Now I love that color. But purples are a favorite of mine anyway...obvious from my iris garden, I know. Renee, those foxgloves and iris and roses together are dynamite! I love oranges too, by the way. What a beautiful panoply of photos! Thank you for sharing them with us. kay

Thanks Will, will not only follow but link to from ours. There are 10 million gardening blogs and most of them seem to talk about eating muffins or the like. This writer is one after our own heart. Thanks for the head's up. Sara Here is a link that might be useful: Form and Foliage This post was edited by formandfoliage on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 20:56

Beautiful as always, Renee. I know that hemerocallis hybridizers have been busy trying to get a true red daylily--red as in Sanny Claus red, not rust or claret. And they're pretty much there. Anyone working on that in the iris family? My guess is that it might be more difficult for irises, but from a botanical standpoint I couldn't tell you why exactly. Kay

I laughed reading about making a cake from scratch. A girl I once worked with said she make a pizza from scratch. She bought a crust, bottled sauce, cheese and pepperoni, put together and baked. I told her when I made a pizza from scratch I made the sauce and pizza dough. Oh well, at least she made dinner. I miss her, she died from cancer last March.
