Nice shades! I'm not into spiders too much, but Laughing Skies is very pretty.

Oh yes, I love the lavenders and you have real beauties.
These Eyes has come up a lot lately. I really like the last one VB, please keep posting , my list is changing daily. but that's a good thing. Create Your Dream is maybe my fav, but that changes everytime I look at yours.

I'm finding your older daylilies are my favorites today. Cognizant Dissonant is such a lovely lavender that is showing a bit of applique today. Lounge Lizard is quite a pristine purple and that white edge really makes it pop. Golden Scroll always makes a bright splash in your garden, and that clump of Two Sues is an attention getter too. It looks like Sacco and Vanzettie is doing some mild pinching. Be sure to show any subsequent photos of extreme pleating on that one. Do you really have more than 200 Hansons now? If so, we need to see a lot more photographs. LOL! Debra This post was edited by shive on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 16:15

Please Say Yes has such pleasing tones and ruffling in your garden. Maybe mine would do better planted in the ground. How does it perform for you there? Linda Beck is both pretty and prolific. It was the best performer in my island bed this year, even though it was a bit short on scapes and buds compared to past years. I envy that gorgeous bit bloom on Wall of Fire. I'm just trying to keep my one small fan alive. What is the insect on Victorian Lace? Is it a type of hummingbird moth? Debra

Trailrunner, thanks for the beautiful pics. You can tell I don't know much about azaleas (yet); are the Encore azaleas the small leaf variety? I'm glad I'm getting an education now before my east beds go in! Marti, thanks. I've seen that old original laminate with the metal band, so it must have been all the rage then! And you can actually do an undermount sink with laminate now. My fabricator has a display that looks great! It's almost flush with the counter, not recessed with a reveal, and I think you can only do stainless steel, but it's a good option for many. Flwrs, what a lovely compliment! Thank you so much. We've had neighbors and passers-by make comments about the improvement in the house, so I'd like to think we're doing it proud!

I like Lavs too!! I am surprised...I like BGM and I really didn't think I would. Gonna be a lovely one. LS is really a nice one. Quite tall though isn,t it...I can,t have very tall because we have so much wind here that they would have to be staked. Great pix...Ellie

Love those lavenders and purples. Many of mine were blooming today, and I had wanted to pollinate some, but it got too hot for anything but cactus outdoors. I have LAVENDER MEMORIES, which is a lovely, very pale lavender, but would you believe it is pure white by afternoon, here in Texas?

I love Barn Owl. It is on my list. Your Hi Ho Silver is much better than any of the blooms I've gotten. I'll leave it to see if it improves.

You've got some real beauties. Don't you just LOVE bloom time?!

I love them all! A lot of this group is going on my wish list. And, because of your photos, is the reason I had to get Barn Owl this year. I hope it makes it through our winters. I have read that it may be a bit tender here in Northern Ohio.

Thanks Michelle! Would love to come up for a visit this fall. I am already looking forward to cooler days. I was outside part of the afternoon and it is already feeling like summer. It's hard to get much done in the yard when it's in the 90's.

I still so love Create Your Dream, aahhh! I really, really like your pic of Hi Ho Silver! Most pics I've seen I could never make out the eye color.

fabulous! Michelle, I saw a picture of laughing skies that is was more red. Do you find it's always purple for you? I'm looking for purple/lavender not reddish or rosy for a bed I have. My favorites of these are lavender fantasia, laughing skies, barn own, and create your dream, but they are all heavenly. What a joy your garden must be to feast the eyes on.
