    I really like your unknown just above 'Red Ribbons' - I like the delicate, detailed lavender eye on cream. I'm getting ready to place a small order with Marietta, and I'll have to see if they offer something along those lines. I "need" a couple purples/lavenders and another pink/rose, since I expanded a front bed this spring. . . .

    (My kids like Parker, by the way. The "Can we get a puppy?" chorus is deafening around here lately.)

    Hey Gerard,
    Could that be Destined to See above RED RIBBONS? Mine is not blooming yet but it sure looks like it to me.

    Its got a tag in the dirt somewhere around it?
    I use stamped aluminum tags (engraved type thing) so ill have to dig around to find out for sure? The yellow ribbon-like one too is a registered CV just have to get the tag from under the giant ant hill at its feet. Reluctant to get rid of the ants though i had an aphid probelm a week or so ago which disappeared with their arrival, also found some termites around the fallen bark around the pecan tree, and i know the ants eat those too.... so im going to let them stay for the time being?

    You can have PARKER but not SPIDER MIRACLE.
    shes always coming back from the pasture caked in cow manure (fresh) completely coated in the stuff. Stinky and nasty wanting to rub up on you. Then she rubs half off on the rug, and the other half all over the yard in the grass, and you step in it and smell it for weeks!!!!
    AHHHHHHHHHHH come get her right now!!!

    G, the pic that numama thinks is " Destined To See " also looks like Off Beat, Maryott. Have you ordered from Bill in the last couple of years?....Ellie

    Actually upon closer examination...my pic of destined to see has a purle edge, your pic does not.

    Wow, Gerard, they all look great. I especially like Parade of Peacocks. I won't be seeing any DL blooms for a couple months! Except on the new ones that had scapes when they arrived.

    I am definitely going to have to look for DEVIL'S FORK--that's a beauty, Nancy.
    Here are a couple I have blooming--no names, unfortunately:

    Wonderful pictures, Gerard! Love your brick walkways! I wish! Parker, too...sometime I'll post some of my "helpers".

    Nancy, those iris are so beautiful! I'm leaving today for 10 days and am so sad that I'll miss the rest of mine....plus, a few of the southern daylilies are starting...and I'll miss those, too...boohoo. Looks like Mississippi Memories will have two buds open TOMORROW...don't you know it!
