I am so sorry I was so late answering. I slept about 16 hours yesterday. Only 3 months and 10 days and I get to sleep at night like normal people. Thank you for looking at the blooms. bigack...it's never too late...my beds are only three years old and I am 66. Avedon, that grouping was a total accident, but thank you. Casey, and they are both purples! To all of you who likesd it, Emporer's Butterfly has been blooming a lot, and I don't know why I haven't posted it. njmomma, give Desperado a little time and it will reward you! Rita, Elizabeth, Jean, Julia, Christine, Val and Vickie. I really like having the paths show in the picture. Take a right and you will go to the shed and the rose garden. Tun in the neext left and you will reach a sitting area under the big oak tree. Go left (in the photo) and you will eventually pass the green house, then the big iris beds, then you can go straight to the biggest daylily beds. Straight ahead (in the photo) takes you to the butterfly garden, smaller clumps of daylilies and many perennials and annuals along with the hummingbird feeders. You can walk in my garden at any time. kay

sorry ladies - this was not an advert -- I don't sell the products, just buy them. wanted to share some knowledge on the two systems. I did not realize you did not share knowledge on this site, sharing where I had bought was no different than mentioning Joann's or some other large store. many people in Canada do not know where these machines can be checked out and I appreciated when I read on this site about the above store months ago. That was the way I was introduced.

Those twins (and their siblings) were really good. Mia, the singer from Croatia, was fantastic! I hope she gets a recording contract. (She is really pretty, too.)
