Since I am relatively new to gardening I am thrilled that anything at all grew and bloomed in my gardens. I don't even know where to start - maybe with the daylilies. I planted some new ones this year and they all did well and I think Ice Carnival was my favorite as it had the most blooms and bloomed for the longest time. Another favorite was my Mystic Spires blue Salvia - they are still blooming well and keeping the bee population happy. My Pink Gown garden phlox (planted last year) also outdid itself. New garden phloxes I planted this year didn't do much but I'm hoping next year they will improve. My endless summer hydrangea, Bailmer, was a small bush but it put forth beautiful blooms. And last I was really pleased with the four blooms on my Elsa Spath clematis - not very many I know compared to some of the pics I've seen others post but it had blossoms!! Eleanor
