I love the last picture with the branching path as it shows off the beautiful garden around it. Emperor's Dragon is my favorite today of your lovely clumps.

Great pairing of Emperor's Butterfly and Forsyth's Garrett Mason, both are so pretty. Eyes of Distinction still attracts me.

Well I am so glad some of you like bed and clump shots. I always like them, and like to see the garden more in a fuller context than just a bloom, but I know not everyone feels that ways, thus the warning. Thank you all for looking and for your kind comments. I will have to catch up tomorrow or sometime since I have to go to work and I have a lot of new blooms, so a lot of new photos today. kay

There is another clump of Bold Tiger in front of Lime Frost as well as the clump in back. You just can't tell because the one in front didn't happen to have any blooms. You can probably notice the spent bloom from yesterday because I did not pull dead blooms before I took the shot.

I've been (quietly) enjoying everyone's 'group shots', but ColoDon just posted a pot-head group shot that caused me to FOTCLOL (that's FellOffaTheCouchLaffingOutLoud). I'm *not* making fun of pot heads at all. Y'all's posts caused me to realize that y'all can rearrange your groups at whim, a fun and interesting idea, one that until now I only used when trying out different layouts for a new bed. That has given me a new idea for a new bed, perhaps, a 'potted shade plant experiment bed', if you get my (sorry) 'drift'. The inspiration this group provides is so great! OH, Hey ColoDONrado, is that yellow tape yor snow depth gauge . . . ^_^

Wow Bill, loving your plumie patch, they all look so happy and healthy, and look at the bloom heads on those, the scent in your garden must be sensational...Chelsea is a beautiful little "angel"- not- lol..reminds me a lot of my new baby Lexi, and the butterfly picture is just priceless... Here's Lexie, she was found wandering in the heat wave we had last week, she's a really luck girl too, she was clipped by a car, but luckily she's alright...Like Chelsea she likes to eat my plumie flowers too, she's constantly chewing on everything and anything in sight. I know she needs to be groomed...:) Nikki T.

The beauty of having bought a good many different ones from Roycroft is I can look through his blooms if i forget a name. I had forgotten Emporer's Dragon, but it popped up and I nailed it...then verified it by the packing slip.

I always like to have pictures that actually share the gardenso oone cac see more than a simple bloom...but books are good too.

I'm so glad I bought Desperado Love last fall. It doesn't look like it will bloom for me in its' first year. I love the last pic with the walking paths and the fennel. Everything looks so lush! And Reason For Treason is amazing as usual!

I am falling in love with DESPERADO LOVE. And that Emperor must have the most amazing menagerie because both EMPEROR'S BUTTERFLY and EMPEROR'S DRAGON are great. And I think I'll have some of that PERSIAN MELON for dessert because it looks positively delicious.

Love that last picture. Reason for Treason is a beauty and I like the way that picture shows how part of your garden is laid out.

Just love group and clump shots. They show the daylilies real character. I have been on the fence over a particular daylily and after seeing a clump shot I know for sure yea or nea. It is so exciting to see them next to others too. I too would like to take a walk in your garden. Thanks for the sharing Kay.

I am so sorry I was so late answering. I slept about 16 hours yesterday. Only 3 months and 10 days and I get to sleep at night like normal people. Thank you for looking at the blooms.

bigack...it's never too late...my beds are only three years old and I am 66.

Avedon, that grouping was a total accident, but thank you.

Casey, and they are both purples! To all of you who likesd it, Emporer's Butterfly has been blooming a lot, and I don't know why I haven't posted it.

njmomma, give Desperado a little time and it will reward you!

Rita, Elizabeth, Jean, Julia, Christine, Val and Vickie. I really like having the paths show in the picture. Take a right and you will go to the shed and the rose garden. Tun in the neext left and you will reach a sitting area under the big oak tree. Go left (in the photo) and you will eventually pass the green house, then the big iris beds, then you can go straight to the biggest daylily beds. Straight ahead (in the photo) takes you to the butterfly garden, smaller clumps of daylilies and many perennials and annuals along with the hummingbird feeders.
You can walk in my garden at any time.
