Oh, nice garden shot! So many others I like too. Jonxy, armed for Battle, Aaron Brown, Kingdom Without End, well I could keep on going, but don't think I forgot Jerry! Rock Solid is such a great plant, I would keep it even if I did not like the flowers. I did not do as well this summer because I divided it this spring. Bloomed well, but usually I many fans have 3 scapes each, others have 2 unless they are just small fans. The best performer in my garden.

I couldn't pick a favorite from all these lovely examples you grow, hcarnavale, but Pomponella is verry impressive. I love the look of Young Lycidas in front of the saturated blue of the delphiniums, too. I have to say, My Freddy never looks as pristine as yours. Mine is always sporting thrips damage. Your rose garden is stunning. Diane

Love seeing and hearing about Charles Rennie Macintosh. He's gorgeous in your picture. The other mauve/lav is also stunning --- Nicole Carol Miller. 3rd (?) day of high temps. here. Same heat wave coming down the coast.

Lori, I laughed when I saw your post and thought that we have a great many "alikes" in the edge/eye category and then realized that many of them were even the same color and then saw we had many of the same lilies. Then I saw where you had written the same thought on my recent post! I may have to look into Brave Kemo Sabe since it falls into that category!! Do I not remember that you also have Thomas Tew? Kate

Thanks, Kay, Sherry and Nat! Nat, I will try to do a post of my seedlings maybe next weekend... or one evening this week if we actually get some rain and I'm stuck inside :) Mantis, this is the second bloom season here for all the ones you mentioned so I'm sure they are still settling in a bit. I just measured the scapes on SP, and including the buds, the tallest ones are 33-35". Dorothy and Toto is well budded here... since it's pink, it's not one of my favorites. I like Morning Fog so far - pretty flowers (that are on the smaller side), each fan seems to put up two scapes and it blooms fairly late (FFO was July 20th). I don't think it's an EMO.

Wow, so many great blooms, Laura! Hard to pick a favorite in this bunch, but Rock Solid is calling me. Fear Not is really nice. You have so many lovely garden shots.

Vanishing Mist is a slow grower for me. It finally bloomed this year. Others of Emmerich's generally grow and bloom well for me.

So many to choose from. Coach's Magic Man I found most interesting. Anyone else have experience with this one? Fear Not is blooming deep in the foliage this year, and it appears somewhat similar from your picture. Good picture of Still Night. You have a great clump of Remembered Kisses. Aaron Brown, a waste of time here. Looks as though the plants have received rain (or sprinkler) recently; nice and green.
