I hope so :)<br />I particularly love the spider daylilies, but they're all wonderful.<br />The nicotiana container is spectacular! Love those tubular blooms!

Fabulous!<br />Oh my, the color and form of that heliotrope is so beautiful. And I <i>want</i> that salvia!<br />Who doesn't love zinnias?<br />Happy bloom day, Gail. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

The whole combination you put together is so unusual looking, I love it! That's quite a day lily collection...they are all exquisite.<br />I've missed out on posting for Carol's, May Dreams Gardens, GBBD lately.

You cracked me up repeatedly - what a fun post! <br /><br />I was thinking mini-angel's trumpet when I saw your photo of the nicotiana, wonderful fragrance and all. And your reference to four-o-clocks - those are such nostalgic plants, and the first seeds I got to plant as a tot.<br /><br />Speaking of nostalgia, listening to Freddie Cannon brought back so many memories, and replaced an earlier song-I-can't-get-out-of-my-head from another post I read earlier this morning, that replaced one I couldn't get out of my head during Spring Fling! ;)<br /><br />Hope you're having a wonderful day.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-66198381545337185402009-06-16T11:20:23.479-05:002009-06-16T11:20:23.479-05:00Gail, you kill me with your song references!

And no need for me to visit the Freddie Cannon site; I remember that song and rushing home from school to watch it all too clearly! :-) Man, your daylilies are really something. Especially that orange one. Love your potted arrangement. I can tell from your photos that it's stunning. I keep meaning to send you an email regarding clicking on photos - we never did get a chance to talk about that at CSF.

I will have to look for those nonlabel daylilies. Haven't seen them in the garden center yet. We grew that same beautiful Black and Blue Salvia last year, but it's just an annual with us. So many Salvias to try! Silly me, I didn't even realize there were other Heliotropes. Once again I learned a lot by visiting your garden. Now I need to get out and weed my garden if I ever aspire to add more plants to it. :)MacGardenshttp://www.macgardens.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-49720179234872297472009-06-16T07:58:26.058-05:002009-06-16T07:58:26.058-05:00Bloom Day is beautiful in your corner of the unive...Bloom Day is beautiful in your corner of the universe.

You seriously need to come help me with mine. They are sluggish and dismal as all get out this year. Anyway, your garden is gorgeous for June Bloom day. I have nicotiana sylvestris seedlings popping up everywhere but no where near close to blooming like your "only the lonely." Do people slow down to admire your sunny border when they drive by C&L?? I sure would. I started verbena bonariensis after seeing yours and Racquels last year. I'm happy to say the seeds have germinated so I'm on my way. Anything that butterflies like is definitely a friend of mine. Happy Bloom day ~ you sure have plenty of beauties for us all to admire.<br /><br />PS I placed my bulb order already too. I hope you add the schubertii's ~ I don't think you'd be disappointed. and thanks for asking about my camera. It seems to be working fine so I think the hair dryer saved it??? I did manage to clean the sensor myself (which I was proud of) but it was actually very easy and I think that improved the quality of the images as well. You are always such a thoughtful commentor ~ it's so appreciated.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-52887483300809757082009-06-15T22:14:32.200-05:002009-06-15T22:14:32.200-05:00Wow, Gail, I had no idea you were such a Daylily f...Wow, Gail, I had no idea you were such a Daylily fancier!
