Margo Reed Indeed

Charles Trommer with Dark Monkey. Charles Trommer has bloomed it's head off this year.

Joan Derifield - depending on how your screen displays color but it should look more red than purple

Outrageous - I think was better last year but still great.

Chicago Apache just started and look at all those buds.

Caribbean Whipped Cream is huge.

Emporer's Choice looking good. Blooms low but so bright.

Broadway Gal really budded up this year.

Lady Liz just started but lot of buds. I'll post a better pic next week.

Insider Trading loving the clouds today.

Best in Class looking good.

Desperado Love all stuck together.

Rue Madelaine

Russian Rhapsody with Cherry Cheeks (need to move too short there) with Buttered Popcorn and the orange in the left top corner is Alabama Jubilee

You have some outstanding clumps this season. I love the look of Margo Reed Indeed with the coneflowers. I think the last photo is my favorite because it has so many colors and shapes in it. I especially liked your reds!

It's hard to choose a favorite since they are all so gorgeous, but I guess I'll say Joan Derifield. I recently saw that one blooming in a garden and decided I needed to add it to my want list.

I had to laugh yesterday - I thought I'd planned my garden orders pretty well, so that the daylilies would arrive in early May, and I'd be able to plant them myself, right away. SO, guess what arrived yesterday? A box of daylilies. I forgot that I'd done a small order from GHWild quite a while ago, for a few things from one of their great sales. Here I am, unable to bend down to pick up things I've dropped, with a box of daylilies to plant. Phooey. Fortunately, my friend Becky was coming to visit that day, and she planted them for me. I pointed, she planted. Aren't friends great? My little box contained: 'Route Sixty Six,' 'Black Friar,' 'Moorish Beauty,' and a bonus of 'Alice in Wonderland.' They were decent divisions of 3-4 smaller fans each, a little dried out but healthy otherwise. I doubt they'll bloom this year, but I might get a pleasant surprise. Laurel

We KNEW PJ had an ulterior motive for jogging. It's to check out the neighbors plants so they can go snatch them later. Good idea. I walk the dogs for that reason but I could cover more ground jogging. Thanks for the tip. During the Historical Homes Tour -first 2 weekends in May-Our neighborhood association is having a plant sale. I am the lead! So come on down and BUY some plants and see an old house or 12. Then go raid my yard and see another old house, this one a "restoration in progress". It's getting so you can't walk. With all the rain & great weather the yard has gone NUTS, kind of like this site. Tally HO!

Indeed it is Lisa. We need some new regulars here. I remember a few years ago when this forum used to be more alive. You have a good outlook on things too! The nestings season will be here before you know it! My blues typically show back around in late February/ early March, but I've heard them around sooner too. Can't wait to kick off my 7th season with these guys! May 2013 be a successful season for all bluebirders! ~Tim~

I remember the first time I saw Desparado Love: She beckoned across a crowded garden, and I knew "That one's coming home with me." Your picture reminds me of that moment.

Wonderful! I especially like the last photo, jam packed with flowers - perfect. Your Insider Trading is so pretty, my small clump only put up one scape this year for some reason, hoping for better next year!

A festive bunch. I especially like the pics of Desperado Love (a bouquet) and Rue Madeline (a long swath). And then a circus-like finale in the last pic.

that last pic you posted is beautiful. My Russian Rhapsody is one of my earliest bloomers and my Cherry Cheeks one of my last, so I never seem them together!
