Thank you, Mantis. Yes, an unusual number of plants are giving subpar early blooms probably due to the drought.

My husband is holding Cocoa and his feet need to be firmly planted as Cocoa is all about play and would like to go for a run. I have to do that, as my husband has a very bad back and cannot run these days; My runs are short as it happens. no long runs anymore though we once ran regular races and even a marathon once...but that was then.

Another lovely group Kay. The berry color yarrow looks great. I have yellow and then a smaller verion of it in berry color which doesn't get tall. My goodness your puppy is no longer a puppy but so cute. We too will get the heat this coming week.

Lillian's Vapor Trail looks quite floriferous. The yarrow is magnificent, and Cocoa looks good as a young adult!

My buds on Lillian’s Vapor Trail look similar. It should bloom well. I love the color of the yarrow. I have had yellow, white and red but never that color!! Cocoa is precious! Looks like a good companion!

We usually don't go for white daylilies, but Lillian's Vapor Trail is lovely. I also like Mint Octopus. Cocoa is a handsome dog. Give him a pat on the head for me.

Thank you all, Debra, you know floriferous flowers. Cocoa looks uncharacteristically calm in the photo.

Kate, that yarrow came from the company either Sherry or Maryl recommended; Romence Gardens.

Nancy, a little white is good and that Lillian does produce it abundantly.

Cocoa is a pretty shade of brown and white with friendly eyes. I hope he gets along with the cats, but I'm sure he probably does considering his momma.......Heaven's Edge appeals to me this time. Such a sweet gentle color.... Romence was a good source for a variety of plants that appeared to me during the Covid years. The quality of their plants was unbelievable back then, and although they can still be good, the quality hasn't consistently matched that peak in the last few years. ...........Maryl

Thank you, Maryl, Cocoa loves to try to get the cats to jump, but they inore him; except for Kayie who wants to pick at him when he is in the crate for time outs. He gets a lot of compliments from people who see him on walks.

Heaven's Edge is one that has so much substance and yet is a delicate color; it looks like porcelain.

Romence is still better than a lot of others though.even though it fell from the earlier days.

Who is holding Cocoa? (Feet seem firmly planted.) Not really a fan of yarrow, but that's a nice spread. Roman Cohort will open better later. It's a nice cultivar.
