Its not just daylilies.. most landscapers, throw in a row of stella's then a row of knockouts.. then evergreen shrubs, usually lowgrowing ones, like juniper, or some taxus that are dward and do not need pruning. Low maintainence is always the key.. I understand when you have a business I guess, but as a homeowner.. come on.. there are plenty of low maintaince plants that are different.. how about just mixing in coneflowers, with rudbeckias, add some russian sage.. and viola, a drought tolerant summer blooming color.. Whats crazy here is alot of these landscape shrubs are only marginally hardy here.. plenty of the knockouts die every year.. leaving gaps in the landscape design. Ever watch some of the lanscape shows? its the same crap.. I agree, a homeowner thinks spending 10 bucks on a plant is a waste.. even though you might have it for 50 years.. but to spend 30 bucks going out to eat 3X a week doesnt seem to make a dent on thier budget! LOL.. Ive vented enough.. Silverkelt

Those pics are so beautiful! What a great trip!

Marie, Huatulco is a sea port so it's not completely off the beaten path but I believe it is a newer port, at least for cruise ships. The people themselves have been around for over 2,000 years. There is an archeological site called Copalita that was discovered only about 15 years ago and digging is still going on. It opened to the public in October of 2010, we were among the lucky ones to visit the site and beautiful museum. More on that another day. Jodi-
