| An old one, but a pleasant early greeting--tremendous substance and texture. Marie Hooper Memorial
Pat Garrity (about 4 1/2 inches) poor bud count
ISLE OF ZANZIBAR Not the greatest bud count (around 7) but a bright early attraction
HEAVENLY STARFIRE Big and showy
IN THE HEART OF IT ALL Size reflects ample rain
ETHEL BUCCOLA Should have gotten a better picture, but a new one that is pleasing.
PUMPKIN PRINCE heavily budded
WEB OF INTRIGUE Great performer
KILLER More blue-purple than pic (Was facing wrong way, so not good pic)
Early morning sun casts long shadows in hosta garden. Tiki head in right of picture.
Planters already filling out.
Simplicity of larkspur that look as though they were planted with careful color mixture.

| In the background of Heavenly Star Fire is a smoke bush. |
|
| Your daylilies are great! My faves are MARIE HOOPER MEMORIAL, ETHEL BUCCOLA and PUMPKIN PRINCE. Love your hosta garden and your planter is gorgeous! Also really like your larkspur. Jason |
|
| Heavenly Starfire looks great planted in front of that purple-leaved bush. I love the planter and the larkspurs! Debra |
|
| Really like Ethel Buccola and Maria Hooper Memorial, your planter and larkspurs are stunning. Linda |
|
| Your planter looks superb. I've never had one look that fancy, but then again, I think I counted 7 different kinds of flowers in there, and I don't think I've ever tried to put that much variety in a single planter. I should try it. Casey |
|
| Marie Hooper Memorial & Web of Intrigue are my favorites. Love larkspur too, although mine don't tend to reseed so attractively as yours. Great planter! |

| Planter has two shades of angelonia (white is not visible in picture), lavender vining geranium, dark verbena, purple superpetunia, and two shades of calibrachoa. |

| Actually, there are three shades of calibrachoa. Also, I am embarrassed that the daylily Isle of Zanzibar is mislabeled; the one pictured is Tar and Feather, and the bud count is about 10-12. |
|
| Don't you just love WEB OF INTRIGUE? Here it has over 20 scapes this year so far that are above the foliage with others making their way up. All the pics are great. Thanks for sharing. Julia |

| Yes, Web of Intrigue has the vigor I am always looking for. My only reservation is that it doesn't take the heat well (but doesn't degrade as badly as some). |
