Fabulous as always. My PARADISE CITY just started blooming here the other day also. Strange since your daylilies usually get going much earlier than mine. Of couse I bought mine from pictures on the (Maryotts) website but I think its actually much prettier in person and in garden pictures. I like the soft coloring on it and your picture just captures it wonderfully.

Gorgeous, gorgeous photos. That's the best photo I've seen of Paradise City.

So what does Royal Passion look like for you when it's not so blue? That looks like one I might need to add.

Thanks all, I really love that zinnia zowie flame. want lots and lots of them next year. The zinnia old mexico will look better planted in huge clumps, something like a bunch of HOS, together. Lynne, I don't really know how the Livingston daisies will hold up. Last year they melted here too when it got hot an humid, but I also had them in an area that didn't drain as well as some others and they like it a bit dryer in soil. This year I have them planted in some different areas as well as where they where last year, and so far so good. They also have a bit more shade this year than last year. I love their flowers, so bright and cheery to see every day. I do hope they hold up this year. Maybe you should try locating them in more shade next year and see if that helps them last longer. Fran

Donna - I have a lot of confidence that you will find some time to "play" next week, enjoy the time off! Besh - I agree, don't get frustrated, we have all been there and if you keep behaving it will only be a temporary gain. Suzanne - I love tarragon too, also rosemary. Dee - one of our closest friends is a dentist. I always ask him how it feels to have so many people afraid of you. He is one of the nicest men I know and I can only imagine that he is very gentle and compassionate as a dentist. He lives over an hour away or I would go to him. Marci - I have my gyn appointment in a couple of weeks - I dread it too, but necessary. How is DD doing (and you)? I can't wait to see DD#1 in a few weeks! Patti - if you are reading, we miss you, hope you are having fun being a grandma LOL. My MIL had been visiting since Sunday, she was suppose to leave on Sunday but became very bored and left today. I guess my BIL's house is more exciting (thank goodness). You can't even believe all the things we did with her and she is still bored. She had her hair done, we took her shopping, out on the boat, out to breakfast twice, out to lunch another day and out to dinner one night. DH went into work late so they could spend time together and 20 family members were with us Sunday and Monday. I wish I had time to get bored. QOD - No agenda and I hope it stays that way. I haven't had my house to myself since last Friday and it feels good to just be home. As much as I go out I am really a homebody at heart. Friends are coming up from FL tomorrow evening, so we will probably go boating if the weather permits. Enjoy your weekend.

Marci, is that a trick question? I can't see any animal! The pictures are just magnificent. I have to agree with everyone else. The eel gives me the creeps. Maddie, so glad to see you again. I am happy that everyone is on the mend. OK, so Paul McCartney was amazing!!!! He is 67 years old and sang for 2 1/2 hours without taking a sip of water or a break. His band took a break and he pulled out the ukelele and kept on singing while they were gone. I loved Fenway Park. It was my first time there and I think my heart skipped a beat when I first walked in. It is beautiful. I am definitely going back for a ball game! Speaking of Lobsta! Tonight we are having some!!! Our first this summer. We are going out on the boat with some other couples with their boats and will raft up and have ourselves a feed! I am looking forward to a great evening. Suzanne, love the fox. You take the best pictures! My mom says she has one that has been coming around her house and she is concerned about her cat because she sleeps out on the deck all day in the sun. Dee I laughed right out loud with Marci's comment about the monkey looking in your office window. Being the animal lover that you are (NOT!), I would love to be a fly on the wall if that were actually to happen!! You know we love you, right? I should get off of the computer now. I only have about 1 million things to do today. Have a great weekend all! (((HUGS))) all around. oxBesh

Chris - Maybe you like Paradise City better in this photo because the sun is washing out the light pink petal color. The eye and edge did look more rose colored yesterday than ever before.

This is only the second bloom on ROYAL PASSION. I didn't remember it blooming before, but it must have because there's a pod on it. Then I found a photo of it. I don't know if I took it or my dh did. I might have seen it at 5 a.m. the day I left for Mecca. The first photo looks pretty blue too. As you know, the "blues" always look bluer in early morning or late evening light. On a very humid, 95-degree day, ROYAL PASSION just looked like a very washed out lavender by 2 p.m. It's still in a pot. Maybe it will hold its color better when its in the ground. A lot of the blue-eyes fade badly on hot days.

PARADISE CITY most of the time

You've done it again. Great pictures of some pretty daylilies. The photo of Techny Peach Lace in particular caught my eye. I Like the edges and color combo on that one.

Rita - I don't know why your Paradise City is blooming so early for you. Mine started blooming last Thursday, and this is late for me. It was more of a midseason than late bloomer the first two years I had it.

You have so many beauties! I love American Doll - how does it do for you - does it usually look this perfect? I also especially like Paradise City and Pastilline. Thanks for sharing these!

Julie - JULIE NEWMAR is one of my Top 10 favorite daylilies. She is great in every way. WITCH'S STICK is a very nice late bloomer for the spidery part of the garden. I would highly recommend both.

Juliet - I just got AMERICAN DOLL this spring, and I only had seven buds. But every flower opened early, flat and looking good. I imagine next year's blooms will be bigger and even more ruffled. So far, so good.

Debra- Your first photo of PARADISE CITY looks exactly like it does in my garden, that softer color and quite white. The second shot were it is a much hotter pink doesn't look anything like mine blooming here.

I don't know why its blooming so early either. Maybe it will get into blooming later in the season next year.
