Hi Jean, I was wondering if you could check out my blog, I have a couple of phots of plants I am trying to figure out what they are and I think one of mine looks like a plant in your photo above regarding dayLillies. Thanks so much if you could let me know what you think.

Hi Jean, oh Lady in Red is such a hummingbird magnet. It self sows here in the gravel but I can't get it to germinate in the beds. I think it goes great with everything. It will be blooming long after the daylilies are finished. And those daylilies are just yummy! I fear the Liliums will bloom will I am in Chicago, in fact I know they will. Hope they hang on until I get back. There is never a good time to leave the garden! :-)

Gail - about the mosquitoes, hmm. They can be really bad here and currently are. This past weekend I tried a new organic product that is a mix of different plant oils. Well guess what? It didn't work worth beans! I have bites all over me. So I will just have to go back to a product containing DEET. I probably should anyway since West Nile Virus is prevalent here and I really shouldn't take the chance. Have you ever tried those things that make some kind of humming noise that sounds like dragonflies to mosquitoes? I haven't but have often wondered how well they work.

Hi! The garden looks delightful...I love daylilies and mine are opening just in time for me to be in Chicago! Isn't that the way it always is! Coral Nymph is a wonderful salvia...one mild winter it seeded itself in a container. This year I am using it with a giant nicotiana and trailing sweet potato vines. Love your rock wall and the corner garden! What do you use for mosquito protection...they are terrible here? gail
