Pamela, thank you and I promise to write it down this time. :-) Blackcatgirl, your Elle is very pretty. I agree, Gean has a wonderful way with words. Patricia, I can assure you that you do not want to see a photo of my garden right now. The spots have spots. The big picture isn't lovely but there are areas that are beautiful in the midst of the general untidiness from falling leaves and fungal ridden roses. My RdO didn't rebloom very well until the past two years. She took a long time to get around to blooming much but she has been constantly blooming this summer. Always a few blooms, often lots of blooms. Do you think she would do better with a little more time? It's good to see you posting. I miss you! Lordy Hamp, that is a gorgeous big ole girl. She really does like the south. Post as many "huge" pictures as you would like. I've got to remember the "Monster Tillier" :-)My LH has also covered herself with buds just in the past two days. Her last hurrah I guess. I love it that you managed to talk Randy into a rose just as a side note.... Thank you Randall, I'll try to find that lavender. Where you gonna put your Ducher? :-) Lux, I love jasmine. I have Carolina and Confederate jasmine. I wish I could grow lemons here. When I was in California, Carol made us the most wonderful lemon dessert from Meyer lemons from her very own tree. I was most impressed. Your garden sounds lovely. I love reading about all of your gardens! Off to bed. Another long day of work tomorrow. Carol

You have a bunch of really pretty unmarked daylilies, but the calla lily and the green rose stole the show for me. The green rose is just really very different. I'd love to see a few more pics of it, like maybe what the whole bush looks like. And calla lilies have always been one of my favorite flowers. Casey

Marcia, mine does not get a chance to spread. It is in the middle of the garden and DH loves to till. Sometimes I wish it would spread a bit. I think I might dig some of it up and plant it out in the field away from the reaches of the tiller. When I was growing up there was a big patch on the side of the road. I just loved it. Honalee, I usually collect some seeds. Let me know if you want some. Marg

I can still drag things out of my lone functioning memory cell on occasion and this was it - lol! I still think something happened in the shipping from one country to another country regarding x-raying the contents of the envelope. You are getting some great seedlings - keep planting. Brooke
