The slope looks wonderful Rita, a fitting tribute to your hard work. Bob Marley is one of my favorite musicians, I think his namesake daylily is great. CARNIVAL IN MEXICO is awesome, I love it.

Edward - I've seen your photos of Victorian Lace, and they always look beautiful. Mine doesn't get full sun, so I don't get the best bud count possible. But the foliage is some of the best in the garden this year, so I count myself lucky. Rita - I consider myself lucky to have so many volunteer rudbeckias this year. That one may actually be two plants that have grown together since it seems to have both plan and eyed flowers. They really brighten the place up, and keep blooming for a few weeks after the daylilies are done. Kay - Thanks! I love all three of those, and pretty much everything else that's blooming. LOL Ben - Grape Twizzler is having a tremendous season. I'm very pleased with it. Bigack - I notice the two you picked were trios. Everything's better in threes, I think. Linda - I'm not usually drawn to the hot colors, but Inca Prince always grabs me. Blue-Eyed Butterfly is one of Lambertson's best. Casey - You are right about the Walking In Beauty triplets. The lower one is not identical in color to the other two. I suspect that fan either gets less water, or more sun, or both, than the fans of the other two. Cindy and Nancy G. - Blue-Eyed Butterfly remains one of my top three favorite Lambertsons, even though it no longer reblooms where I have it planted. I just love that triangular pattern on the eye! Wren-Garden - I hate to say this, but the daylilies in the garden where Victorian Lace is growing didn't get any fertilizer last fall or this spring. I'm only "feeding" them hose water and rain water. Mantis - Yes, Earth Music is vigorous, even when it's planted in part shade. My neighbor's trees and shrubs are shading mine so much I didn't know if it would bloom at all. But it's putting on a pretty good show. It doesn't have the branching and buds it did before the cherry tree went in on the other side of the fence, but it's hanging in there. Debra

Kay- You know I try to make my garden prettier each year. In general I think its working :-)) Lesley- I have some things I don't do well with. I have an aweful time trying to grow Dahlias for insteance. Tried again this year after a break of two years due to my misteable efforts. Better you don't see my misterable excuse of dahlia plants. I also do lousey at starting all but the most simple and easy seeds. Oh well, we can't be perfect LOL! Nancy- I am glad you have break time and want to spend it looking at my garden and daylily pictures. And all of you, I do appreacite the compliments.

FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC - LOST IN SPACE part 2
Q

I had temporarily forgotten about this song, definitely about Space: When I saw Human League at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco circa 1981, English tourists had bought most of the tickets and so many locals were unable to attend, since the theater is not that large. The English tourists were also very animated and danced in front of their seats during most of the concert instead of sitting, and so I had to stand up to see the stage, and I had a very good seat. All seats were reserved, and so people had to stay in their reserved spaces. I found the group a bit arrogant in their attitude toward the audience, and they said they were shocked when they walked the streets in New York and no one recognized them. They were appreciated in San Francisco but not idolized the way they were in England, and this was a disappointment for them.

Rita,
All are great; but I am so drooling over Bass Gibson.
As soon as the price goes down a wee bit that is #1 on my want list.

I paid a fortune for my BASS GIBSON in the fall of 2008. The price never seems to come down much on that one. But its been a fabulous daylily for me. I wanted a daylily with teeth and I so got them on BASS GIBSON.

BOB MARLEY is a fairly big flower and such color. So it really stands out. I do really love this one. The picture of BASS GIBSON proves it doesn't need any extra pampering to look great and show those teeth and that edge. Mine just sits out in the garden there with the other daylilies.

Jean- The one by the fence is a Melanie Mason intro LONGLESSION SHOWOFF. Not sure why its so two tones there. Usually its more redder all over.
