Thanks, all!
I went a little overboard on the pink daylilies a few years ago. The reason was, I was heartbroken after our move here, that I had left my garden and plants behind, only bringing 2 daylilies with me! The plants meant alot to me, as I had trucked them to Cape Cod from our Boston gardens when we moved there. Why didn't I take divisions of everything?...I was so overwhelmed with the move here....terrified really.
And then I heard from my old neighbor that the people who bought our home did not garden, so they gave away all or most all of the/my plants!!!! GRRRRRRRR!
Lesson learned....the hard way!
You know how cultivars go in and out of fashion ? Well, for the better part of 4 years I was scouting around on the Net to try and find certain Hostas I had had, as well as perennials.
After 6 years I am almost able to rest! LOL. Smiling

You have such a great garden, Janice. I understand about your garden. When I moved here the realtor made me leave many plants. I brought about 40 plants that I couldn't find on the internet. Then one day I passed my old garden and the plants were gone and replaced with...grass! Just heartbreaking!

Thank you, Kathy. Glad you understand.
At first, I thought ,oh! maybe it will be less work if I don't have a garden to take care of...but that didn't last long! LOL. Hilarious!

Oh, the birdhouse in the garden has a bluebird family in residence. They are so pretty.
And one of the houses on the deck to the left of the bench has a little wren in residence.
He's funny. When I am out there, in his way, he starts scolding me. I tell him that he wouldn't have a house if it wasn't for me. But he doesn't listen. Hilarious!

Thank you, Ursula!
From this experience, I have learned there are plants I just MUST have around me. I should make a list...
Hellebores, daffodils, tulips, muscari, Hostas, Lilies, Daylilies,...hey! wait a minute...I think the list would include every perennial.... Rolling on the floor laughing Big Grin
