WOW, look at that jumble of beautiful blooms on World Premiere! Mine is just barely showing scapes but now I can't wait. I have that Centerfold lily too. It certainly is unique. I have lost several of my lily bulbs every year, presumably from chipmunks or moles. I also love Sultry Summer. It is a beauty. Celeste

Thanks everyone for the comments. Karen: Send me an email with your info and I'll mail them to you. I cut off 10 of the greyish/black pods this morning after reading your post. Have the pods on a paper towel drying before I open them up and check the seeds and see how many there are. We had downpours of rain last night and early this morning. Julia

Deangreen, that is a birdhouse sold by Rock City. We had to almost rebuild it to make it stable, but I like it because of memories of barns with "see Rock city" signs painted on the roofs. Nat4b, Cast Your Crown is not a large bloom, but packs a lot into the space. Thanks, Jean. That's too bad. A couple of my daylilies took some damage, but I didn't lose any. I did lose so0me roses though. Maryl, The hot pink is Wall of fire, and the red to the right of it is a Munson called African Plum...it is red, but has some purplish hues in it as the light strikes it. I am enjoying Gus, since he likes to keep me company when I'm in the garden...especially when I pick blueberries for some reason. Ikad, it is another small bloom, but such a pretty one. Mantis, he is a pretty little cat. Much smaller than my indoor tabbies. I don't know how it is, but the path isn't as spacious as it once was. I am planning a change in the big front bed this fall. I plan to move the large lilies to another area and plant daylilies and hecheras there. Mantis is right, Chris. that is Wall of Fire...it is an eye-catching bloom and is little bothered by thrips. No, Juliana, Rocks Cry Out and Cast Your Crown are both toothy, but The colors are similar. CYC is about half the size bloom as RCO. RCO has a two color effect to the petals, but not the sepals, (bitone) and CYC had the same color on petals and sepals. CYc has is toothy on sepals and petals. See below for comparison. CYC is much smaller and is red with the golden toothy edge: Because of the color similarity and the toothiness, I'm sure they are "kin", but haven't looked them up. As for being at peak, I have a lot of plants already putting up instant rebloom so who knows how it will end up. I'm sending as many daylilies as he will take home with my brother this week. He is coming up from Shreveport and wants some daylilies. kay

Hi green haven, I just signed up here the other day but have been reading this site for a long time in hopes of doing my kitchen someday. I think your kitchen is totally adorable and is one of my inspiration kitchens! I love your creamy white cabinets with dark pulls, dark countertop, and especially the beadboard backsplash. I want a similar look in my soon to be redo of a kitchen. So I am looking forward to see how yours turns out. Sorry if this is too late to help, but my vote would be to keep the beadboard the same color white as cabinets. Then paint the walls in the soft green color like in the fifth inspiration picture you posted down which seems similar to the color I think May flowers linked. I also love the beadboard chair rails in white on the walls to tie it around the room with the green color above. Maybe you could add it later? I really love the beautiful mint green picture that I think romy718 posted as I saw that one before on houzz too. However, I am not loving the minty color on your backplash for some reason. But think it would be great on the walls if you love the color. Its just hard because we cannot see the true color in real life as you can. Based on the color on my ipad though I would go a warmer light green. But whatever you do just take comfort that it is just paint and nothing that is permanent at least! Happy painting! Git-r-done...
