I'm wondering too. Do you mean someone forgot or missed capitalizing a daylily name when they were writing?

Yes. That is what I meant. I saw a word that was not capitalized but it is the name of a daylily. No biggee though, because as Sharon said, it only matters if there is a tie.

Wow, I just read all the stories. Truly they were all really very, very good. No duds in the batch. I intend to read them all again very carefully before voting on my favorites. I have some front runners in my mind but I want to think on it before a decision. Such fun!!!!

I got my votes in. It was hard deciding. Y'all did a great job writing!!!!!! Each of you should be proud of the job you did. Entertaining stories all!

Thanks for the explanation! I was thinking you meant some of the names were incorrect, so glad to find out.

I read all the stories again and I sent in my votes. I think everyone did a fabulous job and this was all so much fun. Really enjoyed all the stories and the different takes on the various Holidays. Now to sit back and wait to see who won.

All of the stories were great!! Just sent my votes in.

Hurray Margaret for not waiting till midnight! I sent my votes on on Thursday I think it was Thursday. Anyway, I sent them.

Rita, I will be sleeping at midnight, I'm an early to bed, early to rise person.

shhhh....

They're counting...

We are slaving away behind the scenes - looking up names after name to verify they are registered daylilies .....

Oh my - I'm thinking you got into more than you bargained for. That is a BIG job. I'll have to breathe for a while now so I'll be back later - holding my breath won't work much longer.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I didn't think about them having to verify all the dl names.

Wow, that will be a huge job from the number of names used in some of the stories!
