I didn't get a chance to post any yesterday and didn't take many pictures today so I'll just combine them in one post.

Krakatoa Katie is reblooming. Every plant we have has rebloom scapes.

Bodacious Bite continues to flower, now on rebloom scapes.

I wish Heavenly Angel Ice would hurry up and grow into a clump. The flowers are so delicately beautiful and I would love to see a bunch of them at once. It has been very slow to get established.

Cherry Top Hat is a nice round flower.

Princess of Alexandria is one of our favorite Klehms. Unfortunately, it is very hard to find.

Sam Abell is a favorite here. You just can't beat that wide edge.

See Me-Feel Me-Touch Me was nice today.

Peppy is a rather small flower in our garden.

We like this seedling. It's a big flower but we wish it weren't so blotchy. It is Ruffled Strawberry Parfait X Raggedy Man. It appears to be a late bloomer as are both of its parents.

I probably posted this one before, but it's one of my favorite small flowered ones. It is Mississippi Memento X Spacecoast Perfect Angel. It reminds me of Easy on the Eyes, which is beautiful but also on the tender side.

I know this one is nothing special, but one thing we are working on with the small and mini daylilies is an edge, especially if we can get teeth. We are making some progress. This is My Special Angel X (Little Red Bantam X Chomp).

That's all for today.

Rita, That is an incredible group of blooms! They are all gorgeous, and there is no way I can widdle my favorites down to even two or three. The ones that I found most stunning were INDY HEARTSTOPPER, PROOF POSITIVE, WINNING NOTE (I got it last fall and can't wait to see it bloom after your pics!)BASS GIBSON, EXTRAVAGANT, and HELLO HEARTSTRINGS (Another I am anxious to see bloom for me. I also love the depth of color in your CELEBRATION OF ANGELS. Mine doesn't look quite as velvety, although it is a bloom machine and I love it. Can't wait to see what the weekend brings you! Julie

Thanks everyone! Nancy, I do have some clumps of veronica in that bed - you can see some in the 'another angle' photo, it's in the middle toward the bottom. I also have veronicastrum, which is the bottom right of that same photo. In addition to those, the coneflowers and the monarda, I have agastache and nepeta (catmint) that are taller accents. The tall nepeta is in both group photos, on the very right, kind of in the middle (Nepeta sibirica 'Souvenir d'AndrÃÂ© Chaudron' , hummingbirds love it) - it's sprawling all over all the daylilies near it, I really need to try to cage it or something next year. Mantis - I have had Crazy Ivan for a few years, in a pot. Late last summer I gave away all but one fan, which I planted in the ground. It's now 2 fans. One scape, not many buds - maybe 8-10. I think it probably would be happier further south, but it's holding it's own. It's on my trade list. Maryl, I'd been wanting Linda Beck for a while, an just got it in late May - 2 fans and it surprisingly put up 2 scapes. I look forward to seeing how it does in future years!

Thanks everyone! Rita, It's not just the light. It seems like every flower I have is lighter than those in the warmer climates. I won't trade any, as they are beautiful to me, but I do drool over pics that are posted that are so much more colorful than mine. There was one of Wisest of Wizards that put mine to shame a week or two ago (I think it was the other Julie's), and another of Prickled Petals just today or yesterday that was so much more dramatic than mine. I am careful about which ones that I choose... have studied and determined what colors do well for me and what wash out. I am ok with the washout if they turn out like my Gift From Heaven. I bought Julie Newmar last year because of the name... have been disapointed so far in the flower, but will reserve judgement until next year. It does seem however that purples and especially lavenders really don't show themselves in my climate. Debra, Jan, Tom, Julie, Jean... I will still keep posting, even if no-one looks! I love my flowers and love to share when I can. This forum was how I got really hooked several years ago, and I can't prevent myself from at least trying to create another addict. In addition, it was so wonderful for me to enjoy all of the photos that you all posted well before we were in bloom... the least that I can do is reciprocate and post those of mine that are still going strong while you are winding down.

Wonderful pictures!! Karen, that place (location, food, everything) is utterly charming. Nicole, I'm glad you explained your picture because one might think you were on a sort of circular treadmill, turning a wheel with your feet. :-) I'm posting my picture and going to read about trench art......... An unusual planting for gravesites. I love it!

I think that last seedling looks pretty special! Great edge, and I like the color. My favorite one of the registered ones is Cherry Top.

oooh I love Princess Alexandria , First time seeing that one . Seedlings one and three are my favourites . Number 2 seedling looks like a nice bloom but not my favourite color combo.

Heavenly Angel Ice is slow to establish. Heard someone say that it doesn't like overly rich soil. Cherry Top Hat catches attention, but a Carpenter evergreen--have you had it over several seasons?

HAI is slow here too. Cherry Top Hat is cute! I love Sam Abell too, it is very eye catching and I take plenty of pictures of it.

Mantis, Cherry Top Hat has been here two winters, one mild one and one long and cold one. It seems to be doing fine.

Sam is a favorite of mine too. I was teaching a Garden Judge II class out in the garden when Sam shouted at us from across the garden. Just a great garden flower. Heavenly Angel Ice is not a vigorous grower here.

I know a lot of people don't like doubles, but my eyes bugged out of my head at Krakatoa Katie. The colors are loud and bright, and the petals are nicely edged. I likee mucho...........Maryl

I would choose HAI, except that everyone is saying it's slow to establish. Laura, a handful of the HAI seeds I got from you have in part grown and are healthy; I was happy to see this. However, they're growing slowly as does their parent. I very much want to see them and hope they make it through the winter. I love them!

Nancy - the first seedling Ruffled Strawberry Parfait X Raggedy Man is my choice today - love the color and its toothiness.
