I am not Joe but yes, Agnes is a rugosa. I think it was either Paul or John who posted her here years ago and she was so beautiful, just took my breath away. Oh, to be able to grow rugosas without the associated problems of growing roses in Bugville located only a few feet away from Fungusville.

Love, love, love Blue Mountains and Snow Crystal. I was able to view your pictures earlier, but for some reason I was not able to sign onto GW to post a response. Great photography. Thanks, Dot Ann

More Fall blooms! Part 2

Thanks everybody! Iris gal, I don't know if you'll find COURTOISE anywhere anymore. I got it from Hortico several yrs ago. I don't believe they still carry it. Hmm, I just saw MICHELANGELO on one of the websites. Can't remember which one tho. I've tried several different Hummer feeders over the yrs, and this old fashioned Perky Pet one is their favorite, and mine. Never drips and the bees can't get into it. Only problem is, during the summer, I was changing them every day. I have 5 of them out there. Actually 6 counting the one in the back. I must've had 30+ hummies feeding out there at the peak. They're so cute. I love 'em! Lynn, anytime I get the reds right, it's usually just dumb luck. I do like to take my pics in low light tho. They come out better and truer color than in full sun.

Oops, here's the missing photo of the perfume balls. Not sure what happened there. On the edit in photobucket, suggestion, I tried fixing them there, but it errored out, said try later. Still weird because they had already been rotated before I uploaded them. The Gaillardia are in two different 'no mow' zones, one in the back, one in the front. They are also known to the DH as the 'chigger zones' but it's a small price considering how fun it is to have them and watch all the pollinators. What I don't have a lot of this year are hummers, not sure why but no one else seems to have a lot either. Hopefully we'll be ready for fall migration.

Wow....thought I could pick a favorite, but I keep changing my mind. The garden shot is beautiful. All American Chief really shines. That's the best picture I've seen of Annette's Magic. I've passed it up a couple times, but after seeing your picture I love it. I've had my eye on Judy Farquhar for a couple years now. Just beautiful. I can never get a decent picture of Ginny Mitchell. Your's looks great.
I guess my favorites are Bluebird Butterfly and Wizard At Large. But any of these would be more than welcome in my garden.

Southbound Odyssey and Written on the Wind are stunning! Wizard at Large and the very large Judy Farquhar are awfully pretty, too.

When I decided to start a little daylily garden, All American Chief was the first selection because of pictures I've seen here. That was 2 years ago. And it still is among the favorites. I remember being sent 3 slightly bigger than pencil size separate fans. But AAC is not a wimp. All 3 small single fans are now mini clumps.

Wizard at Large is huge, stunning and always a good bloom.

Southbound Odyssey was one of those add on purchase to make the most of the initial $10 first plant shipping thing. Frank Smith's description was so appropriate - I like the plant a lot.

More and more, I see how plants change for the better as they get established. Judy Farquhar bloomed really big flowers last year, but not very impressive to me as they look weak. Now, these blooms seem so full of personality.

Considering myself lucky to get Ginny Mitchell from Maryott's last year (because it got dropped this year). It's such a beauty even if it's in a shady area.

Annette's Magic is a gift plant from Annette Rice. And what a beautfiul gift it is.

Thank you all for your comments.

How did I miss these? I know you always post beauties, Ben, and these are no exception. I just love all American Chief. It is beautiful! They are all so beautiful, but I think Written on the wind is my choice of these. Thanks for posting them.

Bluebird Butterfly just grabbed me. And Mississippi Blues is another favorite of mine.

Love that garden shot showing off All American Chief.
