you can do it!!

And you too Hetty! We'll cheer each other on.

At least you're not slogging barefoot through the snow as you trudge onward and upward

I'm only up to 441 images, but all of them except 2 were taken in my yard so I'm OK with that....need to get out more.

That's my thing too, Gin...the images I've uploaded are of my plants in my yard. I figure my image count will go up when my 190 different daylilies start blooming this year.

190 different daylilies in your yard?! Wow

You're both doing great!

gingin said:190 different daylilies in your yard?! Wow

Well, there's only about 140 now, but I've got almost 4 dozen on order from earlybird daylilies in Kansas, and when they arrive, it'll be 190. And next weekend is the spring regional daylily meeting with the bargain plant table -- I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Gosh, I got curious and went to my profile page ... I had no idea that my image count was at 2,000! Most are my plants (past and present) and then there are some from the botanical gardens but I do have a problem with entering way too many photo's that are very similar shots. Someone posted about that a few days back and it made me feel really guilty and I know I need to sit down at some point and go through and request many to be deleted because they are so similar.

Y'all are doing great; keep up the good work!

Mary: My goodness ... 190 different Daylilies??? Wow, your garden is going to be Amazingly Beautiful! I've never gotten into Day Lilies but this spring purchased a couple packs of bulbs at Wal-Mart ('Final Touch', 'Eenie Allegro' and 'Little Missy'). Final Touch just began blooming and although the first two blooms got beat badly by our high winds yesterday I can definitely see why folks get hooked on Day Lilies ... and I know I will be wanting to add more to my garden! I need to go through the ones in the database ... but that will probably get me in big trouble cause I'll want every one I see!!

Lin, in 2010, I bought 6 half-price daylilies from Lowes. Three years later, I have almost 150 and another 50 inbound. As I said in a post on the daylily forum 18 months ago, I TOTALLY blame calif_sue for this. Her awesome pictures kept showing up in the random plants, and pushing their way into my heart. Then I met the awesome daylily people in my area and the addiction was finalized. I'm building new raised beds in the front yard just to have a place to put them. But in the daylily world, I'm a piker. I have friends who have thousands of daylilies in their yards.

I'm wondering what the length of bloom time is for them here in Florida ... I can just picture thousands of them. Look forward to seeing pictures of your garden full when they are in bloom; I know it's going to be sooo pretty!

Lin, you have some of the best growers/hybridizers relatively close to you. Betcha can ask one of them. I think these are mainly in and around Deltona.

Debra: Thanks so much for that link, that place is in my county and not too far away ... I've bookmarked that site.
I'm getting so forgetful as I get older I think someone awhile back told me about a Daylily nursery in my county that's not too far from me!

Ohhhh, my ears were burning! You can blame me but are ya having fun Mary?!!

One of the best things that ever happened to me Sue, truly!

Sue has added over 22,000 beautiful images to the database ... mind boggling!! Good job Sue! I aspire to get to 5,00 but I'm not sure I'll ever get there.

I multi-task, uploading while watching TV and now they go fast for me. Did a lot while recovering from a bad ankle sprain 3 months ago, still have trouble with it. The majority of the photos belong to other nurseries that have given permission but I do get to lots of public gardens and nurseries too.
