They're Standing in Line to Get In.

It's been a very hot few days, here at Serendipity Garden. They're standing in line to get into the ballroom. No one seems to be wilting in the heat yet. I wasn't sure how many arrivals we would have. But true to daylily form, they seem to thrive in the heat. Humidity doesn't stop this crowd from partying!
There are so many new guests that I really must get a start on the introductions and interviews as soon as possible. Let's begin.


Quinn Buck is a favorite. He represents strength and leadership. His coat is the finest I have seen and he branches very nicely.


Raspberry Ice has finally made her appearance. After having her identity stolen by Lavender Dew, she was a little afraid to come forward.


Siloam Merle Kent is an odd duck. No one really knows where and how he got his name but there seem to be a lot of relatives around from the Siloam side of his family!


Chicago Picotee Queen isn't really a queen, being from Chicago and all, but she fancies herself one. We treat the old dear with all the respect she deserves.


Spiderman showed up today to make sure all goes well. No one will threaten this group of aristocrats while he is around.


Black Eye seems to have gotten into an altercation with Svengali. Maybe I should get him an icebag for that eye before it darkens any more.


Svengali was just trying to impress the guests who were in line with his talent for hypnotism. Black Eye took it all wrong when he was used as the subject. It looks like Svengali got a bit of a shiner, too, in the brawl.



Creepy Crawler always comes dressed in an outfit edged in fringes. No wonder why he was given an insect nickname!


Egyptian Ibis's mother named her after a beautiful bird. Her lines are simple and birdlike, and for her size she holds herself very gracefully.


Some guests are more petite than others. Lavender Doll is just that. I wonder how she managed to climb down from the carriage. Perhaps she had a little help from her friends.


It looks like Most Unusual is the last to step down. That's Most Unusual for him. He likes to be at the front of the line.

Now, it's starting to cloud over; perhaps more rain is coming. Oh well, regardless, this is one party that will go on for quite a while.

I also need to tell you about my recent visit to a neighboring garden party. On Friday I will be bringing home some very special additions to our ball! Stay tuned for more from the Serendipity Garden Cotillion.
