Houzz wouldn't let me edit my post to show a picture of the rose Therese Bugnet.

Beautiful! I thought I had fallen out of love with iris mostly, but this season (or lack of bloom) has rekindled. Maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder after all, LOL! Love your rose!

I am always amazed at the work you do for your sale! That is one good looking truck bed of daylilies. The iris are lovely. Such pretty colors.

We worked on the digging and washing for 2 days (not the whole days though) and spent Friday putting them in baskets according to type. We loaded up the truck Friday night and left the house at about 6:15 on Saturday morning. The fair goes on from 8 to 3. We are sure tired when we get home--getting too old for this, but we can't pass up the chance to get rid of a few and make a few dollars. I think we have been doing this for about 14 years. We have regular customers who look for our booth every year. We sold about 115 double fans.

And Nancy, they are such large healthy fans! When I dig a few for trade I always get a new sense of ”hats off” to those who do this on a regular basis!

Now that is one loaded pickup truck. That is a lot of work to dig, divide, clean and label.

Glad you did okay at the fair.

We shipped 10 boxes of daylilies a couple of weeks ago. It seemed like we worked all day shipping those 25 or so plants. Most hybridizers I know dislike the shipping side of the business.

I'm glad you did so well at the fair. Your irises are beautiful!

I admire the work for that sale totally! I have no idea how you manage it. I am so happy to see you blooms beginning. That frost hurt everyone, didn't it? My Muy Caliente will be blooming soon and has just about doubled its fans. That is one great plant!
