Hi, just listened to the Crepe Myrtle Podcast. Absolutely Wonderful, 'just love hearing all about the history, the breeders and the new varieties! The two of you play off each other so well. Trish, thanks for setting me free to say...."I NEED that plant" Happy Anniversary!
Every morning, most days, I check in on my favorite threads and read what folks are up to. It's a treat for me in the busy days of work and family and trying to fit in time to care for the garden. Also followed Dave here from that other site, and cubit piggy seed swap pretty much furnishes most of the seeds in my garden. Such a great stress reliever for my busy life and atmosphere is so positive!
Happy plantversary! I'm so glad to have recently found this wonderful website with such a passionate community of gardeners. Everything here makes me happy!
My parents taught me everything I know about gardening, starting when I was a little girl, and all the way up to their unexpected deaths last year. My mother passed away very suddenly; my father, who had been diagnosed with cancer the day before she died, fought hard to live "long enough to see my daylilies one last time." With the help of Paul from Slightly Different Nursery, we chose a daylily to name after Dad, and he lived long enough to see it bloom in his garden as well as in all his children's gardens, which are scattered all over the country. I found ATP when I wanted to put a photo of his daylily out into the world for people to appreciate. This year, I began using ATP to catalogue my own plants, and learn from other gardeners, since my two experts are in a different garden now. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the information, the photos, and the community. What a wonderful place.

Nancy - Beautiful named daylily in memory (or honor at the time) of your dad. I have the same aspirations to name and register some daylilies after some of my beloved relatives past and present. I think your beautiful daylily lives up to it's namesake!

How can I put into words how much I LOVE ATP ....every one has been here for me whenever I needed
a kind hand to help, a mentoring wisdom when my garden needed help and just a BIG HUG when I needed
it.
I LOVE all my family here . I try to never miss one day Thank you Dave & Trish for giving me a home where
I am loved and always feel welcome
To all my ATP family

I am a apartment dweller without a garden, yard or terrace with many attempts to garden indoors under lights. Until recently for the first time in 15 years living without my dear kitty. Observing from the side lines has taught me so much or should I say that it has been a lovely learning experience. Waiting to use my knowledge one of these days. I really enjoy oohing and aahing over everyone's plants, projects and great finds. This site has a wealth of information and knowledge that a novice like me can easily absorb and the more experienced growers can and do teach.
Wishing the best to ATP and the members who fill these pages with love.
Almost missed the opportunity to say Happy Anniversary ATP

I am not a ''computer'' person , mostly play with dirt , but I do love this special place.
Thank you Dave ,Trish and all who make this place a ''one of a kind'' lovely garden.
