Hi Scott. I'm happy for you that you got blooms. They are nice. Sorry to hear about the ants. Bugs are happening to alot of us right now. Mike started a thread on how do we each handle our bug problem. Hopefully many will reply and I can learn whats best to get rid of mine. I saw in your profile that your b-day was oct. 16th. Happy late Birthday. Yes ,I thought you were female. I set up hubbies account, then he had his stoke and he can't type, so I use it. I like your pics. Lonny (hubby) likes doubles, I like singles. I think they are prettier, I like the big blooms.Simpler and easyier to take care of. At least in my oppinion. Share all the pics you like. :) Kim

Wow! that was refreshing! And now I've added about 12 hostas to my list for next year! Peggy

Sweet Isabella looks very pretty after the rain, and Black Velvet Baby looks very velvety. I'm glad you're getting blooms on Sugar Magnolia even thought they're splotchy. I can't remember seeing it splotchy here. I hope I didn't send some of my thrips. Debra

What an adorable little fellow! His name is wonderful. Congratulations Grandma!
