Some Old, Some New, and Some Blue

Just a couple of new ones today, and others that get to return, and something with blue. Avedon

Brand new, a bonus plant, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. This is Catcher In The Eye

Brand new pic this year--FFO on Sunday Gloves, How nice it opened on Sunday. It will get better as time goes by.

Rose Emily Twins. For a long time I thought this was Ming Porcelain, but now I know for sure. This is a good plant.

The daylily from J. Carpenter I named for my mother. Finally, have managed to get a good picture.

Seedling I will probably name for my sister.

I guess this is the "old" This is Hall's Pink from 1952, I think. Couldn't resist this clump shot this morning. They just looked so cheerful.

Joan Senior clump shot

Destined To See Clump Shot

Persian Market Clump Shot

The blue is in the blue salvia in this garden shot. The daylily in the background is Hyperion which is now putting up scapes.

More blue--blue salvia and in the foreground, our dwarf blueberry bush and I have already picked some. They are yummy!

I wish this were a better photo so the clearwing hummingbird moth is more visible. It just loves the blue plumbago and getting a picture is very hard, butterflies are easier.

Your daylilies are all so pretty, I love those clump shots, and the photos of your garden. I need to check my blueberries I guess. Should be too early for them, but with everything so early I need to keep an eye on them. They are out back, need to check the cherry trees too!
I got a new hummingbird feeder, saw my first hummer of the year last week.

I just love those blue salvia you have there. I see those hummingbird moths in my garden upon occasion. Funny things. Nice clumps of daylilies you have going. Rose Emily Twins are my favorite, Very pretty twins.

RITA, i sure am trying hard to do just that.Keeping the blooms coming.I took a bunch of pictures of another one today, too,and couldnt see the bloom in the camera to get a decent picture and I deleted every one of them..Sure wish it would be cloudy early morning.That would solve my problem.Today,I tried using a umbrella to shade the camera so I could see the bloom, but that didnt work so good either,as I just had such a brightglare it just made it almost impossible. BRITTIE,ELLIE,DEBRA,KAY,,CHRISTENE, AND SARAH;.Thank you so much for looking and taking the time to comment on them. Jean

Bonibrae Happy Face and My Friend Mary Jane are both too new to know how they will perform. Bonibrae Happy Face hung up the first two times it opened but the next two times it opened perfectly. My Friend Mary Jane just was planted this spring.

Thanks Randy North of Florida palms has the best deals on Princeps I have seen,that's where I got the 3 I have -one is planted. Seeing them up close might leave you a little more torn between the two. That said,I love Waggies too! Here's the One I have planted- chadec I know exactly what you mean about Aloifolia! Mine snapped(in high winds)2 years ago or it would be 6' right now at least! They root easily so,no worries there-mine is secured to a small post now...probably would have been halved anyway when the "G-house collapsed in the blizzard last winter. Here's a picture(s) of the Cactus cover - Note how tall it is in respect to the railing- and check put what it looked like collapsed under 15"+ of snow! Here is a link that might be useful: Princeps

Hall's Pink is surely a pretty one which I don't think I've seen before. And I love the salvia.

Okay, lets see what's blooming at your house. Those moths really have an unreal look to them, don't they? I have never see one in life, only in pics.

You know I l;ove clumps, so this is a super post...I think I like hypernion best, but all clumps are beautiful. Your plumbago has such a bright color to it.

The clump shots are wonderful. We too have the hummingbird moths here. They show up or at least I start to see them when the butterfly bush is in bloom near the front porch.

Sunday Gloves and your seedling are my favorite. I love white, and that mauve is so unusual looking! The moths really are hard to catch. Mine always end up looking like big blurs, so you did pretty fantastic! I love all of the extra pictures people post of their "critters" and gardens.

Beautiful shots of your DL's I think my favorites are Sunday Gloves and the seedling you want to name for your sister. You are quite the photographer being able to get the shot of the moth.
