And this is one that dh bought for me this morning. He also bought Fiji, Born To Run, and bought himself Santa's Little Helper. He says it's my birthday present. I guess 10 weeks late is better than never. At least I got to pick them out. We also received City Center, Song Triumphant and Naturally Gold as bonuses. I took this picture in the seller's garden.

Great early-Birthday presents, lucky you. I've seen pics of these in country mags where they were used as the seats for stools (like a breaksfast bar stool). If I can find the pic in that particular mag, I'll post it for you or tell you where you can find it. (I think it was Country Living mag.) Sal

Darn...I was looking forward to some pictures of the new windows and I'm sure you were looking forward to taking them! As for the Freedom, if you can believe this...it's a FREE cruise. My husband doesn't agree (LOL) because he earned it for being numero uno salesperson at work. We were able to book a wrap around balcony on deck 7. Don't know the name of the deck. I've always wanted to try a wrap around and I'm so excited about it! It's an 8 day cruise so I'll be able to spend lots of time on that balcony and trust me...I will! Still can't wait to see pics of your new windows. I'm sure they will be so awesome, Glenda! Eileen

Michelle, it sounds like you received the ideal birthday present. CB is a beautiful pastel. CIM is one of the few eyed daylilies I grow, and I really like the form. Nice photo!

Thanks all. I had fun picking them out today. It was just DH and I, the kids were spending the day at my mom's. They're not always the greatest of company when going to a daylily garden. I think I'm going to love everything we got today. They are soaking and will be going into pots in the morning to stay until fall.
I received Caledonian Beauty last year in a trade. I had never seen it before. Just told that it was very pretty and I would like it. I do like it and I like that it's a later blooming daylily for me. I hope it continues to be that way. I need more lates.

Belated Happy birthday. I love the Carnival in Mexico. In fact, I had ordered that one last year and it was sold out. After seeing yours, I may have to seek it again. The Caledonean Beauty is a soft lovely bloom.

CARNIVAL IN MEXICO is an eye catcher. Beautiful bloom pics.
Belated birthday wishes.

Well, that was very nice of him and 10 weeks late is not bad when daylilies are involved. Carnival In Mexico is very pretty and it sounds like you got some other good ones too.

All of these are so pretty, but I think Lavender Dusk is my favorite.

Sorry, you'd never know I took Spanish once upon a time. I meant to say, "Feliz cumpleanos!" Happy birthday, not Merry Christmas! Where is my brain today. . . .
