Very strange but there might be something to a rename thing. Trophytaker series has Jen Melon as Jen Melon. Oakes does not list their own Jen Melon but list Star Struck and is listed as Star Struck in the All American series. Why market one with one name in one series and then rename it in another series makes no sense to me, but it becoming to look like Jen Melon and Star Struck are one and the same. Whatever it is, it's a beauty. I have a feeling the Starstruck in my garden is Jen Melon aka Star Struck. One would think the industry could market a daylily under one name especialy if the reason for the name change is 'more marketable name' but then continue to market it under two names. Tanya, enjoy your daylily as I enjoy mine, it's a beauty and worthy of awards no matter what the industry decides to call it ;) Rhonda

Seems like you may have gotten the only one. Of course, the bulb that came out of the bag marked Kahlua, while it looks similar, isn't what you have. Even the current bulb, that was labeled H004 doesn't seem to be Kahlua either. My bulb is too pink, to my eye. Guess we may not figure this out. K

Oh, I finally have some pictures of pretty Jessica. It got dug out by a chipmunk after its initial planting last year and took a while to regenerate its roots. It over winter. Beautifully with no problem with the late spring frosts and is budding and blooming up the Storm at the moment. This Rose is just beautiful it has Sun all day but then dappled shade from the late afternoon on Word. I can see why it is such a well-loved rose. Please click to see full picture correctly. Budding up a storm. I'm deciding if I like this combination. Darcy boussole cell is leafless most of the year and Milano kolorscape is quite intense red. I had hoped to plant Flamenco Rosita here instead but it died. :-( It's not intense when seen next to its other neighbors though. Please excuse The topless bird bath. I need to adjust the base. It would be better with just Darcy but oh well.

Hire a designer to give you an overall plan for everything that you want done. A good designer is able to be helpful with everything you are contemplating. You didn't mention exterior landscaping and hardscaping - that is generally a different skill set but advising on colors for exterior or a house and stuff like that is generally handled by a designer. A good designer doesn't simply help you select furniture and arrange it for you. I did a gut remodel and my designer provided an entire design plan (including furniture and arrangement at the end). She drew up plans which were submitted to the city for permits AND to the GC for the bidding process. You can't get an accurate bid from a GC without detailed plans because otherwise they are not bidding on the actual project. You will pay for these kinds of plans but you will own them. The designer will also offer advice on how to do the remodeling in stages that make the most sense which would include economies in terms of doing work at the same time if it makes more sense. A GC - however good the GC is in terms of their skill set is not a designer. They execute plans and they collaborate with a good designer in terms of how to bring plans to fruition in the best way both aesthetically and functionally.
