Comments (14)Deangreen, that is a birdhouse sold by Rock City. We had to almost rebuild it to make it stable, but I like it because of memories of barns with "see Rock city" signs painted on the roofs. Nat4b, Cast Your Crown is not a large bloom, but packs a lot into the space. Thanks, Jean. That's too bad. A couple of my daylilies took some damage, but I didn't lose any. I did lose so0me roses though. Maryl, The hot pink is Wall of fire, and the red to the right of it is a Munson called African Plum...it is red, but has some purplish hues in it as the light strikes it. I am enjoying Gus, since he likes to keep me company when I'm in the garden...especially when I pick blueberries for some reason. Ikad, it is another small bloom, but such a pretty one. Mantis, he is a pretty little cat. Much smaller than my indoor tabbies. I don't know how it is, but the path isn't as spacious as it once was. I am planning a change in the big front bed this fall. I plan to move the large lilies to another area and plant daylilies and hecheras there. Mantis is right, Chris. that is Wall of Fire...it is an eye-catching bloom and is little bothered by thrips. No, Juliana, Rocks Cry Out and Cast Your Crown are both toothy, but The colors are similar. CYC is about half the size bloom as RCO. RCO has a two color effect to the petals, but not the sepals, (bitone) and CYC had the same color on petals and sepals. CYc has is toothy on sepals and petals. See below for comparison. CYC is much smaller and is red with the golden toothy edge: Because of the color similarity and the toothiness, I'm sure they are "kin", but haven't looked them up. As for being at peak, I have a lot of plants already putting up instant rebloom so who knows how it will end up. I'm sending as many daylilies as he will take home with my brother this week. He is coming up from Shreveport and wants some daylilies. kay...See MoreA buncha blooms from the last few days

Comments (9)SUNNY ABUNDANCE SUPERSTITION TATTOOED DAUGHTER And this is a goofy little juvenile brown towhee that somehow slipped and got its little self stuck down inside one of the columns of my metal pergola in the backyard. My son and I had to take the base off the column and lift it up in order to get her/him out. Not sure how long it was in there, but it was pretty exhausted and disoriented when it flew out the bottom... and or damn dog almost caught it twice, so we had to put her in the house til the poor birdie could recover from the ordeal and get away....See Morebethnorcal9

6 years agoLovely roses Beth! I'm so glad the heat has subsided here, hope it has for you too.
I enjoyed seeing your DA rose, The Endeavour. I planted it this past February and it's producing both dark pink and pink/salmon colored blooms. The blooms aren't as dense as yours since it's only about a foot tall so far but he keeps putting out buds and blooms.

Second bloom
I love the variable color and the fragrance is nice too. I was encouraged to get it from your photos. Thanks!
