Thank you Mona. She is very precious. She is not the only great grand child but she is the youngest. I have 10 greats and one on the way..They are sooo sweet. Much sweeter than their grandparents but don't tell them I said so. Chris, my genes may not be that good but my dh has good JEANS!!!! LOL.. Kathy, I thought that cake looked really good too!! The big one looks better though. I never made or bought 2 cakes for a b'day but it does make some sense. She had one to play in and the guests had one to eat. I think the big one was chocolate ...Yummmm..how I love chocolate...Ellie

Thanks Rita. I guess you could call it raspberry Purple. The daylily Forum named it for me except for the Brittany, of course.. I'm so glad you still like the first spuf. I think it's going to be a really good one. It has quite a few buds and is holding straight up..that's a plus. About 28" tall. Good height as I really don't like very tall dls. The other is a really colorful one with the white covering a good bit of the sepals. It reminds me of a white 4 leaf clover. There's a bit of lightning at the edges too. maybe I'll get an edge to boot.. I also like the wide petals on the others.. Thanks Michelle. The raspberry ripples one is a mini. around 22" in height and the bloom is less than 4".. Thanks Laurel, I forgot to mention that BRR is a tet. Black spot is it's pod parent. Thanks Kay. I really don't like mini's very much. I have a select few and this probably is my favorite of them all, including the Siloams. It's a late riser which also makes me happy.. Thank you all...Ellie

Pat we would miss you if you weren't there but we would understand. We've had a few babies at the swap but never a birth; thank goodness! Rhonda, how many people have registered so far? ******For all the Newbies, MTPS Registration is on the website at: http://midtnplantswap.com/registration/registration.html*******

Oh Lois! You are making me laugh! Thank you all. It will be a few weeks before we can get up to see her. By then, I will have her x-stitch piece finished. I only have to add her name and date. And have it framed. i often think about my mother, who loved all babies, died only a few months before her first great was born. And here I am with two. God is good! Theresa
