4 years agoWell, can't seem to post even one picture in the title post. I'll try Spacecoast Tiger Tango here:
Next is a Double I looked at ages ago when it was first introduced. Couldn't tell if it was orange red or just red. In person it was more in the red spectrum of color:
Defying Serenity:
Someone on forum posted Golden Child and it was lovely in their garden (sorry don't remember who). It was at the show and looked good there too.
Golden Child
This UF was such an unusual color that I had to snap a photo. For those who like such things this may be the ticket:
Black Arrowhead:
There were a lot of deep purples (more maroon in our climate) and reds there and to me this was the most vibrant of the red group:
Glory In Red:
I think this is one of those off white ones that in person aren't white at all when they first open. However this color (under these lights) was pretty unique. Kind of a beigey/ yellow/base color with green throat. It really caught my attention. What it will turn into outside I don't know, but this was neato yesterday:
Healing Rain:
Another one for the UF fans. This was a large bloom:
Scarlet Pimpernel:
This one was the winner in one division. The substance was good and the polychrome color luscious.
The Annointed One:
This was my personal favorite of the show. Needless to say I can't find a source - even a rusty one. The grower just picked it up at a jumble sale. Ain't that always the way:
Western Waltz:
That's all for now...........Maryl

Comments (3)Ah, I thought this was going to be a more titillating topic given the coyness of the subject line... ;-) I grow my veg in raised beds, no other plants. I do have arches at one end of the beds for vining veg and clematis on the other side. I grow some herbs amongst the perennial beds. I have my asparagus bed in the front garden and have ringed the bed with shorter perennials....See MoreThis might be fun ... show me a house you USED to live in ...
Comments (31)Someone started a similar thread last year about homes from our childhood. That was fun to read. cattknap - I have also enjoyed seeing your yard throughout the last few years. Your new yard looks like it's on it's way to being just as beautiful! Lucky you to have that "free" and maintained back yard. Beautiful! I can tell your DH takes pride in his yard, and what the projects! moonshadow - Thank you for that copying tip. Took me a while, but I was able to find a few of my past homes. I couldn't recall the addresses. lol Some of the others were so grown up with foliage in the front, that you could barely see the house. I didn't bother to copy those. This is the home I was raised in. The yard is also overgrown from how it used to look. It's sad. :( The shutters and balcony trim were once painted a really pretty celery/olive green. When I was in grammar school, I jumped off the balcony with an umbrella after having seen Mary Poppins. :) A few years later, I "ran away" and hid on the roof outside my balcony doors (far right.) My parents couldn't find me. The yard backed up to the woods where I would spend hours playing. There was a running stream, complete with salamanders. In later years, my parents added a wing in the back for my grandmother, a large rec room and a pool - just about the time I was leaving for college. My children were able to enjoy them before my parents sold the house. The first home DH and I bought when moving to our area. Talk about a storybook house! This house had the charm and a yard to go with it. The back slope was full of purple iris. A large red maple next to the stone is gone. The house was deceivingly large, with the master, two bedrooms and a huge bonus room being on the second floor. Two additional bedrooms were on the main. After selling the above home, we built the following in the same neighborhood. It's the house where my children did most of their growing up. We lived here the longest - 7 years. The house just recently sold again after the family that bought it from us, lived in it for 7 more years. They finished the basement out, but not much else. Not sure who lives there now, but I hear it looks good. Our last two homes, y'all have seen. Thanks for letting me share....See MoreFor fun, favorite TV show kitchen?
Comments (15)Fun question! I didn't have an answer ready, so I had to turn to google: I've never seen this show, but this one appeals to me: I like the soft green on the cabinets, and I like the color in the curtains. The wooden counters also look homey and welcoming. I don't like the kitchen clutter. Can you ID this one? It's the Waltons' kitchen. Homey, welcoming simple, and love that big table (lovely wood tone on that table). The giant sink looks super-functional. The stove, not so much. I really like that last cabinet by the kitchen window: Two drawers, topped by a decorative spot. The Big Bang kitchen. It's small, but I like the light wood cabinets and the backsplash. And the winner for WORST TV kitchen has to be Paula Deen. It's so big that it's garish. She looks tiny next to that island. All those pans on the wall are clutter, and she has too many things going on: the big island, the copper on the hood, the brick fireplace -- too many stars. It's clearly expensive, but it looks cold and oversized to my eye. Comment on an above post: I also like Snow's kitchen from Once Upon A Time, but it would never work without the whole cottage-thing in the rest of her apartment. Drop that same kitchen into a different house, and it'd never work....See MoreFun morning! Visited a daylily farm - part 1
Comments (7)I didn't look too closely at anything, I was just trying to get through relatively quick, since it was hot (to me anyway) and the sun was beating down. I am planning to go back there in two weeks - if Galaxy Explosion is still blooming, I will definitely take a closer look at the scapes. I will work on posting Part 2 shortly....See More

I grow Black Arrowhead and it is one of those daylilies that changes color in different temps. Notice the difference in the colors in my image compared to the image of BA at the show .
Edited to add: However I do like the look of the BA image from the show ....I like the color !Maryl (Okla. Zone 7a) thanked signet_gw(6b)Maryl (Okla. Zone 7a)
