And all the babies I got from Jack Carpenter seem to be doing pretty well. I cut some scapes off, and a lot of foliage... but some a few scapes I left. The clumps were pretty large, so they seem to be settling in nicely. The flowers don't look nearly as good as they did at Jack's, but they are a little stressed. Thankfully we got some rain today!! Yippe!

They are all unbelievably beautiful. I know you must be loving your garden right now. The teeth on Create Your Dream are almost shark-like. Wow! I also really like Unvanquished and Jack Carpenter's Blue Eyed Seedling. Please keep posting these pics.

Christina, OKSANA is one of my favorite roses. I don't particularly like the name, but the rose is so beautiful. It's quite different from anything else. Unfortunately, it's not all that great of a bloomer, and it has weak necks most of the time. But I love it. Irisgal, CDG is a wonderful rose. The form is always so lovely on it. It's really too feminine of a rose to be named for a man, no matter who! And as far as MAVRIK goes, it doesn't blow all that fast, but for a rose with that many petals, I suppose it could last longer in cooler areas. That particular bloom was about 2-3 days old, and it opened up more the next day. Early in the season, the thrips usually do some damage.

Thanks everybody. BLACK LADY is one I got many yrs ago from Hortico. They still carry her, BTW. And Heirloom has her but not in stock at this time. For me she grows about 4 1/2ft tall and maybe 3ft wide. She repeats pretty well and doesn't have much disease that I recall. Scent is fairly strong. LOVE'S PROMISE is a really good rose too. Smells good and this photo just doesn't show the velvety texture on the petals. It's an even better bloomer than BL. Ozmelodye, LORISE has a very light scent sweet scent. SVR DE PIERRE GUILLOT doesn't seem to have much scent at all. It blows fast and fades to a pale pink color.

SUNNY ABUNDANCE SUPERSTITION TATTOOED DAUGHTER And this is a goofy little juvenile brown towhee that somehow slipped and got its little self stuck down inside one of the columns of my metal pergola in the backyard. My son and I had to take the base off the column and lift it up in order to get her/him out. Not sure how long it was in there, but it was pretty exhausted and disoriented when it flew out the bottom... and or damn dog almost caught it twice, so we had to put her in the house til the poor birdie could recover from the ordeal and get away.

Ann - I DO love my garden right now. Not that it stops me from thinking about what it will be like when all these babies grow up to be clumpers! Create Your Dream is new this year, and boy oh boy is it showing off. I just really love it.

Betsy - I am pretty new to teeth... and I think I am also getting some pretty good tenacles (like on SOT), but I keep getting the terminology confused. :o)

Nancy - maybe when we do that daylily Mecca, we could swap!

Jill & Chris - I really love Barn Owl too! I just got him this spring, and I was SO happy to get a few blooms... just so I could see. What is funny is, HE was the reason I ordered from Daylily Manor. But, I ended up with so many nice plants from them!

Lrae - those seedlings are from a friend I made here, Ed (xokientx). They are from Joan Senior x SDLG. Beautiful, aren't they? As the day wears on, they only get whiter. I am trying a few crosses with them this year... so they will be incorporated into my program! :o)

katladie - Ivory Finesse just moved into my yard about a week ago. I really love the purple/lavender edge... I can't wait to see her in action when a clump forms! I got it right from Jack Carpenter, and he pretty much gave me a mini clump... so next year should be a good one!

Thanks Jan! But, I have to say... right back at ya! I enjoy your posts too... even if you do like red! :o)
