    You've got some beautiful flowers blooming. Really can't pick a favorite daylily. My favorite pictures though are the ones of the driveway/path? and the one with the mountains in the background. Just gorgeous.

    Beautiful, beautiful and more beautiful. Everything is beautiful. That red HIBISCUS is stunning. I never realised that the flowers are that big. Your daughter is really pretty!

    I just love that garden view pathway shot and the one of the mass of coneflowers that follows it. I don't know how you manage the upkeep on all your garden. Not a weed in sight and everything is so neat and tidy. Beautiful daylily blooms on top of everything else.

    I love the view from the driveway! Just gorgeous! Your daughter is as pretty as those huge hibiscus flowers. Having her in the photo was a good way to show everyone just how large those flowers are. EL DESPERADO is my favorite of the daylilies!

    Yay! I love seeing your pics! Very pretty. I like your road with the swing and your hibiscus- I have Plum Crazy for the second year and am amazed at how it keeps putting out new buds. Your daughter really is very lovely:)

    Hey Celeste, Like mother like daughter! Tiffany is beautiful. Your flowers are quite lovely. Do you have something growing on your big white arbor? Judy

    All of your photos are gorgeous what a stunning garden you have, your photo with the mountains in the distance makes me home sick for New England.

    Everything is unbelievably beautiful. There are almost no words to adequately describe your garden. Your daylilies, lilies, and garden shots take my breath away. I'll just say that the most beautiful of all of this is your daughter Tiffany. Avedon

    You have some lovely flowers! Can't pick a favorite daylily, as they all look nice.
    Your daughter is very pretty!
    Like others, I love the driveway shot and a sea of black-eyed susans

    You have many beautiful blooms, and Tiffany is surely the lovliest.

    I especially like the way Lady Nevy and Orchid Corsage.

    Love the red hibiscus. I have a red, but not that big. It really makes a nice picture with your daughter. Lady Neva has one bud left & she will be gone here. I don't remember her being this late before, but I wish it were always late. she made a nice show this year. I love the scenic pics of your path, & the mountains.

    I have enjoyed reading your comments. Thank you for always being so thoughtful in responding...it makes posting pictures worth all the trouble!

    I asked Tiffany to be my 'model' because without anything to compare them to, I wouldn't be able to show just how HUGE these blooms are. Even though Tiffany is 18 she is teensy (under 5 ft. and under 90 lbs) so maybe they look even bigger next to her....but trust me, they are way bigger than your head. Thank you for your compliments for Tiffany,
    and my gardens as well. Jean, I also have the rose 'Tiffany'...and I have the daylily 'Tiffany Gold' which is new & didn't bloom yet. Judy, there are roses at the base of the arbor but I had to whack them back in July when the beetles nearly stripped them of leaves.
    Just for fun, here's a picture of Tiffany from her senior prom this past June. It wasn't easy finding a ballgown in a size 00...(and we even had to have it taken in!).

    God bless you all,
    Celeste

    Ooooh, love that shade of purple. Bummer that there aren't many excuses for adults to wear fun formalwear unless you're an Oscar winner :)

  • 14 years ago

    Lovely, lovely young woman. Beautiful EYES!

    I have the same red dinner-plate Hibiscus, and I have a giant pink one called, 'Sweet Caroline' that I bought last year. It bloomed and bloomed through the triple digit heat and our drought. It is resting now, but getting ready to bloom again I believe. My white one is still going. That thing never stops blooming from June til frost. Heat and drought never seems to bother it at all.

    Love your mountain overlook view with the Black-eyed Susans.

    You've probably spent more time keeping the boys away than inviting new daylilies in!
