Lrae - yep, we were cross posting! Nancy, yes, it is really that pink - and even better like Juliet's picture shows (SHE is the reason I bought this one). okbt - a lot of my daylilies have diamond dusting, but NONE of them compare to how PP is. I can see her shining from far away. I still have some newbies to go, so I might find another one... Chris - I got two whole buds on CC. But, to be fair, she just went in on March 31. I was just happy to see that it was the right CV, and to get a glimps of that happy bloom. I can't wait until the eyezone thickens up a bit. I look forward to seeing yours! Thanks Kathy! Uh, Juliet, You, my dear, are the reason I bought this daylily! I just fell in love with it. I think it was on that post where you shot your beds from the upstairs window. I am so excited that it is blooming. Three fans, three scapes. AND if you can believe it, last year, after it was planted, I slid down the little hill where it is planted and broke off all three fans at the crown. Didn't seem to mind at all, grew back big and strong. No spring sickness on this one, but I am having the darndest time with Awesome Artist. I am starting to think it has a viral infection. It has made three good looking scapes, which didn't even get to branch out - they turned yellow, brown and died. The leaves are also yellowing, but in a weird way. While the outside leaves look ok, the middle leaves (not the new ones, but not the outside ones) are yellowing badly. AA is right next to Cantique and Clothed in Glory, both of which are doing fantastic and have super branching and budcounts. So, I know it is not under/over watering. I checked around the rootzone, and there are no air pockets either. The roots look ok. Weird. Ever see anything like that?

Very nice merkity, to add multiple photos in a single post you will need to load your photos on to a host site like photobucket and then copy and paste the HTML link into the post and it will load as many photos as you want. Great hibiscus! Evan

Thanks for these lovely roses----- Patrick sent Clotilde Soupert to me and I'm so happy to see this beautiful picture. Can't wait till I have a bloom. Florence

Thank you for all the kind words and the good wishes with rain. If my roses can understand, they are sure will appreciate it. On the other hand, I think sometimes they do. One time I was planning to SP one of my roses and suddenly it performed so well that I changed my mind, LOL. @sara-ann: good luck with finding your Black Magic. I just wonder why J&P doesn't let other nurseries to propagate it even though they couldn't do it well (quality of the bare roots or meeting the demands). @canadian_rose: Peter Mayle's fragrance is my favorite. @prettypetals: Judy, I normally like strong colors and I "blame" you for showing me your beautiful light color roses. That's the reason I gave Marilyn Monroe a chance, and I'm glad I did :)
