All the garden shots and clumps are glorious! The photo that I like best is of Rose F. Kennedy. She's so lovely in a group. The colors are wonderful!

Debra

Beautiful pictures! The ones that catch my eye are Jelly Roll Morton and Rose F. Kennedy.

Nancy

Jelly looks good, I just got mine this spring, it is looking good so I hope to see some blooms. Stealth Bomber really makes an attractive clump. Black Falcon Ritual is beautiful, so is rose F Kennedy and Neon Flamingo. Can you tell I seem to be on the pink/purple phase this year. Although Mint Octopus is right with them.

At the rate you are going, tomorrow may be best garden day ever! They just keep coming! Garden shots look wonderful. Don’t stay out working long in this heat!! Mint Octopus continues to look so pretty-you should be pleased with it! And Neon Flamingo just glows!

O my, Kay! You are absolutely surrounded by beauty!!!!!!!!! So many stand outs, great clumps and group shots as well. A few that stand out to me: Neon Flamingo, Mint Octopus. BFR, Jelly Roll Morton, Stealth Bomber, and Entwined in the Vine.

Brad

Wow. There is no way I could pick a favorite. I love your group photos and garden shots!

These are all wonderful and love the garden shots. Obviously the frost hit you got early on never impacted your beautiful garden.

So many gorgeous beauties! Love the garden shots, your beds look great. Jelly Roll Morton, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Rose F. Kennedy are my favorites. Your hydrangea is beautiful as well.

Dazzling! What is the tall red bitone in the salvia-to-the-left shot?

Your garden is so lush. It's got to be a real chore to keep the weeds down. Too many nice ones to pick and choose, but I don't think I've seen Rocket Man look much better..........Maryl

Thank you all.. in reverse order:

.Maryl, I will start with you...I am always happier working in the garden than most anywhere. I do actually get pleasure from weeding because it leaves everything looking right.

Mantis, That is Long Legged Lap Dancer...silly name, but nice tall plant and quite attractive; it is doing well for it's second year and that is Mean Green to the right of it.

Thank you Lori...the main work is in fall when I mulch everything...I do have to watch even in winter because some of the stinking weeds don't die. ..

Thank you Julia...it did impact the foliage, and it hasn't totally recovered but the blooms weren't bothered.

Brad, It was really surreal because there was so much blooming today. I didn't show Compassion, but that rose had a couple of huge clumps of buds and blooms...to be honest, I actually prefer the way it usually blooms...singles and small clusters, but it looked impressive..but it was so fun...even my spouse who used to tell me daylilies looked like Johnson grass has changed...He actually takes photos and shows them off too...now that is fun..

Kate, surely this is the best day. I had several FFEs that I didn't even post today...talk about exciting!

Nancy, I like purples and pinks too...Jelly should bloom for you.

Nancy, those are two of my favorites too. Thanks you Debra. I have loved RFK since I got her...and the groups always please me, but this was aneat geoup which was great
