Very nice, Sue. I'm still trying to decide which daylilies to choose. I decide on some and then I see others I want and well, you know. Decisions, decisions.
I garden for the pollinators.

Here's my belated THANKS to all who had a part in this great raffle. My prize was the gift certificate to the Santa Rosa Gardens. Although daylilies are my favorite plants, there is one area that has increasingly gotten more shade over the years and is a northern exposure. I've been moving daylilies out of that area and have been adding perennials that like more shade. I'd intended to take a picture of the plants in the box when they arrived, but they got here last Thursday night at 7:50 PM and I had to leave town early Friday. So I hurried to plant the new arrivals in the near darkness, as showers were forecast. So today I finally got a picture of the new heucheras. All those with the little tags ( and smaller plants) are the new ones. They arrived in great condition, packed well, and I'd certainly order from Santa Rosa again. Thanks again to all - I'm thrilled with the new plants! Oh, and I added a new agastache also for the sunny back area. ( went a bit over budget!)
Grow, plants, grow!

Julie, those heucheras definitely love your garden. It's going to be nice when they fill in.
Fyi, the roses I got were Eden, Fourth Of July and Zephirine Drouhin.

I just received my plants from Delano Daylilies. I had great communication with Karen Newman. I chose Siloam Peony Display, Festive Fall, Global Affair & Zella Virginia. I also got Land of Cotton as a gift plant. The fans are huge and very healthy! They are about the same size as the daylilies in my garden & they were cut! And for all but one plant she sent more than 2 fans. I've got them soaking now and I'm hoping to plant them this weekend. But as I write this it is raining again (we had 5" yesterday) so I'll have to wait & see. Grumbling Would definitely order from them again! Thumbs up
