I am going very well. In fact I have started working again. That means I have only weekends to post but I just have to get the habit going again. Lol.

Lots of rain and reflowering.

Will definitely post very soon. (Touch wood).

The cats are quite happy about me working again after 1.25 years. They got a new pet entrance that allows them to move between their enclosed veranda and the rest of the house. I am off to Melbourne tomorrow to visit my mum. I have some one to come and visit them twice a day.

The garden is lush and the weeds have just boomed in the last two months with all the rain, humidity and heat. I am dreading the work I will have to do when I return. BUT all the daylilies are rebloooming.

Emmaus looks pretty imposing in this photo. If those yellow daisy looking things are weeds, they are making a nice backdrop in the photos. If you're not satisfied with it next year, you can always give it to The Blue Parrot. They could squeeze it in somewhere and it'd be right at home.

Don, they are native Everlasting Daisies also called Paper Daisies. Their genus changes all the time. I am off to catch the ferry to fly several mile south to Melbourne. But I took this one for you. LAKE NORMAN SUNSET and a stunning Eastern Water Dragon (Physignathus lesueurii) from down the road. He is about 3 feet long.

I think maybe you need to make a banner with the native Everlasting Daisies. The Physignathus lesueurii is neat. Nothing close to that large is around here. The tropical colors of the daylily are perfect for the lizard!

Hilary, it flowered for the first time for me last year. At first they were all singles. Then it has just hit its straps.

The single is quite attractive too.

Jaw dropping gorgeous Glen! I love those everlastings too. I bet they would grow great here but wonder if they would turn invasive.

Enjoy your visit with your mum.

Love Melbourne! Spent ten days there in 1999. Was it Acland St with all the pastry shops to die for?

Beautiful day lilies.

Glen - A feast for the eyes! I am looking forward to Spring and Summer blooms soon. I have many new seedlings that have yet to bloom for the first time, so I am very excited to see what they produce in the flower department this year.

You certainly have some stunning named and registered daylilies! And your kitties sure are cute too! Lovey dubby

So many beautiful flowers! You're an amazing posting powerhouse, Glen. Sorry to read that you've been unwell, and glad that you're feeling better.

I have had a few daylily seedlings flower this summer, and more to come. Here's what I've learned: the majority of daylily seedlings, regardless of parentage, will be some non-descript shade of rust!! But still, I'll try to sort through my pics and find some to share. Smiling
