Drift? No, for me it's more like a feeling of guilt that I'm not doing more. All through my kid's school years I volunteered for just about everything. And, they are ten years apart in age, so for a very long time I was ~ happily~ room mom every year. I planned and worked at school carnivals, dinners, talent shows, school plays, concerts, fundraisers, book fairs, etc. When they were in middle school, I helped start a school newspaper and taught afterschool journalism classes. In high school I was on various parent groups and committee, including the district hiring committee for teachers and staff. Our youngest, DD, is now a college sophomore out of state and I feel guilty that I'm content to just piddle away my time. I meet up with friends for lunch, etc. I work on projects around the house. Read, garden, work out. We entertain, travel more lately . . . but I'm not contributing anything to anyone or any cause and part of me feels very guilty about that. The other part of me, though, is just glad to finally be able to be the master of my own life and my own time. So for now, the two parts of my psyche wage daily battles in my head (LOL). Lynn

Thanks everybody, number two to bloom should be Tribal Council, but we have had a spell of cloudy cool weather and it seems to be holding the bloom season back. Maryl, I have a number of "old trumpet shaped" daylilies and I love them, particularly since most are yellow and fragrant. David, Siloam Art Work going to be in full sun, so when it gets hotter here, we will keep a close eye on it, move it if necessary--thanks for the heads up. Debra and everybody else, it's really exciting to see the first scapes. We have lots and lots now, the leader of the unbloomed ones are Stella's Ruffled Fingers with 13 at this time. Who knows what I will find in the next day or two, it's so fun.

I'm looking forward to this! I won't post, since I don't have a lot, but I love to see what others are growing and get ideas. There are so many dayliles out there it is overwhelming IMO, so it's nice to see what folks think are the best in their gardens, instead of relying on catalog marketing! :) Dee

Vision Seeker is exemplary in almost every aspect--bud count, branching, height, color intensity. I see that Michael Bouman is using VH a lot in his hybridizing. Glad to see these posts. Hope that Tramps Like Us has actually settled in and is not one of those that last summer performed when in the past they did not.
