Edward - I hear Shores Of Time does well in the North. I look forward to seeing your photos of it. Chris - What? Your favorite is an eyed daylily? LOL Open Door is an Emmerich. It is much rounder than most eyed daylilies and incredibly well-branched and well-budded. It has instant rebloom here this time. Val - I Remember You is doing so well here this year. I posted that photo rather than a closeup to show some of the buds and branching. That particular scape has 7-way branching. I'm not used to seeing that in my garden, so I'm impressed. This is the third year here for the plant, and it's finally showing what it's capable of doing. Debra

Thanks everyone. Patterns in Time was one of those bonus plants that I ended up liking better than what I'd ordered. I love the look and it's a great performer too. This is just Keene's second season in my garden and it's quickly becoming a favorite. nat4b Love on a Wire is another great performer. It's one of those cultivars that "hit the ground running". I love those that don't have to spend a few years settling in before they really start performing well.

Wow, 55 posts - hope I'm not posting on the wrong thread again. I like the QOD's. For clothes, I don't have much now. I have one leopard-print top that I've worn to shreds. I don't feel stronger or faster, but I feel safe in it for some reason, like I can face people easier. When I was young and still had a good body, I had a few things that I felt great in. I had a matching raincoat and umbrella that was a fall print with leaves. I felt perfect in it, like everything was okay. I had some jackets that I felt safe and good in - one was purple velvet and one was a plaid beach jacket with big pockets. For shoes, I rarely have more than three wearable pair. Right now I have a pair of moccasins, a pair of black sandals, and a pair of those Hawaiian clogs, but most of the time I go barefoot, lol. For childhood cereals, my favorites were cream of wheat with brown sugar and cheerios, either dry or with milk and sugar. I liked sugar crisp, too, when it came out and back in the days when it was still okay to call something sugar crisp. For cartoons, my first attachment was to Mighty Mouse. I loved the way he was a puny little mouse, but could get strong and save people in trouble. Then I think I liked all the hero ones - The Lone Ranger, Superman, etc. I've been saying for awhile that I'd put up pictures of Second Life, the virtual reality world I'm playing in. I have a few on my blog now. It's at wwwjoy.agelessserenity.org, and I'll add the link below for anyone who might be curious. I'm permanently low-carbing now, though not as low as I probably should be. It is better for my fibromyalgia as well as for my weight. I recently got that new power chair I've been working on getting for a couple of years now, so I can get to the post office and the mini mall again, though I haven't tried it yet. Heather is still fine and as good and sweet as always. My son and granddaughters are planning to come and visit this summer. My son recently started working with a game company who makes a product called Realmcrafters. Seems like we are all into the virtual reality scene. Seems like people here are doing okay over all, and I'm glad for that. I know I miss a lot, but at least I come by and catch up. I'm into the Oprah presentations of Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth." Anyone here have ideas on that, and on the expectation that we are in a process of catalytic evolution? I had more, but lost it. At least I saved to this point, fortunately, as I couldn't write it all over, lol. I'm glad to see so many staying with it and new people coming on board, too. Take care and eat healthy!

Great pictures, Kay! Such beauty. Your Pigment Of Imagination looks 100x better than mine did it's first year here... I got it summer of 2016 , so last year were the first blooms. There were not many, and the ones it had seemed to be splotchy and/or a little misshaped. Your bloom looks perfect! Hopefully mine will be better this year, but I doubt it since I moved it this spring.
