Thank you Sharon. I'm asking Tracey to approve the picture, and tweak the colors, but I like the picture header. Tracey got it from Judith at The Lily Garden. How kind of Judith to provide it for us. When I figure out the right hand side area, I'll put a picture in there, and then give Judith credit for the picture.

It really does look beautiful, and I love the yellow background.

Does it look a little peachy to you? I tried to do it a yellowish-peach. Amazing how different monitors show such different colors. My iris cubit looks very blue to me. On my husbands monitor it looks purple.

I love how the picture turned out Polly. And many thanks to Judith Freeman for letting us use her picture. I hope we see her over here.

The lilies in the field are 'Caravan' and 'Opulent', both OTs bred by her. Another amazing lily grower, Judith Freeman of the Lily Garden.

I think I need to get me some Opulents! They look tall. This site looks different every time I take a look. Just a little while ago it looked like mustard yellow for the background. Nice banner!

No, thank you Polly for putting it all together. I love it! It feels very nice here, very "warm".

I've been naughty, admittedly, I have been messing with the background color. My dream color, the one red/ maroon that would bring out the lily 'Caravan', does not exist in the template. I do think the yellow is very complementary also.

Tracey did that. It's fun playing with the colors. Maybe you need to swig wine and watch the color change, Pard.

I know, I need Opulents, too, now. Caravan and Opulent.

I've found in my iris cubit that if I made the background too dark, the words don't show well, so the maroon might not work. The yellow is pretty. I'm sure you'll come up with a good one, whatever you choose. Pard will watch, drink wine, and then vote, LOL.

'Opulent' has been on my want list for a couple years. Time to cave in *Blush*

I noticed that visited links are also purple. I think it means something!
