Christine, volunteers are some of the strongest and best plants I have. I got some butterfly last week and babied it adn it id not thrive,,,finally got a pretty good plant and accidentally pulled it up and discarded it, realizing later what I had done...(and even though I planted a new one,) I haeve several healthy volunteers from the original plant. Hooray! I also have Many, Many volunteer zinnias, vinca, violas, an cleome. I'm with you on that. Celeste, Golly Galore is a bitone in my garden. the sepals are always much lighter than the petals, but the difference to me is less than say Malaysian Marketplace. It is a Late and it is a very large bloom and it is free blooming. Rita, in my area, the Shasta Daisys (Becky) form a nice free standing clump that doesn't require support like my newer echineas. So I like them both. Thanks, Debra. That was a happy accident. I bought thm both from Roycroft, along with several others, so I planted them in the same area. kay

Good morning! I'm really enjoying seeing the oldies in your gardens. Here are a few more from my yard: TWIGGY (1990, Dickerson, Dip, 18"/4", Dor, Mid/Ext/Noc) GREEN EYED PAT (1989, McRae; mine is taller than the 20" it's supposed to be, closer to 24-25") Lady Cynthia (1965, Fay) GOLDEN CHIMES (1954, H. A. Fischer) with Shasta daisy 'Becky' Laurel

Love Vertigo and Southern Dazzle! I never cared for spiders, but my eyes seem to be drawing to them more and more, especially purples, lavenders and pinks...and whites! Not so much oranges and yellows. Lovely, lovely daylilies! Karen

Been making the bread and pie for over 30 years. It's a Southern Living recipes. Funny on the cantaloupe bread. I made three loaves of it for my Mexican train group, as a prize to the winner. THen I brought out two more for the other two. I used smaller pans to make 3 loaves. One gal, I had them wrapped in seran wrap, and she unwrapped and began eating like an ice cream cone. SO funny! Called her later than nite, and she had finished the whole thing before she went to bed. One cantaloupe, will usually make 4 cups, so I always have some puree frozen.. Used to make, when I cooked a lot, cantaloupe custard pie. Oh so good. Thanks Lisa! This post was edited by glenda_al on Mon, Aug 25, 14 at 22:30
