Hi alll
Since the coop order will not be here until October I will still end the contest on the same day, but I think the prizes will be things out of my garden, instead of waiting for the coop order to come in.

I think the prizes will be some daylily crosses that I started this last winter, that will bloom next year. I have been told by people who know about this stuff that these should be very nice crosses.

I will have to think of a couple other things I can throw in to fill up a box for all of the eager contestants!

okay lets see my guesses

#1 95 people
#2 8600 bulbs

Ok...have no idea, but it never hurts to guess, right?

62

6200

There...nice round numbers...lol.

Good luck everyone!

ivory forgot to answer your question, I am so sorry!!!!!

Yes I counted everything as a bulb! And don't forget all of those little sky blue lilies, there were sure a lot of those!!!! Counting them out 1 at a time would not be any fun!!! I am not sure counting them at 5 at a time is going to be much fun!!!! (thats not true I am really excited about being able to get them all sent to you)
I apologize for not answering your question sooner!

There are a couple of you that are close, but no one is right on the money yet!!!!

I hope your having fun!!!!

only one guess???? hehe

Alice, I think you are tormenting us now!!! I think you have lovely gardens, so whomever does win will likey get a nice surprise from you!!!

Oh Laurrie you are too kind!!!!

I shot a couple photos of the new garden that we redid this spring, even though a lot of blooms have come and gone all ready, the brugs and the hibiscus, are doing their share to make sure it stays pretty.

Just lovely, Alice!

OH Alice!! it's gorgeous!! AND just look at your lovely BRUGS!!!! they are blooming their hearts out!! Thanks for sharing the picture.

Thank you both very much! I am so glad that you enjoyed looking at it!
I will admit yesterday when I was out taking photos I was pretty proud of those brugs.
I just discovered this morning that the jean pasco that was given to me at the iowa round-up has buds on it also. Which means all of mine will have bloomed and I am amazed!!!!

Alice, love your garden photo. I wanted to know what that bright blue flower in the back left by the wall was, but I looked closer and I think it is your patio umbrella! Wish I could grow umbrellas...

Yes my umbrella has done really well this year, its grown all most 3 feet this summer!!!! haha
Thanks for the nice compliments

Gosh, Alice.....a tropical paradise in Michigan!!

Alice

No problem! I will be happy to get them with my coop order.

Thank you Alice! I didn't expect this. What a nice surprise.

I'm not picky about a prize, so you can surprise me! I will love anything you choose.

Alice,
I've just taken time out to look at DG for the first time in weeks. You did a great job with this prize thing. I think you should start more of these.

Kathy

I have been thinking about it, just haven't had time to do any posting for one!!! Too busy collecting seeds and taking care of coop orders-----okay I may be doing some goofing off also!!!!!
