Well, congrats at your A+ and now having some summer garden time.

I didn't know you had SWEET ISABELA. Mine just bloomed and I took some pictures still in the camera, hopefully something good enough to post.

Great daylilies blooming today!

Your MM is darker than mine have got so far lol- very pretty. My NOL usually turns as dark of orange as its gonna get by the third day. The first day sort of cream colored, the second-peach, the 3rd more orange. I have had a few deformed blooms on her when it is really hot or really rainy. She is my all time fav. brug!

Jill...you must have been posting at the same time I was, I missed you, sorry! :) Glad you enjoyed my dl's. Tammy...I'm sorry, I failed to answer your question about my camera. It's a Fuji Finepix S700. The macro and super macro capabilities are wonderful as is the 10x optical zoom. It really lets you get up close and personal with your blooms. LOL Shelly....I totally understand, my list just keep growing and growing and growing..kind of like that Energizer bunny, you know? :) I've had MM for a couple of years now, and it's really struttin it's stuff this season. FT is brand new and that was the FFO on it. It's one of my brightest dl's. Chris....You're gonna love AS, it's one of my favs, but then I've got so many fav's!! LOL Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed looking. Jan

Thank you all for the very gracious & complimentary replies. dreamgoddess -- I couldn't believe it when I got those cherubs for a total of $48.20 from Horchow...orig price was $188. + add'l ship $17.00 + ship + tax. I got them for 30% off clearance($66.00) and completely free ship. bettyd_z7_va & work_in_progress_08--I didn't start until about a week before Christmas because I was down with some bug--I wasn't sure if I would do the big tree or not, and then I got a burst of energy & creativity. I have 4 cats--one is eight months old, so I wanted things on the tree that wouldn't break if it went over or was attacked. ;-) Basically the tree is full of faux flowers. Normally when I do that Victorian look I also use my collection of white china birds too, but I didn't want to risk it--I would also use delicate ornaments as well. I don't buy much new, so I try and re-purpose or re-work what I have. Even though it the same old stuff--it becomes fresh again. Judith....I've had that throw for yrs and just decided to use it on the back of the sofa, normally it's on a chair. Truth is, I wish I had "layered" a bit more like getting bows on my Staff dog collection I store it all in a full attic with full staircase access, so that makes things easier when moving bins up and down, what slows me down is arthritis in hands and knees. I will take it all down over a period of time and don't rush it, otherwise it would be too overwhelming. Again, I don't want to stress my joints. I just noticed--the two cakes are actually 3-wick candles and I forgot to take off their wrappers. Jim

Congrat's on your good score!

Really nice bouquet of celebration here.

You really did a great job capturing VELVET EYES. Those dark red tones can be so hard to catch.

Velvet Eyes and Bubble Yummin Mamma catch my eyes. Very pretty. Isn't Bubble a Shooter intro?

Your photos always rate an A+. Your talent seems to include academics too. Love the dramatic colors of Velvet Eyes.

Thanks everybody!! I was real happy about my class being over... I really had to get up early every morning to fit in the pictures and hybridizing!

Maryl - Yep BYM is by John Shooter. It has come down to a pretty reasonable price now... but it took a while for mine to settle in and really start strutting her stuff.

Rita - I KNEW I just had to have it and when I went to visit Marietta Gardens, I bought it from Faye. Can't wait to see it next year when it is all established. The pink is pretty faded due to all the seriously hot (105+) weather we've been having here.

Julie - I probably have enough to share, remind me in the fall, and I could put some in a pot for ya for spring.

I agree on the congrats for the grades in all three areas!

I added BYM last fall because of this forum, and can't wait to see it here. No scapes yet...slugs are relentless on it...but if not this year then next. You do have my permission to keep posting pics of yours though! I may just steal one and print it out and put it by my fans as a form of motivation!

Your blooms are looking lovely! Hopefully now you will have the chance to enjoy them!
