" I exist on Long Island , New York and have been gardening for many years . Now that I am withdraw I ’ve had a lot more fourth dimension to give to my minor backyard where the chores seem never terminate . But it is emphatically a labor of love as all of you gardeners out there cognise . I embark on out year ago thinking I would use pinks , blues and purples throughout . As you’re able to see , that ’s no longer the shell . I am a flush " junky " and ca n’t help buying whatever I care , no matter the color . There ’s just so much out there to love ! In the last couple of years I ’ve really fallen for daylilies . There are so many variety and gloss that I can never have enough . I would still like to plant more , but I ’m run out of room . desire you love my " babies " as much as I do . "
