I've ordered from them twice without any problems (no wrong plants) and have a third order coming this year. Like everyone else says, they are very nice to do business with. My experience has usually been that most sellers are horrified when they make a mistake...but mistakes can happen. Most, will replace the plant, especially if you send them a picture of what you received, without any problem. It can be like a 'Bank Error in Your Favor'...as I like to say! Sometimes, though, they may be sold out or the plant is no longer available...in which case, they would either send your money back, give you a credit or let you choose something else. Far and away, most daylily sellers are wonderful people to deal with. Another good seller that is on another thread is Patron Gardens. Once, one of my plants was forgotten (left out of the box) and I simply called...the plant was sent along with another bonus plant (which was a really cute daylily). When I had one die (an expensive one), they refunded my money promptly. You can't beat that. I have a situation this year that will probably test all this. A seller I bought a plant from...two years ago...I think sent me a mixed up plant. The plant did not bloom the first year and last year, when it bloomed...it was like close, but not the cultivar. I know, because I saw the plant in several gardens and there were distinct differences from mine. Anyway, I'm waiting until this year and hope to get a good picture of it and start a conversation with the seller (off the LA)...we shall see. In some of those cases, it can turn out that the seller thought they had the correct plant...That's why it is a good thing to establish relationships with the people you buy from (not always possible)...There is a degree of trust that builds and they view you as a friend, too. In this case, I think I only bought the one year from this seller, so I'll just see what happens. Oh yeah. Always ask for blooming size fans. That's what the best sellers send, anyway...but not everyone does. That way, you have a pretty good chance of first year blooms. There will still be some that might not (depending where they came from and where they were in their cycle of growth when dug up and sent to you), but most will...if you get blooming size fans. I have learned this the hard way! Do not assume, especially on the LA, that everyone sells blooming size fans. If it doesn't say, ask...unless you have gotten to know the seller well and have that trust I mentioned earlier. Good luck and happy buying!

I only have one on your list, which has not bloomed for me since last year... but that is because I put it in TOO much shade: Palladian Pink. It was recommended to me that it be put in light shade, because it will melt on a hot day. My bushes got bigger than I thought and light shade turned into deep shade... Anyway, just a warning on that one. The only other one I know anything about is ABSOLUTE TREASURE, I have seen in rust surveys that it is VERY suceptable to rust.

NO recipes!! LOL. That guinea hen sounds like a keeper if she eats those nasty ticks! I thought guineas were a lot smaller, or is it just the photo that makes her look big? Luvs, did you spray the little off-white tinted birds that were at DT recently? Or some other ones they've had? I haven't re-painted any, tho often 'gloss' some up to make them look better, like I did with those cardinals we found last Fall. I have two real bird nests I'd LOVE to use. Thanks to windstorms last year. They are fairly large tho, and really wonderful! Birds amaze me. But if I use them, they've got to be up high somewhere as I have a feeling the cats would go nuts. Especially "Trouble", he'd have a blast disassembling a real nest. I have to admit, he was extremely good about ALL my decorations since Fall. I am amazed, maybe Tornado season is over finally. He's 2 now. But a real bird nest would be pushing my luck for sure. hugs, Karen

Beautiful home! Have you considered thermally broken aluminum windows? Aluminum windows are our number one selling window, especially double pane. Aluminum windows have the look of steel windows but not the dollar signs, which can be astronomical. Plus, thermally broken aluminum will have the performance and long term durability that you can't find in a vinyl window. If you need to purchase your windows in phases, I would make sure to do the front of house first, or back of house (depending on solar gain issues and current efficiency needs). I would just make sure that whatever you do, the exterior does not look patchy, even if that means the bedrooms and front entry windows are addressed first. I can't imagine that making too much of a difference aesthetically for your interior. Here are some examples of aluminum windows from our recent projects... Hope this helps and good luck!
