Any blooming now makes me happy no matter what it is! Just a few things going on today, Final Touch had a poly bloom today, I had one last season also. I have some bud building on the two scapes that are left, had three inches of rain on Friday, maybe it's helping.

Happy Returns is reblooming at the top of the foliage, that's rare here.

Early Bird Cardinal is putting up six rebloom scapes now. It's done better most years than this season but I'm happy to see this now.

Nice poly on Final Touch! Glad it's bud building for you too! How nice to have so many rebloom scapes on Early Bird Cardinal.

Hi everyone, Thanks to all who commented (or even looked & didn't...LOL). I was straight out today building a brand-new HUGE rock-bordered bed for more daylilies. I had a truckload of loam delivered and was digging those rocks out of my woods for hours...and pushing them to their final destination via wheelbarrow. I then worked on building the rock walls which took the rest of the day til nightfall. I am exhausted and my whole body aches, so I will post new pictures tomorrow. I just wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate your friendship and compliments. Nighty-night! Celeste

Good for you IÂm glad it was that easy for you. It took nine months of the GE repairman coming to my house every Monday before GE finally replaced my less than 2 year old refrigerator. My neighbor thought I was having a fling with the young man and ask DH about it. LOL He replaced everything in the refrigerator and it still froze everything I put in it. I havenÂt any reason to believe that the new one will last five years and you bet I will never buy GE again. Claudia

The pantographs I have are simple, hearts, leaves, zig-zag, that type thing. I don't think it matters if the leaves point up/down or sideways, the hearts ... maybe, but I have ordered 1 that has fish and shells, but they are just randomly placed so I don't think it will matter. I am having trouble with spacing my rows, but I think I will get better with time. If I don't do anything but meander I will be very happy. It is sooooo much easier than doing it on my little machine in the cabinet. I even made some fairly nice swirls too. Well, gotta go fill some bobbins. Don't know why they couldn't but bigger bobbins in these machines. Who has time to change bobbins??? beverly

Happy Returns is blooming here, but mine is down in the foliage :( I really like Final Touch, I've tried it 4 times & lost it 4 times. Guess it just doesn't like my garden.

The only one I have blooming now is Joan Senior. Happy Returns just finished up from another rebloom. I don't know if it will rebloom again or not. I kind of take it for granted. Final Touch is a pretty color, and you have more to look forward to with the rebloom scapes you have on EBC.............Maryl

I love the color of Final Touch although I don't think mine has ever rebloomed. Concrete Blonde, on the other hand, has sent up three sets of rebloom scapes this season and is still going strong. I am thinking of dividing it and putting it in every bed I have to give some color throughout the yard this time of year. If I do that it will probably never rebloom again!!

Day before yesterday I had zero blooms for the first time since May 26th. Today everything is spent except Happy Returns, which now has three scapes and about a dozen buds left. It will be onezies and twozies, and some zeros, but it will be blooming for quite a while longer. JOY!
