Brad, sorry for you about your mom. Sometimes grace and peace come in different ways as you know. And glad wedding went well. And I know your garden will help you put everything in perspective. Still love your seedling! Good thoughts for you this week.

My condolences on the passing of your mom. And congrats on a successful wedding. I am glad your weather was perfect for it.

Your first seedling continues to amaze me. Such a green throat and the green is on the sepals too. The other two are lovely too--such vivid colors.

Did you take pics of Dick's garden?

So sorry to hear about your mom. Even if you are prepared it still almost comes as a shock when it finally happens.......Congrats on the wedding. Ky weather can be iffy in June........I like your last seedling. A color that is fiery for a hot summer. Very nice........Maryl

Very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. To me, gardening is a way of helping heal with the death of a loved one. so here's a hope that your garden will do the same for you. Your seedings are very nice--really like the first one.

Thanks so much everyone!

So sorry about the passing of your Mom. Thumbs up on the great wedding. Wishing you peace, getting into the garden will definitely help with that. Your seedlings are wonderful! The first is my favorite.

Regrettably I didn't even think of taking pictures at Dick's garden. I sure wish I had.

Very sorry to read of your Mom's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am glad to hear that the wedding went well and everything was beautiful. Very pretty group of seedlings!

Nice seedling Brad. Sorry to hear of your mother passing. Maybe Dick will post pictures of the garden you were so enchanted with. Eye candy for all. :)

When you drive up to Dick's house, from the front you see a few daylilies, his car license plates which both say daylily on them and a sign about daylilies. These were clues. His yard in back, however, is at least 10 feet below the house, and you could have a panoramic view of his vast collection.

Brad, I am so very sorry about your mom's death. It is always hard, expected or not. Glad that the wedding could go off well. I agree with the others that gardening is a comfort. Wow! It sounds as if Dick's garden is magnificent. Glad you were able to see it. And, your first seedling is a wonder. Beautiful and different.

My anniversary is July 4...we tell ourselves every year that the fireworks are "for us"...we're more than happy to share with you and your new wife and your mom though.

Cheers!

Actually Anika, it was my 2nd oldest son that was married! I don't think you saw previous posts that mentioned that. Thanks for the wishes. My wife and I will celebrating 37 years in Aug.!

Nope, sure didn't! Have I mentioned I'm terrible with human names? At least there aren't hundreds of faces to memorize on this forum too or I'd truly be lost. XD I'm newly back to librarianship after being a stay-at-home-mom and it's taken a full month to 'remember' faces of regulars who are in every day.

Give me a flower, call number in multiple class schema, a dog, or a painting and I usually retain every detail, go figure (except tree ids...those I find really hard too).

That first seedling up above really is incredible...I keep coming back to ogle.
