Oh, btw, I found out what this NOID in the post above was: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=9213912&extraimg=0 . It's Fox Hunter, which was a bonus.

I finally got to organize my photos, so here are a few of our entrance from the street. We're pretty close to the road. Noid mailbox daylily. These were all dug several years ago from PFF (Phoenix flower Farm) and they couldn't tell me the names. They're multiplied pretty well and have filled in nicely.
I never liked the very tall one at the mailbox so I have dug it out and given it to my nephew. I sliced off a few in the digging and put them in a 5 gallon bucket with some water and they have grown new roots.

1-3 Elegant Candy 4 &5 First time blooming on Prairie Blue Eyes. Very short, too.

Pandora's Box and Rosella Sheridan

1 Very tall noid peach daylily and Downey Woodpecker shots. I forgot to bring in the feeder one night and the raccoons got it and chewed off one of the yellow plastic wasp guards. This little woodpecker discovered he has a sweet beak and has been visiting every morning. Some days he is waiting for me to put it back out. My niece gave me some freshly dug Rose of Sharon plants and I wanted to be sure they made it through this hot dry spell we're having so I bought a child's wading pool and have been keeping them in a mostly shady location until it cools down.

Hollyhock Chater's white, Bergenia, not sure if it will bloom this year. Queen Anne's Lace, one of my favorite weeds.

I've so enjoyed looking at all your lovely pictures. Thank you for posting them. I've had some wonderful water lilies but by the time I remember To go and get the camera it has become too hot to return to the garden. Not having water access has been very hard on me this year.We have resorted to connect four hoses together and running it across the street so I could add water to the pond. After watering for four hours, it rained. Can't win!

beautiful karen and mittsy

Great shots Karen & Mittsy, love the Sunset Celebration Karen!

Karen, I love your Mom's Hard Rock Cafe! And Mittsy, same for Rosella Sheridan! I'm surprised at the downy....I would have thought a sapsucker would like the sugar water.....

Very nice Mittsy and Karen!

Thanks, guys!

Mittsy, I love your very tall NOID peach DL. Boy, you really do live close to the road! Hope it's not a busy street. Queen Ann's Lace is also one of my favorite weeds.
