Thanks everyone for looking and taking the time to comment! It's great to hear from you all. And I know it's fun to see new blooms. One thing that I will mention about The Royal Greens is that the first several blooms were very splotchy... but it whipped itself into shape :) A lot of my blooms have been splotchier than usual this season - like Glory To His Name was splotchy all the time - today is the first time I noticed non splotchy blooms, and it's about done for the season. Debra, Love In A Vacuum is definitely red, not purple - sorry if the color wasn't captured accurately. I'll include another pic below. I got LIAV from Hanson, last summer, so it wasn't me that outbid you :) Pink Panther Paws has a mauve-ish color on the ends of it on some mornings (depending on rainfall probably), but fades to light pink. Nancy, I believe Lotus Position is one of the parents of Pink Panther Paws. Sea Scape is one I bought to try something different from Davi, and I don't really care for it - ha! Brad, thanks for the info and your thoughts on the bites! My thinking last year after suffering with the bites for a while was that they were/are probably chiggers - I suddenly remembered about doing some volunteer work a few years ago at a state park nearby and they made sure that we were clothed appropriately and were sprayed with Deet. I hate going to the dr, but did last year when one of them got really infected... I think I had to go three or four times. The PA agreed with me that they might be chiggers, but she had never seen such blistering, etc. They were really bad, and I had dozens of them at a time - very itchy and painful and in bad places for blisters to be. I started wearing pants, and tucked them into socks, and sprayed myself down, but it didn't seem to really help. I know one of the sprays I tried last year had Picaridin (sp?). I need to try the sprays again. I probably have about 15-20 bites right now in various stages of blistering, scabs, etc. The other day I resorted to popping one of the blisters with a sterile needle, as it hurt so bad - it was going to keep growing until it burst anyway I think. Deet makes me a little nervous from what I remember back in my camping/backpacking days, but maybe I will get some from Amazon and try that as a last resort. We do have a lot of dragonflies (not sure about damsel or how to tell the difference) here. I'll look into permethrin clothes. Thank you! Anyway, if anyone has read this far, here's a couple of daylily pictures for your trouble :) Another pic of Love In a Vacuum Forgot this one - Westbourne Blackberry Cobbler - bought last year on a whim, added to an order I bought this one last week, had admired it last year when I saw it in person, Lemon Strawberry Twist And here's Davi's Dilemma, not sure if I posted it last year, I think I got it fall of 2018. I love it, even though it's pink :) I made a video of it last year, but never shared the couple of videos I made Thanks for looking AGAIN!

This post didn't work yesterday. Trying again, hope I can read what I wrote yesterday.. Favorites: Debra: Diver Down, Kara Louise, Dancing Flamingo kid Maryl: Acquire the Fire. Mine performs the same as yours, wonderfully. Sherry: Red Volunteer. It is indeed good for a shady area. Kate: Christmas Greeting, showy noid. Celeste--Marietta Warrior, Scarlett Pansy, Kenora Wildfire. David: Fire on the Mt. Persian Ruby. Nancy, Mama Drams, Insider Trading. Brave World Bombay Silk, and excellent flower in every way. Cherry Treat, finally after many years had a good year. Worth the wait, what a color! Cherry Cheeks Christmas Day. Always well budded, colorfast. Catastrophe Waitress more below

Maryl, Prickly Sensation is the most prolific Maryott I have. Surprisingly it holds up very well in the heat and is a rebloomer. Debra, Nan, Sherry-I do have a large area!! And yes, I have bought several new ones but my mantra is ”one in, one out!” I made the new beds to help with overcrowding in other beds. I tried something new with these beds-after fall bed prep, I covered the area with cardboard and leaves. I then planted and transplanted in the spring again using cardboard under my mulch. Any time weeds/grass pops up, more cardboard more mulch. Can I say I love these beds? They are so easy to maintain and I can enjoy the flowers without trying to find time to weed!!
