    Laura-Sounds like a Santa movie I saw once....too cute.

    I'm traveling to Tennessee tomorrow to a daylily farm. Like I need more daylilies but heck I sure do like to see ones I don't have. Several of us daylily lovers went last year and had a fun day checking out daylilies.

    started digging today, it will take me two days since I can't breathe well, went in for chest x ray, they found a 10 cm shadow on right lung so gonna do ct in next couple of weeks, so could use prayers from those of you who pray, that its not cancer. hoping for pueunomia seems weird but i am. by the time cancer shows on an x ray it is usually too late to treat. so positive thoughts please. can't wait for my suprise, I love suprises, hope Suzanne loves her box, picking some beauty no name days, should take pic but gotta breath to do that. will mail by friday. big hugs to all my bloomin friends

    Veeja11,

    How scarey. I'll keep you in my prayers. My mom had cancer, so I know what a terrible thing it is. I do hope that it is simply pneumonia. Take care and good luck with the ct.

    Thankyou all for your prayers and good wishes, finished digging today, woke up worried that i will not be able to do Julys swap. could some sweet person take it on for me or trade for a later month. it seems to take more energy than i have to just get on the computer. darn ct is really booked up so it could be up to three weeks before I know whats wrong, todays hubby diagnosis is toxic mold, holdin onto straws here. big hugs carol

    Susan - your package is on its way should be there friday..
    9405 5036 9930 0324 1619 43
    I hope you enjoy the extras I added. and that they make their trip in good condition.

    Sharon - got the box today thank you. it looked like it got beaten up on the way here. everything looked good except the clematis the whole stick is dead and almost hanging off, should i just chop off the stick or leave it? there are 2 green leaves on it, the root ball looks great. I was surprised to see buds on the tango lily.. I hope they open for me and the move didnt shock them too much. I ended up sharing the formosa lily, gamecock iris, and a daylily with my mom i let her choose between 2 of them and she chose the eternal memories, shes happy!! Thank you for the extras. Cant wait for everything to grow.

    Nikki, glad you liked the box. I would leave the stem on the clematis, but even if the stem dies, the clematis should come back next year from the roots. I was debating about taking off the buds from the Tango dot com lily but thought how much fun it would be for you to see it bloom if possible. Yep, the Asiatic lilies are just beginning to bloom here.

    Carol, I'm so sorry to hear of your health problems. Wishing the best for you.

    Ill Guess Raspberry Candy

    Jayeanne

  • EricaBraun
    9 years ago

    Looks like Raspberry Candy, but since that's been guessed, I'll try:
    Raspberry Cupcake

  • EricaBraun
    9 years ago

    I have a question. I've seen Carol ask a couple times if someone will take July for her and then I see the list posted above with names assigned to months. Can someone please tell me what that's about, as I am new to OBF and am completely clueless.

  • beth_b_kodiak
    9 years ago

    Carol, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hope Greg has picked the diagnosis right for you.
    I would offer to do your Christmas in July but we have a wedding to go to and expect to be away about 10 days.,
    Erica, at the start of the year we sign up to hostess certain months.Christmas in July has been Carol's baby for several years now.. Hope someone else can explain in more detail. It's not difficult, but it is time consuming.
    Shirley, that is a beautiful Daylily but I'm clueless on the name.

  • Panhandle_Seed_Swap
    9 years ago

    I will do July's swap. I have a very easy, fun idea.

    Ruth volunteered to do the December swap for me, but if she can't maybe Carol could do "Christmas in December"... ha! :) Carol, I hope the next two months bring some good health news to you.

    I forgot to mention that my box from Suzanne arrived the other day!! I can't believe how much you were able to fit in that box- and it all arrived in such good condition despite the heat! Everything has been planted except the mock orange cuttings which are in water, and the irises so the cuts can dry a bit more. Also I just saw your email about the aqua-mint... if you haven't already, don't trouble yourself sending that separate. Everything is already so wonderful!

    Carol, you are in my thoughts....prayers for you that all is A-OK. And extra prayers that you do not have to wait three weeks for a CT scan.

    Laura, Santa at Sam's Club...LOL...he must be getting ready for Christmas in July!

    Happy Friday!

    Shirley... that daylily is gorgeous. I'll guess Wineberry Candy.

  • cinnie0 (z 9b / So Cal)
    9 years ago

    As a newbie I was wondering how do you pick who does what month and does the person who gets that month choose what they want to do? are there any guidelines/rules, certain amount of games that need to be played etc. anything else us newbies should know?
    thank you
    nikki

  • lilangel181
    9 years ago

    Im going to guess Cherry Berry. It is a beautiful one, too!!

  • Panhandle_Seed_Swap

    Susan B.... I got your fantastic plant package today! Everything is already potted-up and resting in the shade. I think everything is going to make it because you sent them with great root structures. Thank you so much!

    Sheri-Thanks for taking July and reminding me Ruth took December.

    No one has guessed the daylily yet so you can guess again tomorrow when I give another clue.

    As Beth said about being Hostess for the monthly swaps. We pick the month we want in January of each year. The swap theme is totally yours. You can have as many games as you want to play. If someone sees they can't host the month they picked, ask someone else to take it. Hope this helps with all the new members who have joined.

    Since I will be at the market most of the day tomorrow I will give you the next clue but don't guess until Saturday.

    Still working on the first word of the daylily name:
    No one has guessed the correct berry yet...so pertaining to the berry it grows wild as well as tame. Although I perfer the wild ones for they are so good.

    Shirley

  • EricaBraun
    9 years ago

    Hmm. That is proving to be a crafty daylily. I guess:

    Huckleberry Candy

  • Panhandle_Seed_Swap
    9 years ago

    Erica... I think you got it! Looks like it's a re-bloomer, too. I love re-bloomers.

    Shirley... this was an excellent swap. Thank you.

    Today, I'll be posting the July swap, so everyone can look it over this weekend.

    Sheri

  • pinkiris

    Jayeanne - Congratulations the daylily is Westbourne 'Blackberry Cobbler'. I met the hybridizer for the Westbourne daylilies (Mary Jane Meadows). Bought a lot of her daylilies when I went to visit her. I need to take pictures of some of them, they have names like Granny's Snuff Box, Granny's Bonnet, Mama's Banana Pudding, Newborn Baby and Piggy Pen to name a few.

    Shirley

    Wow! Thank you Shirley! I cant believe I got it right! LOL There are so ooooo many - I am starting to really get into these daylilys - so many and so beautiful! That is amazing you got to meet the hybridizer for the Westbourne lilys! What fun names she gives her plants too! I would love to see any photos Shirley - you know I still have yet to have a daylily bloom here yet for this year, LOL. We are about 5-6 weeks (or more) behind in the flowers/blooming on just about everything. (Believe it or not, the last heart on my bleeding heart just finished up this past week, and I still have Columbine blooming....LOL) Patiently waiting on the lilys now =) Thank you again Shirley!!
