I love that first garden shot. Everything looks so lush and colorful! Spoken in Parables is a beautiful clump. All this rain now should push a good rebloom later.

Debra

Nice photos despite the rain! I always like seeing Entwined in the Vine, a lovely bloom. We need a little rain now, Alberto is supposed show up tomorrow, we'll see.

Sherry

The first shot is lovely! All your flowers are lovely, but Handwriting on the Wall is my favorite today.

I hope the remnants of Alberto reach Indiana. We could use a good rain in our garden. I don't think we have had a good rain, just a few sprinkles here and there, for a month. The grass is dry and crunchy where we haven't watered. The sprinklers have been on the daylilies nonstop, rotating through the beds, for at least a week now.

Darn. Why don't you say the day ily I have been coveting is tiny or a really bad one. I have had my eye on Entwined for quite a while. I might have been persuaded to go with Handwriting, the coloring looks a bit more defined and I do like that. But twice the size, yeah I will be looking for Intwined. Your garden looks amazing, despite the rain. We have just gotten the fringe so far of the rain. Then supposed to rain EVERY DAY the next week. Seems like that has been our forecast the last 2 months, we have had a couple of times with 3 days in a row with no rain. Mostly just a day here and there, fortunately, not heavy rains much, just enough to keep me from doing much outside. Daylilies are loving it, bearded iris not so much. No matter how well drained they are, this much rain is too much for them

I don't think I have had a single day that my lilies have not had raindrops on them!! These are all lovely but you know how I feel about Entwined!! Mine has not begun blooming yet but is budded and ready to go. Oh yes, I would buy it again and again. My list of those is growing, isn't it?!!! Thankfully, all you got from Alberto was rain. Gardens look good.

Kate

Beautiful garden shots! Spoken In Parables and Lake of Fire are my favorites from this rainy Tuesday.

Your garden shots show the progression of how much is blooming.

We have been extremely wet since March and it will continue. As Nancy said the Daylilies love it. The bearded Iris don't [very few scapes] and the Oriental lilies hate it. Terrible year for them.

And speaking of Julia, where is she? And Karen. and Jean. Haven't seen anything from Celeste recently either.

Thank you all. Nancy, whatever you do get Entwined in the Vine. I love Kate's photos, but they do not do it justice. Debra, a good bit of instant re-bloom scapes are already up...with very little rain until now. We have 5 1/2 inches in the rain gauge and it is continuing,...Hope this wasn't peak day. So many multiple blooms, and, of course, yesterdays good rain helped that along. I do not understand why with so little rain, but my scapes in general are taller than usual. Even my spouse who is not a big gardening fan has talked about them being beautiful and being so much taller with blooms up high. Some of the shorties just are, but in general no. Brad, Julia generally is a bit later coming on the forum living where she does, and I am very afraiad we have lost Jean for good. She does not respond to her email anymore, and she was on very little last year. Don't know bout Karen.

Your garden looks great and since it is so dry here, the thing I like to see most in your photos are the RAINDROPS. Of the daylilies I really like Spoken in Parables. Brad, thank you for noticing my absence. I have lurked but since I don't have anything to contribute yet I have been infrequent here. Spring was very late in coming for us and my gardens are behind. In a normal year, my daylilies won't start up until early July. That, plus the dry conditions, may make it even later.....but I am enjoying the posts when I look and I will contribute eventually. I added quite a few new ones so I will have some fresh faces this year.
