Sherri,
THat is absolutley georgeous. Did you take the picture is it your Blue lily? Really it is wonderful
Hi Flower
Agapanthus One of the few latin names I know. :) Not sure about the common name. No word scramble competition here. I have two systems (neither work really). One is to count the letters and pursue the files to approximate the length and see if they match. This is about as effective as playing the lotto. LOL
The other is to make little letter cards with a letter on each and try to mix and match that way. Worked well until my DH turned on the fan.
I'll keep trying. :)
Sherrie ,
You have some beautiful plants. I wish I could get all of mine to be that pretty. :(
It's your contest, you can run it any way you want.
I must say this morning I deadheaded about a dozen blooms from the parent plant.
We are underwater from all the rain this past week, the only things that are growing good are the weeds, especially the reblooming dandelions.
Sherri,
What is that? THey are both beautiful and great photos. The lily must be one of these?

Hi Arejay
Yes the link is the blue one. It's very tall this year. The other is lisianthus 'Balboa Blue Rim'. I got the plants from Burpee this spring. They are so pretty. We're hoping for some seeds. They are hard to germinate I'm told.
Still working on your word. :)

Here is a clue first word has Nine letters.
Good night.
Wow. Guess that would mean we have two words. Thank you, mamajack for your offer of a plant. We are having FUN!
Hi arejay. This is as close as I could get, but it is one letter off, with an "A" instead of an "O". I'm kind of hoping for a typo! LOL

Evening Primrose

Yours look different from mine. Mine has a big hugh leaf on them I don't even know whether mine are hardy or not.
Please check this link, we're talking two different plants. Evening Primrose, Sun Drop, dandelion leaved
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/588/
The flowers on mine look just like those . the only difference is the leaves.. They sold them to me for eveing primrose and it said primrose on the tag. What is the difference?
Does yours look like this?
