Peggy. These are a wonderful bunch of knowledgeable and friendly people. I joined a few months ago and love the chat and exchange of information.
I have Crimson Pirate and would not be without it. It flowers its socks off and, as has been said, glows in the sun. AND the sun has been shining here for weeks, not a drop of rain which is most unsual. Temperatures in the high 60s! However we have had strong winds for the past 3 days which have crisped some of my roses. I have scapes on so many daylilies, never happened like this before, usually May before the earliest scapes appear. The good news is that there is no sign of gall midge so far
