Hello Marian: From your list above, I only have South Pacific. I did get Aunt Ethel, however, from Frank Smith last year and was very happy with it. My single fan was a triple fan plus I received a nice bonus daylily...very generous, I thought, and no sign of rust. I have this to say to you: Get yourself to a local club meeting where Frank Smith is speaking! Or even one not so local! He sometimes springs surprises on the audience as he did at Lilyhemmer last fall. He seems to me to be very generous and an encourager of those new to daylilies. Secondly, join your local club. Clubs buy plants, the members grow them and then in 2-3 years, they will auction them off. This is a good way to acquire some of the newer ones without breaking your budget. Volunteer with the club, get to know them (and they you) and offer to host a club plant. Most clubs will allow you to keep a fan and return the rest. Can't be that price! Even with all that, there are beautiful daylilies for all pocketbooks. Jump in!

Wow, Linda, I've never seen anything like Mark's Bouquet. It deserves a second WOW. All the others are stunning, too, well h0nesty prevails, I don't care for mauve so the 1st one would not find itself on my wish list. But if I had the room, all the others would. Thanks for your pictures, I don't even have any scapes yet. Christine

So exciting to hear that you all grow some of these! I was worried when I was placing my orders :) Wonderful picture, Avedon! Hopefully my South Seas looks that good in a couple of years. Sounds/looks like that ones a good one! Sarah, I'll be sure to plant Roses in Snow on the side of my house just in case its not happy hear neither. I started planting today, but it was too hot and humid. I'm on vacation this week, so I'll slowly get them done over the next few days :) Flowergardener...you're right! I just checked her auctions on The Lily Auction, and those are some GREAT prices! I might snatch up one of the smaller boxes. By the time they arrive, I should have all the ones above planted! Tammy

GOOD MORNING ALL, Ok I got the BigLots fever....found roses for 2 bucks each, got every color they had, some were climbing, and a bunch of other stuff I didn't need but just had to have.....(grin). Spent waaaay too much money between that and Wally World....seems that Wally World has stepped it up a bit as far as the variety of bulbs, etc. I got a few new Hosta's, DL's, Lily's, Dahlia's, Glad's, etc. Was able to get everything in the ground but the Glad's.... Going back today to finish blowing my budget..... Been without water for the last 2 days (off, then on, then off)....pipes in the neighbors yard burst. With all that heavy equipment, the bulldozer's, etc., can't get in my own drive... they think they've fixed the problem, then they are right back out here again to realize....it's not fixed. Then they have to dig everything up again, so no water for hours, it's been going on for 2 days and they can't seem to get it right....they are out this morning, again! They have made a mess in the yard, it's raining and mudd everywhere....Well, off to make coffee before the water gets turned off again. Everyone have a GREAT DAY! Jaye
