Deangreen, that is a birdhouse sold by Rock City. We had to almost rebuild it to make it stable, but I like it because of memories of barns with "see Rock city" signs painted on the roofs. Nat4b, Cast Your Crown is not a large bloom, but packs a lot into the space. Thanks, Jean. That's too bad. A couple of my daylilies took some damage, but I didn't lose any. I did lose so0me roses though. Maryl, The hot pink is Wall of fire, and the red to the right of it is a Munson called African Plum...it is red, but has some purplish hues in it as the light strikes it. I am enjoying Gus, since he likes to keep me company when I'm in the garden...especially when I pick blueberries for some reason. Ikad, it is another small bloom, but such a pretty one. Mantis, he is a pretty little cat. Much smaller than my indoor tabbies. I don't know how it is, but the path isn't as spacious as it once was. I am planning a change in the big front bed this fall. I plan to move the large lilies to another area and plant daylilies and hecheras there. Mantis is right, Chris. that is Wall of Fire...it is an eye-catching bloom and is little bothered by thrips. No, Juliana, Rocks Cry Out and Cast Your Crown are both toothy, but The colors are similar. CYC is about half the size bloom as RCO. RCO has a two color effect to the petals, but not the sepals, (bitone) and CYC had the same color on petals and sepals. CYc has is toothy on sepals and petals. See below for comparison. CYC is much smaller and is red with the golden toothy edge: Because of the color similarity and the toothiness, I'm sure they are "kin", but haven't looked them up. As for being at peak, I have a lot of plants already putting up instant rebloom so who knows how it will end up. I'm sending as many daylilies as he will take home with my brother this week. He is coming up from Shreveport and wants some daylilies. kay

Heres a few more i am liking. Starfish Moon X Woman at the Well. Spacecoast Sweeteyes X Woman at the Well. Leroy X Journey to Jupiter. Journey makes huge flowered seedlings although most are pod sterile like dad.

I love your Paradise Found too!!! It's my favorite rose!! It's my avatar. The fragrance is intoxicating!!! Love your photo!!! I love the different faces of this rose!!! Cecil Brunner is amazing!!!! So many flowers!! I just can't imagine having that here in my yard. I'd probably faint. :) Pope John Paul II looks stunning!!! Wow!! Carol

I just discovered this gallery and liked that one can just post photos. Hopefully, more will discover and check it out on a regular basis.... like I now plan to do. I would be happy to have people view and enjoy my collection.... as I always enjoy seeing other collector's cactus and succulents.
