Kay, that is really pretty overall! I like the different colors on orchid majesty!

The last picture is the prettiest! What's that big red one in the front? Always Lovely should stay lovely for a long time with all those buds. It's just a gorgeous clump. Garret Mason is a knockout too!

Debra

Crackingtheconcrete, Thanks so much. I've had lots of thrip damage to Linda Beck this year, but as you can see, they do look good together:

Debra, thank you...like a lot of them, it took a couple of years to get going, but AL is in full spped now. That is Rocket Booster that you asked about. It is actually in rebloom now.

Everything is fantastic but my very favorite is Lava Flow. Mine is full of scapes and soon ready to bloom and I know it is such a stunning flower. I also just love that last picture of the dayilies looking good!

Beautiful Monday blooms! If I could only pick one it would be Garrett Mason, but then Lava Flow is very interesting too!

They are all very pretty Kay. You must be exhausted just from taking pics, working in your garden and then working full shifts at work. You will wonder just how you did it all before you retired. LOL.

Julia

Thanks Rita,
I always love to get a shot of that grouping (accidental by the way). Lava Flow is a beauty, and I love hot colors. Your bloom is just about to really "take off".

Thanks, nat4b, Garrett Mason always takes a lovely photo...kind of like Exquisitely Subversive...their blooms are beautiful and the photos are at least as pretty. It is a really good bloomer too.

Julia, I got the call today verifying that I was really going to do retire and verify the date. My job will be posted and I am not at all unhappy about it. I am so looking forward to sleeping nights and being awake days like normal people. I get tired much quicker than oh say five years ago. And the bum knee, that was the reason I discovered this forum, gives me "fits" at times. Thank you for looking, commenting, and always, and for the encouragement.

JOAN SENIOR is getting my attention. I think I remember your making positive remarks about her before. But my favorite photo is the last one. I looked at it for a long time. I like the way the flowers have similar color schemes but differing forms.

Christine

Kay, they still look great! Other work to do in the garden isn't much fun but it seems to relieve some stress. I have reset some nubs that are favorites that voles got to. I put them in a raised bad to try to salvage them.. happy gardening!! Ellie

Thank you Christine. I was going to shovel prune it last year when suddenly it started blooming, and this year it has been a blooming machine. It has many, buds on many spikes and has been blooming for weeks.

Thank you Ellie. I have done no work outside except for taking pictures today. I went to see the new Grandson instead. I hate the little voles. they have cost me daylilies, roses, and almost one clematis but I put it in a pot in the greenhouse and it is doing well now.

I hope you save them.
kay

I usually go for color, but your Joan Senior is really looking good. Garrett Mason is looking really nice too.

Oh my...look at the scapes and buds on Always Lovely! She gets my vote.
Kathy

Joan Senior has been a blooming fool here even in this horrible drought and heat. It did take a few years for her to come on, but the wait was worth it. Your photo of Joan is very good.
Bought the first Forsyth, "Flaming Snow" this spring. It has 3 bloom scapes and I hope to post pix. I really like "Garret Mason", must look into more of the Forsyth d.lilies. "Rocket Booster" is a real attention getter, really nice color. Avedon

Always Lovely looks like a blooming machine! Wow! Love that group picture with all the lovely reds and pinks. My favorite flowers are Lava Flow and Garrett Mason.
Val

Love Lava Flow and Garrett Mason, Joan Senior looks great to. My Joan Senior has never done anything for me I'm getting ready to shovel prune her but maybe I'll wait awhile she may surprise me.
Linda

Thank you so much for looking and letting me know which ones you like. ngraham, Variety is good, so I like some soft ones even though color usually wins the day for me. As long as Joan doesn't flare out from sun, she takes a great picture. Linda, Joan is a slow starter; as I said I had decided to shovel prune her when she suddenly came into her own. Here are a couple of scapes from back in late May...and she has 15 scapes! Give her a bit more time.

Avedon, That is rebloom on Rocket Booster. It is a reliable rebloomer for me. I don't have Flaming snow yet, but I am still adding to my Forsyths.

Val and Kathy, Always Lovely is a bloom machine. She is a good one for the back of a bed too, since she is quite tall.

Linda and ngraham...I myself love Garrett Mason. It is another good bloomer from Forsyth. It tends to give pretty photo opportunities on a regular basis.

I really do appreciate all of you taking the time to look at them and tell me what you think
kay

I like Linda Beck; just added that, so am glad to see it looking good (hope that doesn't jinx its performance here).

Love Garrett Mason, and Joan Senior, too.They are all very pretty,and I love that last photo, too.
