yikes Kristy, hope you all dont get it. haaand sanitizer, vitamins, I'm sure you know the drill, lol. Pam, I like the buds more than the flowers, lol. They remind me of moonflowers, how they are all swirly like soft ice cream on a cone. I dont know, I'm weird..my coffee aint workin..what is this decaf????? Seriously tho, I have had that a few years now, the tag said shade so thats where I put it..boy was that tag wrong. Now its in full sun this year and is 3x the size, has bigger flowers, and is blooming its head off! Where as every other year it was far and few between bloom wise, and stayed very small. Theresa, I am so happy with the NBJ this year..non stop blooming..so much for the bloom cycle going with the moon. Mine hasnt stopped since it started last month! Every night is heaven!! DD says she can smell it in her room every night, but for the first time last night as I was laying in my bed I could smell it, and its not real close to the house either. No bud on the lotus yet...I think what I thought was a shaft was just string algae covered in aphids, lmao. Gonna fert again today. I have been putting 4 in at a time since its taking up the whole preform, but maybe thats not enuf? Man I hope the Iochromas and Fuchsias bloom this year! The Iochroma get so bushy so fast, I am constantly plucking leaves off to keep the bottom airy. Thanks Siam! Thank you CB!! geez..I hope its not gangrene! lmao, seriously tho...I really like hostas, I wish I knew the names on all of them. I think I only have names for about 6 of them. Hard to ID the ones I dont know what they are, so many dif ones look so much alike. DO Hostas do well in your area? Like I said, take your time on the pkg, dont rush anything on my acct! thanks again bud! :) You're too kind & sweet! thanks everyone!

I am feeling some better Rita, Thanks. The plant is so small on the second one that it can barely hold the bloom. I didn't think it was old enough to bloom... LOL! ngraham, if I could just put the edge from the second onto the first, I would be in high clover! I stayed inside mostly today and do feel better, thanks.. Thank you Linda. I do like the edge on the second and it has no problem opening.. Thank you Jean.. Nancy, I think Singular Sensation and Candied Popcorn Perfection both make pretty babies.. I went outside about six and came inside before eight. There is so much to do and it's to hot to do it.. Hehehe!! Michelle, I did not notice the ruffled edge. I have it also wiht another but she has different parents.. Thank you for your good wishes.. Thank you Debra. I have another seedling from the same pod as the first that I really love. It has bloomed 2 years but I think my dh tilled it up. By the time I found it, it was mostly gone. I do still have it though.. Gee thanks Silverkelt. I was amazed that it didn't lose any of it edge as it bloomed. I find that the second year, they are better or worse but definitly change the second year. I can't wait to see next years!! Thank you Sharon. I am feeling much better today..I can't wait to see if there are any new surprises for me tomorrow. Thank you all, you are very sweet...Ellie

What a treat to see that you are still having magnificent blooms. I LOVE the color and form of Over the Top. How big is the bloom? Coral Masterpiece is so elegant. I am glad to see that Persian Market is reblooming for you - hope mine puts up new scapes. My scapes were about 3 1/2 feet tall this summer. I think they grew taller because they were in the middle of a bed and were reaching toward the light. Lastly, but the best is your seedling. Beautiful soft color. Congratulations. Ann

All gorgeous, but Panama Scarlet would get my vote for #1. Thanks. Jane PS: I should have posted my photos in 'parts'. I about fell asleep at the keyboard until I was finished. Live and learn, and what is really ridiculous is that I have dial-up.
