In answer to your question on photo Natures Math:

an equally spaced amount of seeds in a 360 degree radius which can multiply the original to infinity = natures math

I'm surprised to know that Missouri is behind the Mts of NC. thanks for the nice comments.

Hi Bonnie-Nice to meet you.  I just love these pictures. I too love to take pictures of sunrise and sunsets and cloud formations.  I bought Night Embers on the internet. I was looking at some sites last night and saw it a number of times. If you google daylily Night Embers it will show you where you can purchase it.  I have a total of over 300 daylilies but only 286 that I know the names of.  When I first started buying them, I didn't care about their name only the flower. Now I want to know their names so last summer I really started digging in the gound around the daylily to find it's tag and found many of them.  I also have around 300 other flowers.  Love flowers, shells, horses and lighthouses.  I have been collecting all of the Maine light houses or rather working at it.  Have a long ways to go yet.  There are 88 and I only have 26.  I am retired now so have to be a little more careful on spending money but I always find a way to fit in an awesome flower or the lighthouses.   I also take driftwood and put flowers and a lighthouse on it. I will have to put in some pictures sometime.  They are nice but don't seem to sell in Maine for some reason.  Nice talking to you.

Hi, Bonnie. I have been a little depressed and haven't looked at my G.S. page for too long. I used to have 34 Roses, and now I have 5. The "Bonica" in the black pot is one of the ones I kept. They are just too time prohibitive for me personally, and that is what our gardens are, isn't it, personal. I have a deep pink ground cover Rose, the color is just amazing ~ deep pink is probably my favorite color. It is not only a ground cover, it is covered with flowers all season. I have a deep red ground cover with tiny little buds and blooms for my daughter, DeAnna that died. She loved tiny flowers, & the red is what I consider "rose red" I have a "Cherry Parfait" that literally blooms itself crazy all summer, and a "Rio Samba" Hybrid Tea that looks like the sun shining. It is the most fragrant. The buds start gold, open gold, get a little red on petal edges, and turn a reddish pink color when they go over, I kid you not. I used to have 2 in the for real full Sun backyard, I moved one to the front as the flowers were getting fried in back, but it died. So the 1 still living is still out there. I am going to order another one for the front bed where I need some gold and aroma. Full Sun here in the Mountain West is different than lower elevations. Boy, veg. and herbs do well here because of the hot, dry conditions. I am replacing the now empty pillar where I had a mini~climber Rose with a Honeysuckle this year. I actually better order that today so I get the one I want. That will bring color back to the spot again! When we built the "bones" of the garden, I placed the pillar so that when entering the yard under the arbor it is in your sight line. Each side of the arbor also had 2 climbing roses, now culled. I am missing the blooms, but not the upkeep. Aphids like the hot dry weather, too. I have gotten to where I consider every planting for its benefits  for birds and other wildlife. That has added more beauty and sound than 1000 roses could, and it has helped me live life without my youngest Daughter, DeAnna. My vegetables benefit greatly from the balance of nature, & when compared to the few other gardens around here, my flowers are much more prolific.  I envy you your mature trees out your back door, Bonnie. Take care, Marian
