I saw Lumpia World at the Thursday Tacoma Farmer's Market (Tacoma Broadway Farmers Market, S. 9th St. & Broadway Tacoma, WA, 98402) and Lumpia World is supposed to be there through the fall. You can check out Lumpia World's Facebook page, because they post their daily locations. They are from Seattle, so you may catch them there. Have a great time and best wishes with your signing!Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-76773033270518802412013-08-26T20:40:18.484-04:002013-08-26T20:40:18.484-04:00Hi Shari.

Where is that food truck in Tacoma?

You know how vacations go, so much to do, not enough time. And then add the red eye at the end. Ouch.

Daylilies are my loves too, but I really fell hard for dahlias when I was in the Pacific Northwest. Plus, I think you can grow anything there - everything is so lushly beautiful. Great climate. Then I come home to temps in the 90s and thundestorms....<br />I had no idea daylillies are named too! I will have to check that out.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-72120225392182565972013-08-26T11:06:42.897-04:002013-08-26T11:06:42.897-04:00Hi Jim,

Seems that a lot of the hybrids don't have the scent of the older types.<br />Hi Kara,<br />The rose breeders name the roses, from what I can find out via the Internet (I may research some if it is not busy at work tonight). It's fun to see all the names of various roses. The All American Roses site has a list of winners and their names - some are very creative and it's fun to see who's gotten roses named for them: I saw Julia Child and Princess Diana, Victor Borge and Barbra Streisand.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-26965986640281023912013-08-26T10:23:35.784-04:002013-08-26T10:23:35.784-04:00Shari, how lovely.

My siblings visit gardens on every vacation we go on, and my youngest daughter makes sure at least one garden is included on every visit I make to California. I have many, many roses in my garden and sometimes I buy them for the name like Brother Cadfael, because I love those mysteries. Another one I bought for the name was Just Joey, because that's the name of my son. I also have Hot Cocoa and Be Bop as well as Ballerina, and yes, I, too, love reading the names in rose gardens. Shari, I enjoyed my 2nd visit to the Seattle/Tacoma area this month through your blog. Nice pictures.<br /><br /> Jim, Mr. Lincoln is wonderfully scented, not true with all roses.<br /><br /> Kara, I've had Double Delight, but both times it didn't last long here in NE Ohio. It may not do well in zone 5, but it is a beautiful rose.<br />Roses are patented so each breeder needs to come up with a name never before used. If you think there are a lot of rose names, you should read a daylily catalog some time. Sometimes I can't resist buying a daylily simply because of the name. All daylilies are gorgeous anyway and thrive almost anywhere they're planted as long as they get at least some sun.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-37214260104379894842013-08-26T08:38:02.607-04:002013-08-26T08:38:02.607-04:00Beautiful photos, Shari.

I’ve often wondered who is in charge of naming things like flowers, designer colors, and nail polish. <br /><br />I love roses! My favorite is the Double Delight. It is a hybrid tea rose with white flowers edged in red and smells like lemons.<br />Kara Cerisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484336785514235707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-11102894091208727812013-08-26T07:47:49.336-04:002013-08-26T07:47:49.336-04:00It's been years since I had roses in my garden...It's been years since I had roses in my gardens. One of my favorites was an old creation: Mr. Lincoln, a hybrid tea.
