia and lived there as a child). Cindy, no Zeus doesn't mind the leash although he isn't used to being outside so everything spooks him....the falling autumn leaves or a car going down the road will send him into a panic. I am glad that the outside scares him, though. I have lost too many cats to the coyotes and fisher cats in the woods that surround my yard. Lily & Nemo are too old to change their ways, having been outside cats all their lives and everyday I worry they won't make it home after their excursions in the woods. Celeste

I like the looks of Jersey Girl. Would you call her a true pink? Or does she have peachy undertones?

Jan,
The two that grab me are such opposites Ferris Wheel and Fairy Tale Pink. But Love spills Over is gorgeous too. Thanks, I really need to add to my list. John Shooter called me today, and my order ships out tomorrow. Where am I putting it? Not Sure yet.

All great, keep going ,as I go out and cut out some grass. I think I found a few spots to tuck a few more in. I only have Fairy Tale Pink in this grouping, but now I need Born to Run, along with a few others.

Very nice Jan. I like Born To Run the best. I have seen other pictures of it and some of them don't look that great. Is your bloom form and color consistant?

Thanks Dianne....BTR is a newbie, just planted this spring, so the blooms haven't been as good as I expect they will be in future years. Although it has greatly improved with each new bloom.
