Lovey dubby love Happy Happy!

JWWC - I see you are in Indiana, Happy Happy does well there through winter? I been thinking of buying it but want to see someone growing it in this area outside and get a good report before spending the money.
I know that many beautiful ruffled Southern babies just do not like our winters. Thanks
Love what you teach and teach what you love!

Cynthia I love love love it.

Lisa I was a bit nervous about it. It did not seem to mind the winter but it did not like the cold spring. I didn't mulch it at all.

Beautiful photos every day on this thread. Favorites from recent posts include Mokan Butterfly, Blue Eyed Bandit, Happy Happy, Picket Fences, Smith Brothers and Very Berry Candy.

Debra, I think So Irresistible has probably settled in since it is blooming on a rebloom scape. It had good color this morning with the cooler weather. You can really see the triple edge in this photo.

Betty, I think you will love Game Face. I wasn't totally awed by it until rebloom.

Thanks to all for their comments.

OMG....These pictures are all just fantastic. Love Happy Happy. I brought Happy Happy last year, and it did not bloom. This year it has a scape. So excited.

We have had so much rain up here in Vermont, that we are setting all time records for rainfall in May and June, that have never been recorded before. 10 inches of rain so far in June. It's no longer a nuisance, now it is causing flooding in the Valleys and towns. Farmers are seeing their fields of crop threatened by pools of water.I am helped a little because I live on the side of Mt Lincoln (better known as Sugarbush), and all the rain goes downhill. Many of my lilies are finally growing scapes, but I am still a few weeks away from the start of our bloom season. However, some of my newbie plants are blooming this week. They have only been planted for 7 weeks.

Many thanks to Michele for the first two plants shown here. Healthy, hardy, happy fans.

Celtic Butterfly- First Flowers- Twins! Blew my socks off!

Barbara Mandrell - This is the 3rd flower on this plant. The first 2 flowers were bi-color....yellow and red. Thought I was sent the wrong plant. Slowly, it's finding it's true color. Should be beautiful next year. Also, stunted scapes on this plant. Tons of buds.
