I got Rainbow Maker from Jamie when it first came out ( 2011?) and it is already a clump. Good increase here! Word of caution about Boogie Woogie Blues: Be sure to plant it full sun/ prime real estate area for it to perform well. I first put it in half shade and just moved it two years ago because it had dwindled away to almost nothing. It has taken this long for it to recover, but now it looks great.

I hope to list plants on the LA in February 2014, but my neighbor's car landing in the redone section of garden ( see below) has caused me to mark some off the list for spring. I had quite a few from this bed on the sales list but can't even get into the damaged areas to try to ID and put the markers back in. Most of the stakes were destroyed ( why wouldn't they be with a car driving over them and an 8' section of fence flattening them?) but most of the AAA markers survived. Problem is, I hadn't had a chance to re-do my garden maps completely after moving everything a few weeks earlier. Lesson learned!
The fence is still lying right on top of some daylilies. It is too heavy for me to move, and although the fence repair guys have laid the replacement posts in concrete ( last week), it is supposed to sleet /snow /rain tomorrow, so they probably won't be able to fix this until next week. Ugh. Some plants are out of the ground and it is in the low 20's - teens at night. Not optimistic about all surviving, but I can't get to them to fix until the fence is fixed. Oh well, there are a lot worse things in life than this, and I've realized there is nothing that can be done about this right now. Most of those that I'd planned to list from this section of the garden will have to wait until next bloom season just to make sure I get the markers back on the correct plants! .
