It has indeed begun. Kate, I Love singing with the angels. The roses are gorgeous. Do you have a lot of scapes now? Fewer than 10 percent of mine aren't scaping yet, now only the late ones...It probably means a fast season...There were many blooms today. I may post again later. I am glad yours has started and was sure it soon would since we aren't too far apart. It is a very pretty start.

Where could I find 'Remembering Grace' to purchase? My neighbor's grandmother, named Grace, is in her 90s and not well. I would love to be able to give this daylily to my neighbor - both ladies are such nice people...

Kay, they are really scaping and budding. I had several more but the blooms were so deformed or slug eaten, I did not even take photos. All the rain last week did a number on many. Singing with Angels is not multiplying very fast but does throw pretty blooms. Sherry, I hate that about Japanese beetles and your roses. I do love this first flush. Roxanna, Remembering Grace is a Maryott intro which was sent as a bonus. You might check Schreiners Iris who are now selling Maryott’s lilies when he ceased his retail operation. I may be wrong but I think this was maybe named for Bill Maryott’s mother.

They are all so appealing. I hope Remembering Grace improves for you, it is really a pretty flower. Singing with Angel's is gorgeous too, but my favorite may be Williamette Mist, love that coloring. Beautiful roses!

I forgot to mention I have a new phone and am still experimenting with sizing pictures on it. It is different than my last. So, sorry for the size of these. I did not transfer them-just sent with one attempted resizing. This will be a work in progress!

Beautiful roses! Very pretty bloom on Williamette Mist. It does have a delicate look.

Williamette Mist is a pretty one. What rose are you posting.......Maryl

Nice to see your season starting. Williamette Mist has a nice ruffled edged to it. Love the rose pic too.

Willamette Mist is gorgeous! I love the roses too!

Good captures, as the colors look very realistic.

Thanks all. Maryl, I may be able to find that rose name. I actually bought it as opposed to rescuing it from someone! Although if memory serves I rescued it from a box store. It has great arching branches loaded with these fragrant blooms. Mantis, this phone takes pictures as good if not better than my camera. Colors are indeed realistic and I do like the portrait option to focus on the object without background interference (like grass and weeds!). I just need to research more on resizing the photos.

For Maryl, the Rose is Summer Romance.

OMG , the rose ! So beautiful Lilykate! Thank you for sharing that picture. No signs of any daylilies here so I really appreciate seeing others blooms . For me , "Remembering Grace" and "Singing with Angels" are the ones that grab my attention today.
