Here is a sampling from hundreds of pictures over the last 5 days or so...

Getting Airborne - new to me as of last Friday from a local trade... love it! Really holds the color well in the heat.

Thistles and Thorns - got late last summer, two fans, each put up two scapes. Morning shot in the shade, sorry about the blueish tinge.

Far From The Madding Crowd - FFOE on 7/28

T-Bone Walker

Vanilla Gorilla

Ivory Titan

Another shot of Getting Airborne - 6PM on a super hot day. Whip City Sweet Honey Bea is the red to the left, Lip Smack is in the upper right by the shasta daisies

Coral Majority

Matchless Fire with geranium Rozanne in the background

Thistles and Thorns at 7:30PM on a super hot day

I'll put some more in the comments shortly.

I love Thistles and Thorns and Neon Flamingo. You have so many nice ones I'm not surprised that you've taken hundreds of pictures. It will be nice to look through them this winter, though, while dreaming of spring! Bob

Thanks everyone. I'm far enough behind on posting that the asiatic lilies are just about done and the orientals are starting. SPRINGFIELD CLAN is a big impressive flower and a beautiful clear red color. It took a while to get going here, but has been worth the wait. JOAN DERIFIELD has been very impressive. Great bud count and good increase and I love the flower.

Thanks dmkelly. Even though those Walmart bags are only 50ÃÂ¢ a piece, it still is expensive when you add it all up with the peat, pine bark, bat guano and all the remaining ferts. I really thought raised garden beds would do well and they do seem better than just in the ground but the Walmart bags out performed my raised beds by far and I used the same soil mix for both. Sorry I haven't grown anything else in the bags but peppers. Everything else I much easier to grow. Peppers are very particular. These bags require much more water and more fertilizing. They are very well drained and will leach out nutrients quickly. Whenever it rained for a long time I would go out there in the rain and fertilize them with a strong solution. Iron fert like you would use for lawns helps and to combat calcium deficiency I use calcium acetate, quick lime mixed with vinegar and allowed to settle.

Sounds like you got some nice plants! I'll look forward to seeing pictures next year, I'm not familiar with several of them. Nice blooms too, going for you, I think my favorite is Hot seat though, Wide Awake a close 2nd. Party Pinafore did not bloom its first year in my garden, last year it did bloom, but not great. This summer though it was outstanding, seemed to go on & on.

Love Do the Twist, lovely clump of Flutterby. Brave World looks really good too. Isn't it funny how different plants grow just a short distance away. I have never had Brave World be short, I always have planted it with Arkansas Post because I like the way they look together. Brave World is not that far from the same height, maybe 4" shorter.

Ivory Titan is imposing! It appears that while it is tall, it is not a space hog like so many of the taller ones. Two scapes per fan is a good start for Thistles and Thorns.

Beautiful daylilies! Love the yellows and Ivory Titan. Thistles & Thorns looks great in the afternoon! BSAT is gorgeous! One of my favorite flowers. I went out today and didn't even feel like taking pics, but couldn't resist BSAT. The one I thought was FTO and looked as good as dead after its first winter surprisingly reappeared and even scaped up this year, and it's another BSAT, yay :)

You have some very nice blooms. Getting Airborn is nice and I have been looking for a reliable source to purchase Vanilla Gorilla. Matchless Fire and Neon Flamingo are also on my want list. You and I are in the same zone, so if it grows well at your house, it will grow well for me too.

Ansel Adams really attracts attention even without the frog! Love the photo of Coral Majority, looks like it has tons of buds.

Nice group of pics. Coral Majority I find is difficult for me to capture the true color of it. Filled to Overflowing has struggled here for many years. Far From The Madding Crowd looks like one of Curt's other intros "Capacity For Wonder". Neon Flamingo is interesting and I've kept it on a wish list but waiting to see how it looks in different gardens during different climate cycles.
