    I am glad you got some needed rain. The daylilies always look lovely after a good rain. I love those garden shots--such an inviting place. Jellyroll Morton is my pick today, but I also like the clump shot of Love Struck Linda. I happy to say that Jellyroll Morton should soon be joining my garden. I probably won't see it bloom until next year though.

    Thank you, Nancy.JM may well bloom for you . It is a wonderful bloomer here and often reblooms a bit Jellyroll poses wonderfully for photos too.

    The clump of Lovestruck Linda is really impressive. You haven't had that one very long, have you? It must be a fantastic multiplier. I love the bight color on Muy Caliente! Jellyroll Morton and Crystalline Entity captivate me every time I see your photos of them. All the wonderful garden shots are the icing on the cake.

    Muy Caliente is one of my favorites of this group. Love the bold colorfast color. Mine is budded up here, so should be soon to bloom..........I've seldom seen a bad picture of Jellyroll Morton. It's on my (if I ever find room) list.....Your garden shot from the back of the PU is wonderful. So many colors. What is the daylily in the very front of the picture? The lavender purple patterned one?.............Maryl

    Thank you so much, Debra. Yes Love struck Linda is just second year as well as is Muy Caliente and they have multiplied beautifully,. Th Perseus Sandals seedling is already nine fans. so it is doing well. Leonard has increased to nine fans as well. That area of the garden was watered regularly for long periods during the drought so I suppose it helped, but the plants did their part too. And I seem to take multiple garden shots every day when it is peaking but I am saying oodby to blooming on several already so the numbers will be going down as always.

    The garden shots always are the winners. Lovestruck Linda does look good in clump form. Jellyroll Morton always shines for you.

    The lighting must have been ideal, as the colors really pop. I see that Pattern A La Carte is a Reimer. Is it a good multiplier?

    Thank you Kate! Mantis had such pretty Love Struck Linda clumps that I really wanted to grow it. And I always like garden shots when anyone posts them.


    Mantis, it had rained pretty much all day the day before and the sun was not out, just shady so the colors do show better under those conditions. As for Pattern A La Carte, it is first year and actually first bloom so I don't know if it is a good multiplier or not. His other ones that I have do seem to multiply well , but this one s a baby.

    Kay: Another wonderful group of garden pics and multiples. I'm so grateful you shared your Bob Marley with me. That pop of color is great. Second season here for it and it has multipled really well as has the others you gave me. No scapes on them yet but they will be coming.

    Edit: I meant to ask if Mean Green shows more muted color in your warmer climate than what I use to see in my NYS garden? I remember it being so vivid in color in NYS. Just curious.

    Hi Julia. I also am glad to finally be able to share a few with you since you have blessed me with several very desired ones, including Mean Green. I suspect mean Green is more muted in color than your description. It is often a bit deeper than this e first photo, but always close to it. and still much loved and appreciated. It does so very well here and Hot Tamales and REd Hots is also really doing well, and I am grateful to have it.
