Different cameras do funky things with the red and purple tones. As a result, pictures often need commentary to adjust the hues. Your Waiting in the Wings seems to have the same slight bud count that mine has; I'm afraid this is the last year for mine.

what a great soul ..... if anyone can find a link that does not require me to sign up for facebook.. i would appreciate it ... the old pollack.. adopted this young pollack.. way back in the day ... him and dad even hit it off at a hidden lakes meeting.. he ran all the auctions at HL .... always a happy face.. and something nice to say ... and he always had some of his own seedling pieces in his trunk.. and would give the the quiet PPSSST ... come here ..drug dealer sort of wink and nod.. and we would have to head over to his trunk for some hosta dope.. lol ... never one for those small ones.. he grew anything with a parent bigger than sum and substance ... at the 2009 Mi convention .. in my garden ..... i had labeled one of his settled streakers.. and showed it as H.

Jean, yes Riley is a collie. We had one years ago and they are so sweet and gentle. Mantis, I never deadhead the violas. They are in partial shade on the porch. A pot on the patio in more sun has already gone bye bye. I usually pull them out and plant something else when they begin to look ratty. I don't have much experience with Carpenter daylilies so we'll see how Royal Extravaganza performs. We have begun the process of weeding out the southerns who won't perform for us. We sent a big box to a friend in Alabama a couple of weeks ago. Still we keep buying the southern ones in hopes of getting one that is hardy here.
