Kathy; No, The Red Lilies are "Red Alert" Vickie:I agree with you,that I have wonderful daughters. 3 of them. Nancy: No I do not use a flash outside at all.Ms Blackie had her eyes squinted half shut, because the sun was very bright,and she had just walked out of bright sun into the shade.She dont act like the same cat that came here about 7 yrs ago.She was so wild and skinny,I could not get closer then 15 feet from her.She is still on the skinny side,even tho she eats good,she never puts much weight on. and yes, she really is content.She seems happiest when she can be near me and just looks me right in the eye and purrs very loud. Thank you Rita, I do love these Red lilies. I will have to bring this Pink rose outside and give it some sunshine,as it wont live long inside,and as it grows I will pot it in a bigger pot. I planted Hydrangeas in the ground years ago here and none of them lived,so wasnt going to take a chance with these two and put them in big pots.Well,the one is planted in a large plastic tub as you can see,and I just drilled a bunch of holes in the bottom for drainage.Besides these tubs was selling for $ 4,00 each at the time,and the big pots was $ 20.00.I plant tomatoe plants in these big tubs too each year and those tubs are now 10 yrs old,sitting in the sun all day, so they do last a long time, too. Them scapes are beautiful to me right now.Its hard to wait to see a bloom. Jean

Jan, do you remember how discusted I was with the blooms on Magnificent Hummingbird?? I was tempted to toss it in the words. Later on Re it bloomed and was very beautiful. That's probably what EOYS will do for you..Give it time.. I like your weirdy..UP. Very different. I haven't had time to breathe let alone post pix. I have tons I am working on so just you wait! Hehehe!! Thanks for sharing your pix. BTW. BB is looking really good! Ellie

Hah! I musta been tired when I posted this last night! Thought I was in the gallery! Oh well... Carol, I got BROCELIANDE several yrs ago from Hortico, long before Palatine and other places had it. It was in a bad area with not enough sun for a long time and didn't do much. Last yr I had to dig it out for the new leach lines and it was nearly dead at the time. It perked up and came back beautifully! It's happy in its new bed. Hope yours gets busy for you!! Laurie, ABRACADABRA and BROCELIANDE should be available in Europe. ATTACHE is an older florist rose. Not sure if it's available overseas or not. And yes, ODESSA, which is a mini, is a very purply-pink. They call it a "mauve" tho.

The rest of the pictures aren't daylilies, but at this time of year, you appreciate any flower that comes along. The hibiscus take a while to get going, but are blooming nicely now. This hibiscus is unnamed. Bob has been growing hibiscus since before I met him. Here are two he has had forever. Kona Improved Anderson's Double Yellow Red. The yellow part of the name is confusing until you look on the backside of the petals. The gingers are all in bloom too. This one is Hedychium "Tai Spirit'. Bob has another banana in bloom. This is Musa velutina. That's all for today. Nancy
