Try Again Before I Quit This Website For Good

8 years ago

Just a couple of pictures to see if this will work. I lost a big long post, totally frustrated with this website.



Christmas In Oz--FFE--love this daylily


Westbourne Oranges For Christmas


Forsyth Flaming Snow


Black Falcon Ritual


NOID--supposed to be Pink Enchilada. I think it's Free Wheelin'. Send in your opinions, please.

    I hope you don't leave Avedon. I haven't tried to post anything lately, but will be trying later as my daylilies start to bloom more. I can't see going to the other site where 500 daylilies flash by in the blink of an eye and commenting on them is a hit or miss proposition (mostly miss if you aren't glued to the computer).......Anywho, you know I love Christmas in Oz. I lost mine over winter, but ordered it again. I couldn't be without it. Mine is small, so won't bloom this year..........Black Falcon ritual is a pretty purple UF. I like it........Maryl

    Great post, I'm glad it worked. Houzz has bee responsive in the past; they will probably fix it. Forsyth Flaming Snow is my favorite of the bunch.

    I lost three yesterday and two today; today I did reach the point of "Post" but it never got out of its "thinking" mode. In If this continues I will definitely be leaving. I do not understand why they bought Garden Web is they intended to destroy it, although I suspect they just considered us another pile of possible customers. I really like your Christmas In Oz, and Your Black Falcon Ritual is a beauty. That is a wonderful plant here and has been blooming so much....great one. I bought wo more on theauction today and anm currently figuring where all the new ones are going. I have a bit of time on some of them anyway.

    If they iron out the bugs, I will stay. I think this forum is a little more "intimate" to use an expression, although I do belong to NGA and will always post there, too. Debra, thanks about the NOID. I think it might be the one you think it is. I looked it up on the NGA database and there are a number of pictures for comparison, does look very similar, the colors are softer than Free Wheelin'. Maryl, here's another picture for you of Christmas In Oz, there were two blooms.

    Christmas In Oz

    BTW, Maryl, about Beautifully Embossed. It arrived late September last year, and it is planted in shade, so that may be the reason it's kind of puny. Only two scapes and the bud count was five and six on the respective scapes. We'll see how it shakes out over time.

    How about a few more pictures since I know these shouldn't disappear:


    Yazoo Elise Hintson--doing so much better since being moved last fall. This flower is huge.

    Pink Super Spider--this plant isn't doing as well as expected. I think after it blooms out, we will dig it up and replace soil and replant to see if that will make a difference.

    Susan Weber-FFO

    WB So Blue Without Teresa--great blue on the eye.

    Strawberry Candy--FFO

    Childish Dream

    Kirsten's Corsage--new, but this is the third flower, way better than the first two.

    How about a couple of clump shots:

    Heavenly Tiger Tails

    Westbourne Good Old Days

    I had trouble earlier in the week. I had to click “houzz photo” to add pictures instead of the “photo” button. It took an extra step and more time but worked. Everything is back to normal for me. My favorite today is your Westborne, love bitones!

    I hope you stay too. Although if they don't get the kinks out, no reason to stay. I have not tried today to post, I may give it s try in a fee minutes.

    I really like Christmas in Oz. Black Falcon Ritual is new in my garden, I hope it blooms this year. I really like the westbourn clump.

    I'm glad you're able to post more pictures now. I do think the NOID looks a lot like Wiregrass Greenstar - especially the green spilling out onto the sepals. Your clumps are gorgeous.

    I also post some of my photos on NGA, but this is my main group. I like that we can post larger photos and focus on just one poster at a time. So I hope these glitches are ironed out soon.

    I am like Debra, I like this forum because I like to focus on each person's post at a time. I just tried to add some pictures again, no luck. Of course, I have just been using my laptop to post, guess I could copy my files and take to the other computer, it has an up to date system. Maybe that would make a difference.

    I agree with Debra that your NOID is not Free Wheelin'.

    Westbourne Good Old Days, Heavenly Tiger Tails, and Christmas in Oz are my favorites today.

    I grow Free Wheelin' and that's not it (colors aren't bold enough) and I did once grow Wiregrass Greenstar (and shipped it south, forgot who to) and that looks very much like it (but it rarely bloomed so I'm going way back in memory). Your Black Falcon Ritual is my favorite of your group of lovelies. My Westbourne Good Old Days looks like yours, a big and bountiful clump. Love it. And please don't leave us! With all of us complaining they are bound to fix things.

    Lovely group! Hard to pick a favorite. My top picks are Christmas in Oz, Black Falcon Ritual, and Yazoo Elise Hintson.
