el desperado has so many buds! just great. those two together looks really great in the other pic. and I've had that North Wind Dancer on my maybe want list for while, what a nice one! :)

Love seeing your pictures, Kay. All the DLS are super. When our El Desperado bonus plant blooms, I hope the flowers will look as good as yours, but it's a small plant, so will probably be some years before it puts on a show. Billy the cat is a cutie and your gardenia is fabulous, I can almost smell it here-LOL. Avedon

It's great to see those clusters of blooms. Goldenzelle was given as a bonus, and true to Smiths, is not doing well here. Yours looks fine.

Billy the cat looks puzzelled! But the daylilies sure are gorgeous, just gorgeous. Love that Goldenzelle, too pretty. Your clump shots are all stunners with my favorites going to Persian Melon and Salty Sam.

Kansas City Kicker and North Wind Dancer are amazing looking!

What? More changes on Photobucket? I've been away with no computer access for four days, and I hate to see this. I always love El Desperado and Bluerigde Belle Cherie is really pretty, but I've got to pick that clump of Salty Sam as my favorite.

Debra

Fire in the Hole and big Red really do look great together. I love, love love Salty Sam though, such a lovely color

And I forgot to say what a beauty Billy is, I believe I see the back of another head in the photo :)

I have done it again. I do not know why I am such a ninny, but "Salty Sam" is, of course, Salty Skipper. I do not know where the "Sam" comes from, but I remember I did it once last year.

Deangreen, North Winds Dancer is a delicate bloom that usually twists in the nicest ways. El Desperado has been a bloom fctory for at least five years.

Thanks, Avedon. I started with two little fans of El Desperado, and it has grown very large. Yours will probably surprise you blooming.

Mantis, Goldenzelle sat for the first two years with maybe 4 blooms. I guess it has to settle. Maybe yours will improve.

Rita, Billy was grooming his nether regions when I said his name and snapped the pic when he looked up. He may have been startled.

Thanks, Mnclerk. I took pics early.

Thanks Debra. I left some pretty huffy feedback and then a somewhat modified piece for Photobucket. I stated downloading while they were making some of the changes apparently. Not pretty, but I caught on pretty quick. I did tell them I hated all of the repeated changing they were doing and that it was very stressful.

kay

They all look great, but those clumps of Salty Skipper and El Desperado are my favorites. Thank goodness I don't have to add to my wish list this time since I have both of those!
