That's how I feel now, Rosie. Only I'll probably be too busy the next few days with storm cleanup to be able to appreciate it :-( Bummer - news station on constantly gives me only one thing to think about today... which kinda puts the kibosh on savoring this momentous occasion, lol.

Mine does not resolve, just sits and sits as long as I allow it. It also freezes up the other tabs and I have to close the browser. But I can post all I want in the comments. I will have to try to resize and see how it does. I use Irfanview for all my pictures. I download it and its free plugins and it resizes pictures instantly. You can do it in pixels or inches. Irfanview is compatible with everything. I've used it for as long as I can remember. It is super popular because it works well and easily. You don't have to use it as the default picture program like I do. You can install it and not make it default, and just use it to resize. It also does a whole lot more. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/irfanview.html http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/irfanview_plugins.html

Thank you Sherry. Lilyland's Fried Eggplant was/is a unique color combination that varies..... When it opened up it's first few blooms over the space of a couple of days I wasn't sure I had received the right cultivar as it looked so different from the database pictures. One of those pictures was from Dean Green, who was an occasional contributor to this forum and lives around the Oklahoma City area. Our climate should be similar and based on his picture I thought it was pretty. So I was startled by what popped up instead. I called the distributor of Nall daylilies in Lousianna and he confirmed it was indeed Lilylands Fried Eggplant. He told me the color varied from time to time and place to place. Boy does it ever. Here was the FFE taken at 3PM (in late afternoon shade). Days later it was still sporting this color combination on subsequent blooms: Below are more blooms taken 2 weeks later taken again in late PM shade at 1:30 PM Lilylands Fried Eggplant: It bounced back and forth between these 2 colors with minor variations for its entire bloom period. None of them ever looked like the other photos on the database............ Lilyland is looking a little worse for wear after this winter, but hopefully it will revive so I can see what it does this year...............Daylilies can be so interesting can't they.......Again, thanks Sherry for the nod of recognition..................Maryl

Congrats Maryl!! No I get no emails from the NGA. I probably set my account to not get emails as I usually do for most things. I do get emails for this daylily forum and not much else except for from friends and family.
