    Bright and beautiful!! Just love all these pretty colors. You have one that I don't remember seeing before, and that is WB WHIPPORWILL CALL. Maybe you posted it and I just don't recall. Anyway, I can tell you really like the WBs. If we ever get out of this terrible drought, I hope to add some to our garden. I must just comment on your first two pictures, wow, so vibrant, and of course, Sugar Plum Jam which just knocks me out--fabulous color and form. Hope the rain did not flood you out, let us know, we are concerned. Avedon

    The rain did lots of damage in parts of Long Island and New Jersey but it is all fine here. I live high so no flooding. I have posted WESTBOURNE WHIPPERWHIL CALL many times before and WESTBOURNE PEACHES PICKLED too

    Avedon, I sure hope you guys get the rain you need and very soon so the weather pattern can turn around for you. I think you would really like the Westbourne intros. They are just so vibrant and full of color.

    Lovely group! I like the second picture of yellow and red daylilies together, I should try this combination too.
    My favorite is Sugar Plum Jam.

    Rita, it is hard to choose, so I won't i like Sugar Plum Jam, Dancing With Sandra, and August Sunset and
    Apache War Dance.

    I am down to three still blooming. Blooms in mid-August are astounding really.
    I have turned to digging up rejects for DD and planting the new ones as they come. Kind of fun, actually.

    nat- They do look great together but the color combo was just a happy accident. I didn't actually think about it when I placed them.

    Kay, the ones blooming for you must be reblooms but still, very astonishing in mid August. I have some of my Hibard intros that are going really strong now and of course the Olallie late bloomers plus some others.

    Lots of beautiful ones, & I like them all. The one that really stands out for me is sugar Plum Jam though. I'm glad you aren't getting washed away, I imagine from all your terraces it would take a lot of rain to get to your garden.

    Thanks, Nancy. The garden is soggy today even though the sun has come out. My straw paths are just sopped and squish when I walk on them. I just didn't do any garden work today, will wait. So by tomorrow it should be better for digging and doing.

    I'd have to saw Sugar Plum Jam is my favorite. It looks like it just jumps out to get your attention!

    What a great group of pics to look at!! Several nice ones that I don't remember seeing before. Sugar Plum Jam and Apache Wardance are my favories here. The zinnias are a great punch of color to have. Did you start those from seed? I don't remember.

    Lisa, thanks. SUGAR PLUM JAM had really become a favorite this year.

    Cindy. I start some zinnias from seed but I also buy flates in the spring to get an earlier start. Those I bought at the local nursery.

    Jean, glad you like OLALLIE KEITH. I posted another picture of it today looked all good with the raindrops yesterday when I took a picture.

    Linda, thanks. I took lots of pictures of SUGAR PLUM JAM this year as I liked it so much. It is done blooming now.
