Here are more pictures taken yesterday morning as I only posted a few last night and have all these left to post.

Chicago Apache. Fabulous red.

Harlans Pride. Dale Thomas late bloomer.

Kenora Wildfire. You all must know by now that I love this daylily.

The late bloomers bed looks fantastic! It has so many blooms and so much color! Victoriana and Kenora Wildfire are my favorites. Harlans Pride looks like a very nice late red. Your Coral Majority is much lighter than mine was this year. In previous years mine was somewhat lighter. This year it was more of a red orange.

The late bloomers bed is filled with buds! Harlan's Pride looks great, and yes, Kenora Wildfire is terrific.

Luna she hasn't lost any of her enthusiasm bt any means. She is so excited to go to each stop. She knows that there are new sights and adventures and is ready to go. Of course she told me that she gets all the rest she needs between stops. That is why she is so energetic. She also insisted on wearing the outfit you got her to the great stae of Texas so she would be ready to go when the box was open. Uh oh watch out, it sounds like she will be a hand full lol Kat

Own root shrub Vs. climber... SDLM ... Need help please

Hi Jerijen, The rose was either mislabeled and actually is SDLM or they sent the wrong plant; a SDLM Climber. I realized the error yesterday and sent an e-mail as they were closed yesterday. I am hoping that the plants were just mis-labeled, but if it is an error, I feel pretty confident that a correction will be made, as the supplier is a reputable company. If a mistake was made, it could have been avoided by reading what was on the invoice versus their tag; it clearly does not match. If this was an error; someone dropped the ball so to speak and we are all human, but it is an inconvenience for me the customer and my hubby potted up the incorrect roses for me. The SDLM is for my garden in Las Vegas, but I have no real use for a climber ( could possibly find a home for two of them) and contemplated sending the incorrect plants to my sister- in -law in Ventura if the supplier does not want them returned; I am not sure what their exact protocol would be, but this same supplier sent a rather unhealthy plant that died and they are sending a replacement in October; kind of apples and oranges in that one plant is dead and the other three are healthy just incorrect so I have no point of reference. After your advice, should I remain left with the incorrect roses, I will not send a SDLM CL to my sister in law as it would not be carefree in her garden. If the roses are not replaced then I will definitely seek recourse and never order plants from the supplier again; but I have no reason to believe that this will be the scenario with them regarding this situation.

Thank you Debra.I love this Torenia plantI use to have one years ago,and forgot to bring it in the first winter I had it and thought it had died, but, in the spring I found a bunch of little plants coming up and gowing, but,I finally had lost all of it,so I was very happy when I found a plant at our local nursery that only opens up a few months each spring.its a member of the African violet group, but,it tolerates a little sun very good.Thanks for your comments on the daylilies. MANTIS: yes the TORENIA plant tolerates heat very well, just not a lot of hot sun, but it does like a little sunshine.Have to be careful with the watering and not over water it.Thats how I have killed several of them, over watering.let it dry out before watering again.and yes,it does like a little early morning sunshine or late evening.just not in the hottest part of the day,it needs in the shade, then. This little kitty can be just a barrel of laughs..Every morning when it hears my front door unlock and open, it just comes from out of no where, just jumping up and down like a bucking horse, and it sits there waiting for its food it knows I am bringing. it sits there looking up at me,and moving b ackwards each step I make.It wants to be first to get its head in the bowl to eat, as the mother is always waiting by the step each morning, too.Shes wild and wont let me get too close to her, but, shes very pretty grey tabby. jean

Late bloomers bed looks great! I love all your beautiful flowers today, especially Kenora Wildfire and Coral Majority. Love the shot of Chicago Apache with coneflowers and all the green around.

The problem is that the late bloomer bed there has been blooming and it is much, much too early in the year for them. Well, can't change it so might as well enjoy them while they are here.

Absolutely smashing colors on these, love them all. What is the plant blooming behind Hot Tamales and Red Hots? The flowers remind me of salvias, and I know you love salvias, too. I think I must begin to add some really hot colors to our garden. You are definitely an enabler, Rita--it's all your fault showing me these gorgeous flowers---LOL!!! Avedon

Avedon, that is Walkers Low Catmint. They are in the terraces garden and the Carmint is planted in the terrace top of the daylilies. Wonderful plant, full of blue flowers that always bloom.

Jean, HOT TAMALES AND RED HOTS is a new favorite of mine. I just love it.

Beautiful Rita. Hot Tamales And Red Hots is definitely a favorite here too. So glad I got it when I did as I heard from Annette that she is, or nearly is, sold out of it.
The back bed looks fabulicious :-).

Oh my all those reds and hot ones! No way could I pick one, but I really like Kenora Wildfire, Chicago Apache, Hot Tameles and Red Hots, Coral Majority, and...well, you get the picture. Fabulous post.

Lots of beautiful color there, and very appropriate color range for the "lates" (which I tend to think of as "hotter").

I think that my preference would still be for the pastel "Victoriana", though "Kenora Wildfire" is interesting.

(Looking at all of your garden pictures, it looks like you've got different cultivars planted very close together. How far apart are they, and are they far enough apart that you have no problems distinguishing the clumps when it comes time to divide and propagate? I ask because its hard to tell from the pictures.)

Julia, I didn't know she was sold out of HOT TAMALES AND RED HOTS but it wouldn't surprise me as this daylily is so pretty.

Kay, you and me both. We both love the hot ones :-))

Polymerous, everything is crammed in my garden. I have never had any problems telling which clump is which but the only time you can see ground between them is in early spring before they grow out.

Jason, thanks. I do have a lot of hot colors.

I think I love the Chicago Apache the best but that's hard to say as they are all excellent! Love your new one Hot Tamales And Red Hots also.

Glad you and yours came thru the storm O.K. and so sad to of heard about the people injured at the park. Just right across your street, scary!

So many stunners! I think New Covenent & Hot Tamales are my favorites, Kenora Wildfire is really pretty too. And Up against the Sun. The last photo is wonderful, you really have a lot still in bloom. Many of mine are finished & the remaining ones are on their last buds. I do have a few more that are going to rebloom soon, so I will have something. I'm so glad there are still people on the forum who still have lots, I do enjoy the photos.

Some for Thursday
