Beautiful!!!  Thanks for putting a smile on my face  ;D  I needed it after today  &-)

 I would like to have taken some pics today  >:( but didn't have the time  because of my sis n law moving.  I'm not mad because they needed us to help.  I'm mad because when we walked into the house, not a single thing was packed. She knew she was going to move for over a month.  Her girls that are 20, 17 and 16 something like that and they were just sitting around smoking and playing with a kick ball.  Hello!!!  I ended up leaving and taking my kids to feed them.  Let Dh stay.  He can do what ever he wants its his sister.  Plus, her kids have no respect for no one.  My Dh and some other guy was moving the washer and dryer, and one of the girls pitched a big fit because they move the clothes off of the dryer.  Picked up the laundry hamper and threw it. 

I looked at her, and couldn't hold my tongue any longer.  I said you know what, were doing you and your mother a favor by helping, we don't have to be here.  You could move this all by yourselves.  I think you need to apologize to your uncle, it never happened.  Thats when I left.  He's the dumb one for not saying anything to his niece.  It was hot and humid here today, you could sweat just standing in the shade.  I worked last night from 5:30 pm till 3:30 am, so I was in no mood to watch them goof around while I worked.

Sorry for venting, this post reminded me of what I missed out on today.  I did see them closing up.

Gary,
  They're beautiful. Every time I see Peaches and Cream and Colorado I wonder why I don't have either yet. I did get a promise of a piece from a Colorado next spring. Now I'll just have to watch for a Peaches and Cream. I love the peach and pink colored lilies probably more than any other colors.

Kim,
  I don't blame you. I have been in that position before so totally understand. My worst experience was when I worked full time and snarfed dinner down as fast as possible so my husband and I could help friends move, as they put it, 'nearly everything tonight'. They had taken that week off and done nothing. When we got there there were still all the clothes in the closets that she wanted to 'sort through' before they were packed. They didn't have 1 box of anything packed!!!! Makes you wonder, doesn't it??!!

Wow, how lucky are you to have all of these going?
Just Beautiful O0
Mine are still going, just never get too many at one time.
I'm going to fertilize one more time.

Kim,
Good for you!!!!!!!!!!
reminds me of helping a girlfriend move one time. She's sitting on her behind, while I'm carring boxes. I stopped!!, and told her that I was HELPING, not moving her. That was the end of that one ;)

Gary, thank you for sharing your photos  :)
Your lilies are absolutely gorgeous - I have one Laydekeri Lilacea which is about to bloom, it has sent up buds but due to cooler air temp they have not opened yet .. now I know what the flower looks like  ;)

The James Brydon in the blue pot is a beautiful set-up o(:-)

I love the James Brydon is beautiful I love those pads.  Your other lilies are absolutly beautiful too.  I would love to get a Perry's fire opal and a peaches and cream they have such beautiful colors.  Maybe I can get some next year It's probably too late to get some this year.  Is that Bob Tricket blue?  I would love to have a true blue lily.  But really I would love to have all the lilys they are just beautiful and I can never pick a favorite.

Thanks again everyone.

Kristin, I'm partial to that blue pot and I agree JB in it looks trey cool!

Lawanna, I think its the standard blue.  I use to have a grey variety, but it appears to have died off.
