ANN: Yes,HEARTS OF FIRE does seem to be sunfast.Its just as bright and pretty at sundown as it was early in the day.It really is a gorgeous Red. JANET; I love looking at all the blooms too,and don't care if they have been posted before.They still new photos to me and I love seeing them..Yea,It was a miracle that the Vet and I saved Snoopy.She was n othing but skin and bones when she returned home,and I didn't know where this strange cat came from.And she was so so dirty.I kept standing there, looking down at her,asking "WHO ARE YOU?" "WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?" and she kept looking up at me,and I finally said "SNOOPY, IS THAT YOU?" She meowed so pitiful,I opened the door,and she tried to come in,and was having a hard time,so I picked her up,thinking I hope you are not some strange cat I am bringing in,when I don't know whats wrong with you.BUT, after I brought her in,and the way she looked me in the eye,I knew it was my snoopy.It was a sunday and the vet wasn't open on a sunday.I called a friend and asked if there is a way to reach the vet on a sunday,and he told me can call him at home,and I told him my snoopy has come home, but her leg is broken and I need the vet for her. So my friend called the vet at home,and then called me back,and said the vet is coming to his office in a little while.Then my friend came and drove me and snoopy to the vet.I was a wreck, worrying about my cat.Then the vet said her leg has to come off as its crushed, can't fix it like a broken leg, but, I have to feed her and put some weight on her,because right now she wouldn't survive.And I said you mean she has to stay in pain like this till I can fatten her up again? and he assured me she was not in no pain.So,it was about 10 days before he could do surgery on her.Her tail is broken too,about a inch or so from her body, but the vet says it be ok,as long as its not in the way when shes in the litter box.So far,shes doing great. RITA, I am the same way.Long as its a picture of a daylily,I don't care how many times its been posted. KAY, I always been told that several means 2 or 3. NANCY;What do you spray them with for Thrips? SHARON; The vet told me that after a few weeks,Snoopy will be running through the house like she has all 4 legs.I was so worried that she wouldn't be able to get around with just 3 legs. The vet was right.I have her mother, too,but,shes a outdoor cat.She don't like to stay in the house,and really I can't turn my back on her when shes inside.She likes to claw up furniture and howls to get out. Snoopy don't bother the furniture and has a very soft meow. VICKIE AND VAL; Thank you for the comments. Jean

Thanks for the comments. I do not think that Kazanlak is a showy rose, its charm is in her fragrance. Today one bee stayed for a long time drinking its fragrance: >

Well, they sure are pretty blooms! I'll be happy for cooler weather too! They are saying we have a big chance of rain today and tonight here in Georgia. This lack of rain for the last couple of years has been hard. Thanks for sharing what you DO have! April

Cameroon Night is looking good. It's always been a good rebloomer for me. So maybe you will get some rebloom scapes that are taller and better budded. I didn't do as much photographing as usual either since the heat was building up quickly. Debra
