My son received a gift of a cruise to Alaska and he's not going to go without me. I wasn't interested in going but after seeing your pics I might just start making plans.

Just hoping that I get to see most of what you experienced. These animals are amazing.

Alison, I'm checking that ebony flower every day so I don't miss the seeds. Funny, it's the only ebony one. How come only one flower on it though? Any ideas how to get more than one flower after I get the seeds from this one? I love the painted tongue too. Trying to get the seeds from those too. I want lots of them next year. I love gazania too, but those rabbits just won't leave them alone no matter where I plant them, they find them. PM2 The candy lily where WS 3 years ago and just started to bloom Aug 6. Funny to cause I was going to move the fans this fall to a different location because they weren't blooming and was so surprised to see the flower stems full of buds show up all but over night. They are planted in an area that gets morning sun and then sun again later in the afternoon. They will get more sun after a big oak tree is taken down. These are all the same color though I know they come in different colors. Hoping for seeds. I'm pretty sure they can grow in full sun to part shade. Mine are in part shade. Fran

I remember when you posted when this happened, nice to know all was not lost......They look beautiful.........One yr (when I lived on the other side of the mountains) I had put miracle grow potting soil in the holes that I planted a couple plants. I covered @ night religiously, but it still on 3 different occasions they frosted to the ground...Notice I said it was 3 times this happened. I thought they were gone each time but they were on a soaker hose that had other plants to take care of. Next thing I knew, I'd have tiny mater plants comin' back. They did start to set, but just didn't have enough time to come ripe. (winter comes early and quickly some yrs over there) Point being, sometimes, maters act like 'the little train that could'.............Good for you........T (fingers crossed you get a decent yield)

Uxorial, I used an Olympus digital camera. And yes, the cold affected the camera. It fogged up the lenses inside the camera and occasionally it wouldn't operate at all but that was rare. I kept it tucked inside my jacket whenever I wasn't using it. I also noticed that none of my photos are as crisp and clear as they have been previously. One of the gals I traveled with had all kinds of problems with her little camera (can't remember which one it was). Hers shut down altogether a good deal of the time and she was going through batteries at a ridiculous rate. I gave her one of my hand warmers to wrap around the camera on a particularly cold photo op day. It really helped. I went through more batteries than usual as well but not as bad as hers. She'd take 10 pictures and her batteries were dead. I'm sure Casey who takes all the wonderful photos in cold, icy Newfoundland can shed some more light on this problem. Jodi-

Here is Moonlit Masquerade. If you want to buy daylilies on line you might want to try Blue Ridge Daylilies or Oak Hill Daylilies. I have purchased from them and they send marvelous plants! Blue Ridge sells on the Lily Auction. Two more suggestions for new daylilies are Belle Cook and Claudines Charm. Sherry

Glad to hear it Zeetera! What ports is his ship going to? I've been to Kodiak, Homer, Sitka (loved Sitka!), Glacier Bay National Park and the inside passage (incredible!).

FYI: cruise ships don't go into Anchorage (too shallow).

I think I'll go. I always thought that it would be boring - I'm not too fond of cruises. No decision yet Jodi but I'm getting ideas from you and Glenda.

Great pictures! Up close and personal.

Zeetera, GO! I've never been, but it was on my Wish List.

How many Moms would be thrilled to be asked to go with their son! You can't turn down that offer.
