Great photos Jean. Spacecoast Royal Ransom is very pretty.Cheddar Cheese is a great color too. We have finally had the thunderstorms this afternoon we needed to cool us back down here. High 80's and hitting 90 mark yesterdayk but the humidity for the past several days has been unbearable. Dropped 15 degrees in an hour. The storm gave us hail, high winds, plenty of rain (which we needed) and loud thunder which shook the house. Stay cool and rest.

Nice pics Hiway! It amazes me how beautiful some cactus flowers really are. I don't own any myself. Cacti have WAY too low of a WAF (wife acceptance factor) for me to have some right now. She's still getting used to my increasing little collection of succulents. But I love reading about and seeing everyone else's! Care to elaborate on your soil mixture and setup? I saw a BUNCH of pots in the backgrounds of those pictures and like hearing about other people's growing setups.

All very pretty Jean. You just can't beat Stamile's candy series for reliability. I've got quite a few of them and love them all. PM is as always, gorgeous too. Mine isn't blooming yet. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to share them with us all. Jan

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! Mocc- you are right about William Baffin, I just googled it to make sure LOL. This is a very hardy rose (to zone 3) and is easy to grow. My mom has one that is bigger than mine, probably because hers gets more sun. We mail-ordered these about 15 yrs ago. I originally planted it on a small trellis which it promptly destroyed. This plant is growing against the fence with no support provided by me. It has really big canes and holds itself up. I trim it back once in a while when it gets outta hand. I also have a dark purple Jackmanii Clematis which is growing up into the rose. It is just about to start blooming, I see a few buds showing color today. It looks pretty with the pink roses and purple clematis growing together. And to top it all off the rose grows well in quite a bit of shade.

Jean, so sorry I haven't commented on your lovely flowers. I do like Wild One and Malaysian Marketplace is just so great, don't you think? The weather is crazy, isn't it? Are your daylilies bigger this year because of all the rain---ours certainly are. Looking forward to lots more of your pictures.

Your plants look healthy. Oktoberfest caught my eye, as did SC Royal Ransom. Malaysian Marketplace grows well here too. Supposed to cool off towards the end of this week. I fear more ups and downs.

We had storms here all night too. My daylilies were too beat up this morning for pictures. And the humidity is horrible here also.

Wild One has become one of my favorites and I really like Malaysian Marketplace and SC Royal Ransom.

Your weather today could have been mine, including the rain that came so close but didn't. I do hate to see hot/humid weather show up, but you know it's coming..........I Like Cheddar Cheese. More yellow looking then gold in your picture. Octoberfest is another one I'm taken with. Nice form....You've got some nice ones blooming .............Maryl
