    More beauties! Heaven’s Edge is so pretty. Mine has begun blooming-thanks for it. Sugar Magnolia looks good with Joan Senior. You know I love the EITV blooms-mine should actually bloom this week! I like the bird house.

    Thank you, Kate. I am glad Heaven's Edge has begun blooming. the blooms have so much substance and it is extremely rare for there to be an imperfect one. It is a good plant and generally doesn't even have any pink to it here. The bird house has been waiting to be put up since the season started and the other funny shaped one should be up soon. Augar Magnolia is always so pretty. It is a real favorite. Probably one of the suitcase plants.

    Nice birdhouse. I assume the entrance is on the opposite side?....I always liked the pretty pink color on Sugar Magnolia and what a clump of Heaven's Edge........Maryl

    Thank you, Maryl and Nancy. Actually, Maryl, the bird house is probably larger than it looks: it is 17.5 inches long and is double with an entrance at each end. Heaven's Edge is such a good plant! The blooms have such a denseness that they look like porcelein, and it does have a lot of blooms, and they are not in the foliage .


    Nancy, I am glad the move meant Sugar Magnolia began to show its true beauty. I have a new birdhouse up with "See Rock City" on the roof but it turned out to be smaller than the original one. I still have one more birdhouse to mount and put out on the other pole. I dug a couple of two foot deep holes and planted the poles before we got all the rains and the pole on this one was twisted a bit of an angle but it refused to straighten up so I guess it will stand, My son in law got the 4X4 poles and planned to dig the holes but he had enough to do with the building he was doing so I dug them instead.

    Thank you Brad. that birdhouse was one of my Christmas presents from my husband.

    I have Stop the Show for ten years but it never did much. I moved it last fall and already it is much better. It was always short but now, well above foliage. Of course, Coco's Curisosity is one of Debra's Babies and Muy Caliente is one of Nancy's. They are both winners. Sugar Magnolia is is always a pretty one, Thank you so much for looking and commenting.

    I sure love those clumps shots, with the first three being my favorite. That's a pretty shot of Coco's Curiosity, but it looks to have short scapes for you this season. The colors on Crystalline Butterfly are wonderful! The new birdhouse is looking good too.

    I must have forgotten to submit my comment. The birdhouse has a crisp modern look with that clean white and perfect symmetry. I'm sure the birds will take to it. Looks roomy. How does Muy Callliente compare with parent Apache War Dance?

    Thank you, Mantis. Muy Caliente is an excellent plant. It has very rapid increase and many blooms. here it has a color toward red much more than orange.

    Kay, your daylilies have been outstanding this year. Your clump shots are amazing, especially Heaven's Edge. Your Ruby Lipstick is so much prettier than ours ever is. I also like Crystalline Butterfly. Muy Caliente! is looking pretty good too.

    thank you Nancy. Heaven's Edge looks like porcelain rather than plant material; I guess it is because it has such heave substance. Ruby Lipstick has always done pretty well even though it is in a bad place.Crystalline Butterfly is a favorite and so is Muy Caliente. Muy Caliente always looks more reddish orange than orange. I so enjoy that one.

    Beautiful pics. I think Heaven's Edge looks special in a clump. Does it get to the registered 31 inches?
