| Been very busy here planting. Meanwhile the garden is jumping in color from all the blooms here. Mostly Clematis and Tall Bearded Iris. I also planted lots of veggies this year and more to do.

| Your flowers are so pretty. I love the pops of color in your iris beds! |

| Your irises are stunning Rita! I wish I could grow the newer cultivars but they're just not hardy enough here. Lisa |
|

| I have 2 Blueberry bushes in pots and one was full of blueberrys in the early afternoon, when I was leaving with a daughter to go loook at some plants,and thought when I come back, I have to get a little bowl and pick my berrys, when I came back I didnt have a blue one no where and have not seen any more either. The racoons found them and been eating them.Wish I had some thing to put on a few that would make them coons very sick for a few hours. Jean |

| Rita, your photos are so enjoyable to look at. You and I are so similiar in how we garden. I also tuck in lily bulbs between my already-crowded daylilies! Like you, I love so many different plants that my yard is a smorgasbord of every imaginable combination all snugly planted. I think if some fancypants gardeners came and looked around they would tell me I have TOO many plants in TOO small an area...Haha. But it works for me, and obviously you as well. I've thought of you lately because I just planted a whole bunch of new late-blooming daylilies. A lot are Olallie cultivars, some Hibbards and others. I bought some late-blooming intros from Christine Weitz of Gladsome Gardens in NY that looked nice and won't mind my cold winters. This fall I won't feel so depressed that the season is over, thanks to you! Your iris bed is my favorite photo of these. Just stunning! Celeste |

| Your garden is lovely, as always. Is that a white hibiscus in the first photo? What is the pinkish colored iris in the corner of the front yard? I love the caramel colors and dark purples together. The garden is beautiful now and it will continued being beautiful until winter. What more could you ask. |

| Thank you everyone for the kind comments. You all know how much I love my garden. Those white flowers are blackberry blooms. And I have a lot of clematis now as two years ago I think I got the crazies to add lots of them and so I did. Kay, that pinkish iris is OKAPI POPPY. Celeste, I know I may have a lot of daylilies but I could never be happy with just daylilies, or just roses or just iris or just lilies. Well, you get the idea. Each flower is part of the entire design. Taken me years and it is on such a much smaller scale than what you have ackomplished. I just don't know how you managed to create such a paradise as you have there but more power to you! I love your garden. |

| The darker more Copper collored iris in a big clump is GOLDEN PANTER. The yellow in the backround of the last picture is BEAUTY BECOMES HER. And the golden one in the front of that last pic is FIERY FIGGURE. |
