Sometimes it is difficult to have the patience with one that just isn't showing up the way you know it should. But this time Joan Senior had a happy ending blooming like crazy for you this year.

What a cute little guy. We don't ever have any lizards here at all, I guess we are too far north. I like them when they are small like that.

Rita,
These stay samll, and change colrs from green to brown. I have slightly larger ones, and some that are about five inches long some with bright blue racing strips and some with yellow stripes (horizontal) I am always happy to see lizards because they eat bugs. Now if they would just come out and early and eat thrips...

Yes, that's a critter I've never seen here. Nice contrast with the white.

Now that is a great photo Kay.

A fantastic photo!

My Joan Senior also bloomed this year! Not a lot of blooms and buds are all deformed but flowers open nicely. I don't think it is going to rebloom here though ;)
Saw lots of lizards when I was a child, if I remember we were even catching them but right now I'd be too scared and probably run away :) Well, there are no lizards here anyway.

I used to have those anoles as pets, kept them in a planted vivarium with some red-eyed tree frogs. The males have pink flaps on their throats they flash to other males to let them know to back off, this is my territory. Fast little buggers to catch, too.

We have had those lizards here, but haven't seen any in the last few years. Maybe our cats have something to do with that? I think Joan Senior is one I may have to get, I have a list of oldies but goodies I want to add to my garden.

Thanks everyone for looking and commenting.
The lizards are very plentiful here. I don't use insecticides, (fungicides, I use) so I guess there is plenty of food for them. I see several most days on my way to the back gardens.

Maric, maybe it's too cold for them there.

Thank you for the nice compliments, Julia and Ingwe4 (Sweden huh? Welcome) I was lucky to have the camera with me.

Nat4b, how old is your Joan Senior? I had mine for two seasons of not much bloom, but last year and this year, look out!

Very interesting, Karen.

I don't know, ngraham. I have several cats in the yard on a regular basis, and the lizard populace hasn't suffered.

Great photo! We have lots of lizards and frogs here, but they never take up residence on my daylilies.

Debra

Thanks Debra,
I occasionally see lizards on my daylilies. I think I posted one in the brown phase earlier. I usually don't have a camera with me.

I love anoles, I used to keep them in a vivarium too. So cute to see one in the wild not a pet store. Few lizards in Oregon. I miss them from Arizona.

Cute critter!

Mine is 3 years old. Never bloomed until this year, but increased nicely. I'll see next year :)

Thanks buyorsell and Chris. I never get very far in the garden (or the greenhouse) without one of the little one skittering past.

nat4b, I bought my Joan Senior (and planted it, of course) in 2008. In 2010, it did some nice blooming, then rebloomed so I kept it. This year, it has been a continuous bloomer...and as soon as it's continuous bloom was almost done, it sent up 2 loaded rebloom spikes. My first pictures of her were taken on May 29th, and she has bloomed continuously since then.

I've had Joan Senior for about 2 years now with no blooms maybe there is hope yet.
Linda

Thanks, Kay, that's encouraging. While I won't hope for any rebloom, I will expect better blooming next year!
