Pics! Some good news and some bad news.

15 years ago

Well, the NOID I bought yesterday bloomed today and the bad news is it's Strawberry Candy and I already have 2 of them, but the good news is I love it and it has so many buds on it (as you can see in the pic) and my others are babies so at least I'll get some color this year!

And more good news is Woodside Romance looks so yummy! (my new purchase)

my new Strawberry Candy - check out all the buds!

My new Woodside Romance - just lovely

More of WR

Happy Returns

Joan Sr. was begging for attention

That is a huge clump of Strawberry Candy, looks like yours is more pink than mine. Love your WR, it's a beautiful color.

The other SC I have isn't as pink so I'm wondering if I should still bunch them together. Maybe it will be more pink next year - who knows. That's why I bought it - it was such a huge clump I couldn't resist. It was next to something else blooming that wasn't SC and I was hoping it would be that but I guess it's better that I know what I have.

I'm off to buy Prairie Blue Eyes!

Jan, I like em' big too!! That is a ffo on the first seedling and it has several buds so I will see what happens to it! I had Breed Apart..I didn't like the stippling and it never bloomed well for me..I sold it out.. People are different, even daylily nuts like us. There are some that I just can do without as I'm sure it's the same for you. I don't like Mini's very much but I do have several. My favorites are the seedlings I have that are from some of the Siloams.. You've seen some. I have one blooming now that is out of 2 large dls and it's going to the woods. I kept it this long because I really don't have many blooming!! I drove about 25 miles south yesterday to a friend and she has a yard full of blooms. Some of the same ones Ithat I have! LOL!! LLF is new to me this year! I won it on the auction and I think I love her. She a suttle one and is supposed to have a silver edge which I don't see yet! Remember how Bird Talk looked when I got it? It was horrific but really shaped up! Julia, I have always been pleased with my Spacecoast daylilies. They seem to do pretty well for me and as for beauty, you can't beat um'.. I have around 20 I guess!! I don't know how they will do in your are though... Thank you both!!! Ellie

One thing, I'd hope you remember--medical science has advanced by leaps and bounds since your dd was a child. I know, even with a procedure my DH had about 5 years ago, and had to have repeated this year, there was vast improvement. I'd be willing to bet that the treatment today is better and hopefully more effective than what you were told many years ago. Wishing your daughter the best. As to your other news--Fantastic, the very best to you and your children.

Woodside Romance is great. Sorry to hear about SC, but if you love it more power to you.

How can you complain about that huge clump of SC. It looks great to me. Love the sweet potato vines, I have both of those, the green one grows like a weed here. I get them every year.

Woodside Romance is beautiful - love that color! Your Strawberry Candy is more pink than any I've seen around here - it looks very healthy too.

Your annual pot is so pretty! I wish my Strawberry Candy would bloom like that. I think it just doesn't like my soil. It's one that I have in my garden. I guess some good compost would help a lot.

Your photos are pretty. Thanks for sharing, Mona

I am sure you got your money's worth with that huge clump of Strawberry Candy, especially since it is one you really like. Woodside Romance is lovely. I was checking out the actual Woodside Nursery for several DLs I would like but they are not shipping since the DLs do not meet their specs. I will probably try next season.
Thanks for sharing. Jane

Lovely summer pot of flowers. Artfully put together. WR is such a beautiful color. Now that you have the "fever" I expect to see a lot more of your photos.

What a nice combination of plants you've put together in your container. Your daylilies are so pretty. Woodside Romance is a real attention grabber.

Thanks for the compliments on the annual pot! I worked for a private gardener one summer many years ago and my job was to do the annual pots and take care of them all summer. They ordered truck loads of gorgeous and rare annuals for their customers. I WISH I had access to something more interesting, but I make due (sp?) with what the local nurseries sell.... geraniums, million bells, licorice, potato vines, petunias, etc...

I have 2 of these pots in my back done the same way and every year all I do is change the color of the million bells and geranium. It always comes out nice, but I think I'm getting bored with the same design every year.

Oops, sorry to go on... thanks!
