Carolyn, thank you soooo much for alerting me about the plant sale. DH and I decided to make the trip and we begged my brother and his wife to join us. They did. We had no idea what to expect, but when we got close and saw that we had to part 1/2 a mile away because of all the cars at the sale, I was amazed! I had no idea that many people would turn out. I got some great deals. Indian summer rudbeckia (which I love), White Swan coneflower, Double Decker coneflower, black hollyhock, and a few more perennials I can't recall right now. I loved how it was organized. I loved the great selection. I loved the friendly spirit of the shoppers and volunteers. I will definitely make the trip next year. And my brother and his wife said the same. Thanks again for telling me about the sale. --Sharon

Wow Fairysoapgirl for that price who cares who the hybridizer is? Ya'll just make me drool everytime you post your pictures. Pink is my very favorite color but with these daylilies a favorite is very hard to choose. I have finally been adopted and someone is going to share some of their lovely babies with me.Yipppppeeeeee! Maybe next year someone will be drooling over the daylilies I have and then I can adopt a couple of people too. That's what I love about irises and daylilies. If you like them you go way overboard in getting everyone of them you can put your hands on. A local chapter of the American Iris Society is having a Iris and Daylily sale the first week in October. Can anyone tell me what the usual prices are at these things? What would you normally expect to have to pay for a daylily at one of these sales? Someone told me before that sometimes these sales are crazy and if you don't get there early everything will be GONE. This will be my very first sale to attend. Do I need to take a baseball bat with me for protection? Fairysoapgirl will you email me and tell me more about your label maker the size, tape it takes and the cost? Shoot, you can just post it here if you want to. As soon as I get the daylilies in the mail from the person who adopted me I'll start making a wish list. Then I'll see what I can find at the sale. Shoot I may take my laptop with me so I can search and see what they look like before I purchase any. I finally decided to give up on posting the pictures of the two daylilies I had. I thought about the blonde joke about them making corrections on the screen with whiteout. I was seriously thinking about clipping some pictures out and sticking them to my monitor. Then asking you what you thought about my pictures of daylilies I posted. Then I realized no one would think that was funny but me. (grin) Happy Gardening, Marian

My youngest are almost 11 now - a boy and a girl (twins). Hard to believe so much time has gone by. It's difficult to get teenagers interested in doing family things but the younger ones still like to get out and go places - as long as I give them enough time to save their game on the Playstation first. lol I didn't know about the daylily and hosta sale. I think there is a garden tour for the Garden Railroad Club this weekend. My son would like that. He doesn't care for the garden part of it but he does like trains.

That is a great shot! I don't mind the small toads, but get a little freaked out when they get to that size. I just wish mine did a better job with the slugs.
