LMAO Lucy!!! I have always thought they were cool looking, but I have never had a Leopard Slug in my yard before. Last night when the power was out, and the rain & lightning slowed a bit I went out to check out the damage..I had already cleaned up once yesterday and was dreading what I may find that time..well, since my yard was flooded I went out barefoot...I STEPPED ON THAT HUGE THING WITH MY BARE FEET!! It was dark, and I thought, O no, another brug bud flew off it's plant..Used the camera to get some light from the red eye reduction light..and saw THAT! O man, he was huge! I stepped on him so hard, I hurt him internally and he died 2 hours later. Of course I wasnt carrying that thing into the back porch in my hand, he was just toooo big, so I grabbed a plate from under a plant to bring him in to show the kids. NO we do NOT eat off the slug plate, and nor will we EVER! LMAO!! Thats my son's hand in the pic, he pretended to kiss it and I dang near puked! I knew there was something big living in the garden, I have had really big half dollar sized holes in some of the brug leaves. Giant chunks missing from the edges. I hope he was the only one..yeah, I know, but a girl can hope! thanks Siam :)

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

Thanks everybody! Yeah Bustopher, we're definitely in a drought situation. We didn't get enough rain to build up hardly any snowpack in the upper Sierras. Not much run-off, so the creeks and reservoirs are getting extremely low. We're on every-other-day water rationing. They initially wanted us to cut back water use by 20-25% which for me is fine, because I over-watered last yr. So far, the roses are doing ok.

After I bought Stormy Monday, I thought, Why did I buy this? The pictures I had seen of it didn't impress me much, and thought that if I didn't like it, it'll probably be going bye bye. But, I love it! It's different from anything else I have, and it's going to stay. I wanted to put Mildred Mitchell's pollen on Celtic Voices today, but her anthers, along with some others, didn't want to open today, I guess because it's overcast and now raining, which the cross probably wouldn't have taken with the rain anyway. I have one bud left on MM (she's new this year) so I'm hoping CV will open a flower at the same time as MM and on a nicer day, so I can do the cross, but if not there's always next year.

Once upon a time I didn't think I liked dark daylilies, but I like them more and more so Invitation to Immortality is my favorite with Romanian Rendezvous a close second.

I'm a little behind in reading all the posts but you've got a nice selection of daylilies.
I've been thinking about adding MARISKA. How well does it do for you?
STORMY MONDAY is a nice shape and color. Have you wintered it over yet?

I really like Celtic Voices and Mary Alice Stokes.

Little Red Dragon looks nice, too; but I'm a little more suspicious of it. (I've seen so many darling pictures - and ugly flowers - of Dragon's Eye, that I'd want to see it in person first).

Gorgeous blooms, as usual!
Romanian Rendezvous looks like it's dressed for a HOT DATE!
My favorite is Mildred Mitchell. Just planted that one this year...hasn't bloomed yet.

Mariska seems to be doing ok, her substance on her flowers is thin, though. A little bit of water and she melts away, and starts to melt away in the afternoon. Stormy Monday made it through the winter great. Most of my daylilies were new last year, with a few new ones this year, and most made it through the winter with no problems. I lost a couple and a few struggled to get going this spring, but Stormy Monday had no problems at all.

I have both Dragon's Eye and Little Red Dragon, and to be honest, I don't see much difference between the two flowers. Both are too new for me to judge quite yet, but I think Dragon's Eye puts out more blooms. They both look great to me, but I actually prefer Dragon's Eye.

Everyone else, thank you for the nice compliments!
