RE: wrong bloom time?

Yep Marilyn~!  My thoughts exactly~!  To me, annuals are the aspirin for
perennial bed aches and pains... <grin>  I bet a flat of annuals would
soften the blow Jeanne's bed is dealing her right now!

I have all yellow and white goodies in my front yard, and dug up a
wonderful, huge bunch of day lillies from a house the city condemmed.
The lillies were LOADED with blooms.  I couldn't wait for them to open~!
(to both enjoy, and find out what color they were...)  

When they did open, they were OOOOOOORRRAAANNNGE with deep maroon/ruby
throats. <sigh> (I like orange... I just didn't want it THERE.  My front
yard was lovely, and then there was that ORANGE. <sigh>  I toned it down
with some darker yellow, and yellow leaning to orange, as well as
lighter yellow dwarf dahlias in front, mixed with a lot of white
dianthus and alyssum in the rocks.  Everybody there is happy, the orange
is not so stark as it once was.

Thank God for those 4" pots @ .88 sales. <grin>
