And you should be "disgustingly pleased"!, I love it and am disgustingly jealous! (LOL, Zuzu had the same idea as I was typing!) And envious of the great flagstones too, so many creative ideas! Ahhh and I swear, Sherry and I are sounding more and more alike, nursery pots galore, contempt for non gardeners, hubby STILL not showing any gardening interest, yep, that's me!

Well, I have nothing new in my gardens lately as I was away in Europe for 3 weeks (photo threads in the Photo Forum if anyone is interested) but I hung out with my birder brother on the trip (and my Mom, just the 3 of us) and enjoyed his enthusiasm for several birds we encountered in Germany and Iceland. But, they were not in Calif. so I want to be careful here ;-0 . I don't have hummer feeders but have many hummer lovin' plants so now I will have to get my fast lens on my camera and see if I can capture some in flight moves.
I did come home in time to see a new to me co-op lily blooming. This is Salmon Star. It cheered me up enough to not focus on the heat stressed plants that were left in charge of my non gardening DH.
