Love the day lillies. Mine have just put out buds, but the plants look healthy, in spite of an infestation of lilly leaf eating beatles. I got them before they ate too much!

Kathy, everything looks beautiful. The kids must have been very impressed!
I hope that you have a wonderful day tomorrow!

Beautiful, Lindsey! Mine are about finished for now, but are all rebloomers. Hope I can get rid of the thrips before they start up again. Every year, a new pest!

I am wondering if someone might show orchids that might not be of photo quality? Like me, I don't have those but the ones I have, I'm proud of due to the time and patience I've spent on them.
I challenge anyone to show some really bad ones instead of the show quality one where people can ooh and ahh. Lee

I looked up Lady Neva and I don't think it is a match. Good try however. I do wish I knew the name of it.

Here is another crepe myrtle in the sky:

About 30 people came through yesterday. They came in steady waves and most of them got my personal tour. I only took 2 photos! I'm also tired of hearing myself talk. Hilarious!
