Lovely collages Patti! Your stone paths add so much to the setting. Is that sedum Autum Joy in the fall photo? The color is so pretty this time of the year. I love the idea of taking more photos from the same spot too.

noknok, I was fortunate to not only find a house across the street from a nice park, but one that is also only 2 blocks from the hospital where I work. I just walk through the park and I'm there in 3 minutes. Lincoln has a lot of nice parks and lovely old trees. Right now the area of the park across the street from me is mostly a dog walking area, but there are plans to build a gazebo and do other improvements in it over the next few years. Most of my daylilies come from the Lily Auction or eBay online and also many are ones I have traded with member of Dave's Garden. The daylily forum really opened my eyes to all the wonderful daylily cultivers available. Your rose arbor and the 200' view are breathtaking. Looks like the perfect place for a Bread and Breakfast Inn. I would be thrilled to be your first guest!

I tried a new cosmos from Thompson's and Morgans this year called Polidor. It is sometwhat like the Bright Lights only taller at 3-4'. Has been very long blooming. I have been really working at keeping it deadheaded, otherwise I think it might has burned itself out by now. I have seeds if anyone wants them. It is a double in orange and golds. The Sonata cosmos do really well for me too. I often buy them blooming in the spring and they continue until the first hard frost.
