i was going to start with possibilities. and there are plenty. the reality is the flower is here. it is blooming. it is tall. it is orange. and it shows signs that it will be cooperative as a parent plant. so it is both. and there is joy in dirtville.

Congrats!
Thanks Judy !
Proud papa!
While I normally don’t use that phraseology in this situation the response is graciously accepted. I prefer to think of the experience as an adult crayon coloring set. One where we get to design our own little bits of rainbows and butterfly wings. And anything else that might catch your fancy. Thanks Pam. And a happy weekend to you !
But that makes you a g . . .a go . . . a good man!
And it has ruffles 🙂
I am beginning to think ruffles are to daylilies as the sauce is to chicken wings. Just like the proper way to enjoy the daylilies is a moderately warm day whilst strolling through the garden with an adult hydration unit. Happy Saturday Dan.
