Cup of Cold Water

Houzz is up to its shenanigans again. There are some more.

Aaron Brown, after many years of frustration, suddenly....

Wonderful clump shots. Memphis looks great. Love the combination of Ocean Spirit and Scandinavia. Bob Marley and Birthday Wishes show up well against the wall. Just lots and lots of spectacular blooms here! And I am glad Aaron Brown shaped up for that shot!

Well, you've done it again. Another outstanding selection of beautiful blooms! The one that most caught my eye is Heavenly Hidden Treasure....WOW. Ocean Spirit is another standout, one that never seems to take a bad photo. I like Carolina Dale's bright contrast and The Food Channel & Martha Edson Norris look great to me. Memphis is pure perfection. I would probably never try it here with those elaborate, frilly edges but your photo of it is tempting.

I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful clumps. My favorites are Memphis and Ruby Lipstick, two that are outstanding there in Ohio but did not do well this year for me. The combo of Ocean Spirit and Scadanavia works well, and Aaron Brown is stunning in clump.

Carolina Dale and Aaron Brown probably figured out you weren’t happy with the performances they had given, they looking lovely now. Victorian Lace and Salty Skipper are lovely today, my favorites. I really enjoy all of the clump shots in the gardens. Here I’ve made a lot of changes the past few years and am waiting for many to get to a leap year.

I am curious: do people see the pictures under "comments" in a larger size, or in a small size? I have found that if you enter Houzz via an old post before the dreadful experience of Houzz, the pictures are large, as I am seeing now.

The pictures in the comments are a smaller size for me.

Debra

Debra, you should try entering via an old post. Once I do that, I always get large pictures. Recently, I restarted my computer and was startled to find those small pictures. Then I re-entered via an old Garden Web post and now get large pictures again.

On my desktop here at home I see the photos in comments as the same large size. However, when I went on a trip recently and used my husband's laptop, the photos in comments were much smaller. I was surprised since I'd never seen it that way before and wondered the same thing as you.

Wow! Such a great post, I like every one from Shout to the Mountaintops to The Food Channel. I do like the bright colors of Carolina Dale and Aaron Brown, although sounds like not been great for you. Good look on Heavenly Hidden Treasure, and I always love Salty Skipper. Bob Marley looks great. I am a fan of the different look of Birthday Wishes.

Great selection mantis. Great ruffling on some.Aaron Brown, Bob Marley, Heavenly Hidden Treasure and Birthday Wishes are my favorites in this grouping.

When I click on your photos in this post they pop up large but viewing just in comments they appear the same as most of the posts in the forum. Not really small but typical if that makes sense.

I think Debra is the only one who gets the really small pictures in comments. Again, I think if you enter Houzz via an old pre-Houzz post, you will from then on get the larger pictures.

Kay keeps enabling me on Bob Marley. It is a color I like and it looks great in your garden. In a similar vein, I liked Birthday Wishes enough to look it up and find out it's a Selman............. Both of the cream whites are pretty, Thelma and Victorian Princess. I don't usually like daylilies in white, but darn those both have such great form.........Maryl
