    Hi Susie and All, here I am, not in this month's swap but have been visiting and enjoying all the pictures. Just came by to say hello to all my friends and tell you I enjoy this Circle of friends. O.k. got to comment too.
    Welcome Klikitat, this is a great group, glad to have you.

    Maryanne, (just my 2 cents)from personal experience, only time and baths will cure skunk. Also trying to keep dogs away from perimeter of yard in early evening when skunks are out. Don't know about inside the house, my sisters Boxer dogs did have a huge reaction to Febreeze...great big lumps under their skin. I was there when it occured it was so wierd to see. It had built up in their system over several months. Vet asked her if they had used it...(was sprayed on couch and carpet where they sleep) Can you get near your dogs with a wet washcloth to start and just pet them to start? I admire your patience with your dogs, they need you!

    Susie how do you water that back daylily field?

    Maureen love the wedding and flower picture.

    Beth, your photos are breathtaking.

    Mellen are you out travelling again???

    Susie, I am definitely in the August swap!Hugs Y'all, Susan/Giverny

    HI everyone. Don't have time to answer all right now, but just wanted to say hi Jeanette, Number 1 Angel. I'm sorry, I only see one post from you and it's from yesterday asking for my list. I wasn't able to respond yesterday. If the box is done that's fine. I'm really quite easy to please. If the box isn't done here's a couple of things I like, note cards would be nice, I love oriental lilys, hydrangeas, tulips, daffodils, clematis, daylilys, dark chocolate ......and who's the lucky one getting the homemade fudge?? I love any homemade desserts like banana bread, cookies, pound cake, brownies, carrot cake. My mother always baked from scratch so I'm spoiled :-) Not that most of us have time to make this stuff but I'm dropping hints for the future if any of my partners like to bake. Have a great day all, see you all tonight or tomorrow.

  • number_1_angel

    Thanks for your reply Maureen--and I love your roses--I sent you a gw email earlier too?? --Your box is started but not finished--some of these 'hints' just might work!!!;)
    Catch ya later--thanks again

    Hi all,
    Glad you all like that photo! Lol. Ok yesterday was rainy, now today feel like we are spinning into the sun, What next?!
    Susie,
    You have a good eye! The plant is Pulmonaria 'Roy Davidson'. Pulmonarias are hardy to zone 4. They do great in shade. Whenever I've seen them at nurseries in pots, they look really sad and not very impressive. Once in the garden though, I just love them!
    Remy

  • beth_b_kodiak

    Oh, Maureen, I'm the lucky one with the fudge and it is HERE today. I'm also very lucky to have Carol as my super partner.
    This box of goodies is huge and I'm going to unpack while I write. Otherwise I'll forget something. LOL, it is LOADED!!! There are several fans of iris. I love iris and hope to eventually have a nice big bed of them. I have no Idea what colors I already have planted here so whatever color these are will be most welcome.
    Something waxy green and yellow small evergreen looking leaves, very pretty and familiar looking but I can't put a name on it. Did I see this in your yard Carol? Where should I plant it?
    Daylilies, two, and there is a blom scape packed in with one so I can see what color it will be. What a good idea.
    I got a cheery yellow sun visor with an adorable little frog on it. Cute and useful too. Thanks Carol
    Oh Fudge, Yeah Fudge Yeah Carol. Mmmmm Can't thank you enough for that. Every once in a while I break down and buy fudge but is is never like homemade. This is heavenly. If another friend had not already claimed the title... I'd nominate you as #1Angel.
    OK, digging deeper, There is a pack of Mary Emgelbrit Garden notes and they will be quite useful. Two pair of pretty little ear rings, Pointsettas and plain gold balls. Just the size I prefer. A darling little angel pin in a red dress with green and white trim. It really does feel like Christmas!

    Oh, found a card and it says the plant is eunomus(??SP??) OK Is is a creeper/ground cover, and how much sun?? I want to try to make it as happy as possible here in this mizerably hot and humid climate.
    A snow man book marker, cute as can be and maybe he will help me feel cooler. A teddy bear shaped soap. A shower will definately cool me off. LOL A soft black beannie Bear with a brown nose. He is going into the bedroom. They are all quite happy.The other Bear is on top of the fridge with the one you gave me while I was visiting.
    More snowmen! A small candle holder AND a snowglobe.
    Carol, I still can't see the bottom of the box!!!
    A snow man Bath scrubby, cute, cute cute and I can take a hint. I'm heading for the shower soon.
    A new, nuts the squirrel. He seems to be in much better shape than the old one but he has not done the tour of the USA yet Maybe this year will be his turn and the original Nuts will get to retire (Not like me) Here is a rotund little Santa with a big pack full of candle. A stuffed bear witha red Santa Had. I may hang him on the Christmas tree. A very pretty Christmas Mug with a tree and presents on it. There is Plaid "ribbon" on the top and rim and handle. I'm taking that to work tonight.
    OHHH Here is a very very fat little squirrel with an acorn that is almost as fat as he is. He'll be in the LR on the coffee table for a while. I think He'll make everyone smile.
    Lastly, there is a lovely little mosaic plate that says "It takes a long time to grow Old Friends", how true and how much I appreciate my friends here...

    Oh Lucky you Beth, your the one who got the fudge. I'll trade you a piece of homemade pie for a chunk of fudge :-)

    You sound like you got a huge box of goodies from Carol. I love getting boxes!!
    Have a great day Beth.
    Enjoy that fudge, can you at least post a pic so I can just look at it and imagine eating it??

    Beth I am happy you liked your box, I am glad I got you as I went to hallmarks after christmas clearance with you and snowmen in mind. I was a bit unhappy that some said 2004 tho. The euonomus is emerald gold, it likes sun and won't get over 18 inches tall you saw it in my rose beds it is evergreen I grow mine as a little bush, you can root it by laying a piece on the ground and covering it with dirt. daylillies are mountain violet and cherry sundae, iris are yellow, lt blue and ? my daughter finally figured out what I like and came over today with a b day card saying spacecoast starburst was coming for my b day much better than the purple velour jogging suit I got last year, although I did return it and spend the money on daylillies. Since I was making fudge I made her some too her b day is on the 13th, she loves my fudge, so thanks to you she is happy also merry christmas hugs carol

    Phew, girls. How do you all keep up with these posts??? :) I've been busy with the darn job. I work in clumps and am off in clumps. This is my clump of time off.

    Susie - I'll answer your email later today... gotta ponder your questions. Heh. I had to hold your package as the one thing I ordered online never showed up... so I emailed the seller. Turns out it was returned to her for insufficient postage so she sent it back to me and refunded all my money. That was unnecessary, but very nice! Nothing huge, but I'll have to find something else in the meantime to spend that cash on. Once it arrives, your package goes out. To think that the month is half gone!!! Ack!

    I can't get over how gorgeous everyone's photos are. The flowers, the pets, the people. Great group here!

    Today I picked green beans for the first season ever! Enough to feed me and my husband. Can't wait to cook them up tonight with a thick steak.

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    maureen was kind enough to send me the following plants:
    a miniature african violet
    oriental lily purple sensation
    oriental lilium luminaries
    siberian iris steve
    a larger than life white peony
    daylily irma/uma upton -- maureen would love to hear the story and see the pic
    and (this brought tears to my eyes) daylily all american baby in honor of gianina (who, have i told you all yet today that i just totally love!!!!!)

    i also received floral stickers, a box of whitman chocolates, eucalyptus bath salts and a bottle of nail polish (which is perfect, because i just borrowed some from my neice, now i don't have to buy one!)

    maureen, i love the stationary you sent your note on. very nice!

    maureen, what a wonderful box. you noted it was your very fist one in this group of gardeners. may i add it was a wonderful box and a real privilege to receive. everything was just perfectly wrapped and arrived healthy. it will be an honor to have these plants a part of my gardens.

    thanks again :)

    be well, happy blooms!

    HI everyone. It's a beautiful night here on Long Island, about 80 deg and a light breeze -- feeling somewhat tropical.

    Well I went to the daylily grower who lives nearby, and I was a bit unimpressed. She told me she grows 800 - there is no way this lady had 800 daylilys. She was a nice lady, and her gardens were very pretty -- but not so much better than mine:-) I guess when I hear AHS display garden I expected more. I got 3 named, 2 not registered, un-named, hybridized by her. Then, 2 days later one of the fans bloomed -- the wrong daylily. I got a double fan of "but I can dream" and one of them is NOT. It is a completely different color/type bloom. I was a little annoyed, since she dug them right from her garden while I was there - but I guess people make mistakes, right? When I emailed her, she told me I should bring it back to her and she would replace it. Now if that was me, I would have offered to bring the correct one to my customer, to keep the customer happy. I will NOT be buying anymore from her. I emailed her and told her I would keep the wrong one, and asked her for the name of the daylily I got that was wrong and I'm waiting to hear back from her.

    Oh well...anyway

    Maryanne, I am so glad your box arrived so quick. 2 days, wow. I'm so glad you liked everything. I also have special fertilizer for African violets but I couldn't find it. When I find it I will mail you a packet of it.

    Here's Irma upton daylily and the story behind it.

    {{gwi:71182}}


    As told to me by Ida Flynn (Flynn's daylily gardens)
    She stated it is not on the AHS website, so it must not be registered... "The hybridizer, Mrs D.L. Mayo (Polly) was a friend and she did register several daylilies. I also know Irma Upton, who was Pollys best friend".

    Also, it is supposed to be more lavendar than the pic shows.

    I can't wait to see it bloom.

    Hope the chocolates didn't melt. What I would do for a whitman's chocolate right now (lol).

    And you are so sweet to compliment me on the box and plants, it was a pleasure having you:-) Enjoy the plants and that darling baby Gianini. What a pretty name. I'm loving these pics of her.
    Good night all

    Beth really sent such a neat "Holiday" themed package! Everything was in reds/greens, so festive!

    Holiday kitchen towel, Holiday scrapbook paper, Snowblizzard Daylily plant, Daylily- Seedling ? /purple (Beth, the marker smeared, could you clairify what it said, so I could label it?)
    Hosta-"The Night before Christmas" - gorgeous plant division! I love the drastic green (almost black color against the snow white), I'm sure it will be my favorite! Beth sent the original tag from the plant, so I could see what it looks like when full grown, and it's really stunning).

    Candy- green apple/strawberry, Debbie Macomber book "Angel's Everwhere". I can't wait to read it, being a Minister and CCD Teacher, I just adore Angel stories!

    Bell and Snowflake stamper set, really gorgeous snowflake glitter stickers!

    Beth, you OUTDID yourself! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I just love everything! Christmas in July was really in Beth's box today!

    Hugs for everything!

    Excuse the fast typing... What I meant to say was--Couldn't leave that out! I never spell check or even double check to see what I write.

    Hmm? My computer's acting strange. In the above post (that I tried to correct), it showed mismatched letters? Now, the post is fine? It's either-Gardenweb or I've got a virus! Off to run the virus protection program!
