Mipii - Hum, hybridizing daylilies. I\'ve never tried that, though I have read and heard about it. Good luck! Go for the fragrant ones - I think they are my favorite.

No rain today. We have had upwards of 7 inches since last Saturday, probably some of the leftover rain that ZM was also having. I hope ZM you are not still having to deal with the mud.

A garden club is supposed to be coming for a garden tour here next week, so we have been trying to whip things into shape around here today. At least it was overcast and the sun was not baring down hot. Late this eve I couldn\'t resist checking out some of my zinnias so I put on the big boots and got me a bucket and scissors and off I went. Lots of zinnia had fallen over because of all the rain, so I had to cut me a path between the two rows. These were the only unique ones I came across as I spent most of my time deadheading. The largest blossom I measured was 5 1/2\" and I\'m holding out for larger.
