After losing his beloved rescue cat, Sophie, of 12 years, my son Shawn made the decision to rescue another homeless cat. He found Luna on petfinder.com. Luna is a beautiful dilute tortie estimated to be around 5 years old.  She was found living with her 4 small kittens in a 4-inch gap between a comedy club and another business in downtown Milwaukee. Because she had to do so much fending for her kittens from stray cats, raccoons and opossums, other cats seem to put her on edge. Luna is slowly but surely becoming acclimated in her new home and becoming more affectionate as each day passes. She is one lucky girl!

PS . Two of her 4 kittens have been adopted and the other two will surely find homes soon.

new series

New Series is one of my keeper daylilies. I have grown this beautiful plant for over 30 years. The 7-8 inch flowers are spectacular during peak bloom. This award winner was hybridized in 1982 (Carpenter, K.). It is a semi evergreen diploid that grows well in Wisconsin's climate. New Series is a perfect border plant as it only grows 25 inches tall. It is mid season bloomer in the landscape. Two thumbs up!!!
