Kay - 16 new daylilies will go into that garden. In no particular order, JOLYENE NICHOLE, FAIRY TALE PINK, INWOOD, COSMOPOLITAN, MINI PEARL, OLE OLE, a seedling (BETTY WARREN WOODS x FOOLED ME), LAURA HARWOOD, LAKE NORMAN SPIDER, RUBY SPIDER, SPACECOAST FANCY DANCER, BARBARA MITCHELL, REAL WIND, SPIRITUAL CORRIDOR, ETCHED EYES and BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS. Not sure how I will arrange them in the new bed yet though. Can't wait til they are in there and start to fill in the area. I think the colours will look good with the plain white backdrop of the garage siding. Jason

Here is a link that might be useful: About Chocolate plants ....

In the reader comments of the 50th anniversary online articles, I'm struck by how many claim "so and so confessed on his death bed..."

Wish we could just mourn for the loss of more optimistic times without sullying the whole thing with [insert your favorite conspiracist here].

I have pole beans: Peregion- a nice semi bush, Valena Italian- a good dual purpose bean, Rattlesnake, and Christmas Lima. I would be interested in any of the following Tomatoes: Riesentraube, Amana Orange, Pineapple, Ice, Indigo Rose, Evergreen, Hillbilly, and Peiping Chieh.
