Thanks you ll for looking and commenting. During main blooming season, I go out by 6:30 to get photos before the sun is out. but for about 10 days, I have gone out much later expecting to be down to a handful of blooms. I must be challenged since it is always a surprise to me to find a god many clumps of blooms still. I gave away a lot of Remembering Elizabeth last fall while reorganizing my garden. I thought I was done to one, but there are still two of them, and it is usually a reliable re-bloomer. Yes, Debra it is sad to see last blooms on real favorites...but since seasons are different, I can still favorites in others' gardens. I look forward to Julia's Hot Tamales and Red Hots and Chris's Catastrophe Waitress...and you should still have some of Ruby Lipstick. Anika, IT is a really good plant. Thanks, Ed...too much time I'm sure. Maryl, that is Jim Murphy, I think that named it. kay

Falls Church, Northern Virginia (zone 7a). Is it too late to overseed with tall fescue this fall? I did some google searches but didnt find any good information. Also, there are patches in my backyard with only moss growing there. What does that tell me? What can be done to rectify that? Thanks!

Once again someone has disagreed with you and you just cannot seem to let it go, even when the disagreement is largely a matter of opinion or terminology. You accept that piggyback downloads is a reasonable practice of a responsible company. I feel that it is sufficient to make a company worthy of the label "Slightly Slimy", irrespective of how many other companies of whatever size also follow the practice. You claim they've always been safe, excepting of course for the times when haven't been. That to me is not reassuring. Furthermore you cannot categorically state they've always been safe, you may not have had any problems in the dozen or hundred or thousand or however many times you've used the site, but that is anecdotal evidence, which in most other realms you would take someone to task for relying on. Lastly, given that their safety has been demonstrated to be less than 100% in the past, by your own admission, unless they have changed their policies to ensure that no compromised files can reside on their system, any given download could be the next one that has been compromised. While I think it is a reasonable expectation that any given file downloaded from Cnet would be safe, it is still prudent to verify that a given file is safe. To that end I have taken steps to conclusively determine that the copy of Irfanview currently hosted on the Cnet download site is (at least as of last Thursday) identical to the one offered directly from the Irfanview webpage. Which I feel is actually useful information to the original poster of this thread. You have merely asserted that they are safe, and have always have been safe, based on your anecdotal experience and your knowledge that they are owned by a large corporation, and attacked anyone who dares suggest that may not be so.

Yours is gorgeous! I have to say that I originally got it for the fragrance alone but the subtlety is really growing on me. I think the leaves are beautiful. It's a blooming machine too. Mine sent up another bloom that should be opening soon. . We were very fortunate this year to just have the heat. I know a lot of you guys really took a beating from the hail.
