I took a few pics this weekend, but didn't have the energy to post until today.

RC, You have a big project going on! Looks familiar actually...we still have a couple of places that look similar. Really nice when they are done though! Your clem pictures are great...I especially like the close up!

Irwells, I can't imagine an unhealthy foxglove, and I love your Oleander! My inlaws have a really nice one in Arizona, and they keep threatening to yank it out because of the mess. I think that Katye is absolutely correct about zones being based on the lows and not really taking into account the average temps. I am a daylily freak, and so many of the flowers I love I can't grow true to color here because we don't get hot enough.

Pony, I love your dahliah!

Willow, I can't believe all of your lovely rhodies. Blue Ensign is my favorite of this batch, but you have so many lovely ones it is amazing!

Azorina, your voodoo lily is really cool! What an interesting addition to the garden. If it smells that bad, I wonder how dogs would react to it? Maybe something cool to roll in?

Sally, What a beautiful drive to the green dump! It's not very often that you can enjoy such beauty and run an errand at the same time!

Bea, What a funky primrose! It looks kind of like a platypus! I have always admired the pokers, but had one that bloomed for one year and then disapeared, so I haven't been inclined to try them again. Your grouping makes me want to reconsider!

My Saturday morning was spent working on the road with the neighbors...one of the disadvantages of living on a non-maintained hill. When I finally got to start on my own projects, the first one on the list was getting my daylily seedlings in the ground.

NOTE TO SELF: No one in their right mind needs to start 300 daylily seedlings, no matter how interesting making the crosses is!
