Thanks everyone. I actually would love to havce the room like I used to have for my tomatoes and such. But the need to plant more flowers just got too strong. Plus that entire mid bed section was surrounded by daylily plants and the tomatoes just didn't look reallly pretty and spoiled the views looking accross. So by-by veggie garden. I made part of it into its own bed of nothing but late and extra late blooming daylilies. Then I have a really nice Tall Bearded iris bed that holds way over 100 plants (have to count them but there are three rows of iris). There are small sections for annuals in rows and a large row of dutch iris and then lots of lovely daylilies. I love it the way it looks now. Jean- I tried some tomatoes in pots last year but didn't like that so I never did it again. I have a smaller amount of tomatoe plants and some cucumbers but it is enough for me.

I arrange my daylilies two different ways - I have some raised beds with just daylilies in them [these were to be for seedings, but I filled them up with things I "had" to have off the Lily Auction.....] I don't have them in any kind of order except a few, like from Gayle Story, are in the same area. They all look great together as the lilies don't all bloom at the same time. The other way I place my daylilies is among my roses, annuals and perennials. They really look fabulous when they bloom along with the roses and other flowers. I am picky about my beds - they are edged, weeded and watered and I keep my daylily foliage trimmed to look neat. These beds are really showy in spring when the lilies bloom. When bloom time is over, I intersperse annuals that bloom all summer and the foliage adds depth to the bed. In my "just daylilies" raised beds, once bloomtime is over, no more color so I have started putting big pots of annuals at the ends of the raised beds to continue to have some color. Next year, I think I will grow some potted hot peppers as well. I think daylilies look good just mixed - the dark ones look good next to the light ones. I don't know that there are any bad combinations - just individual preference. Guess you could do an all yellow bed [with different varieties], an all red bed, an all purple/lavender bed........I happen to be partial to lavenders and pinks.......keep the pinks in a bed where I have contrasting lavender flowers like salvia - really pretty. I think the daylilies look so pretty with other flowers with contrasting colors that I really prefer a mixed bed - yellows with lavender salvia or red petunias, purple with white lantana, etc. I can hardly believe I still have lilies blooming here on Sept. 24 - my gorgeous Karin Cooke [new for me this year and a real favorite] and Magic Amethyst. What a treat! I couldn't help it, I dabbed pollen...this will no doubt be the last cross of the year. Have fun with your lilies - no matter how you place them, they will be gorgeous! Judith

Karen, Thank you for helping me look! I'm looking it up right now, and... argh! It is so close! 'Elizabeth Francis Woodall' has black tips on the stamens while mine seem a brownish/orange and a EFW has a very light yellow edging to the ruffles. The rest of the coloring is dead on. Going to check out 'Broadway Pink Slippers' and... that is much pinker than mine. Thank you for the name of that daylily nursery. I'll keep looking through their dl's. What a great assortment! Alana, I love baby shops. When Gymboree opened here I was having a blast picking up little outfits for my daughter and niece. Love that girly stuff. I hope things go quickly for you in Dayhoit. Never heard of it either. Thanks be for Google, eh? It has helped me get in and out of places that were too small for most gas station maps. Hurry home and keep an eye on these thieves. Hey Vic! We have rentals here in Cleveland and Lakewood. One is our old house that we used to live in. The guys are usually late with the check and it takes a phone call or two. Once they switched to new cell phones and I did have to drive over there. Nothing like me showing up with a van full of kids to make them want to get that check there a little quicker. Want me to drive to Michigan. Shouldn't be more than a couple hours. I'll threaten them with having to babysit. That might do it. I'm sorry about what happened with Jamie's job. Ed's customers are pretty slow paying right now. I told him he better start getting some money up front. It drives me crazy when he floats the cost of materials and they take forever to pay him at the end of the job. He is finally starting to listen to me about it. Deb, I think no one wants the game to end. They all know it's over when your box gets grabbed. LOL! Does the garage sale start tomorrow? I hope you have a great turn out and the weather stays beautiful for it. Sweet Dreams! Nighty night Sassy, sweet dreams to you too.

Here's the numbers so far #1 1 #2 1 #3 4 #5 4 #6 0\ #7 0 #8 1 #9 4 #10 0 #11 0 #12 4 #13 0 I will double check these before the end of the month! Lisa
