Very pretty! I always love Indian giver, but Desert Icicle is very pretty itself.

Marmalade looks like he can't decide what to do next. Is that a small ornamental pond in back of Marmalade? Gosh this seems late to me for the start of bloom in a zone 8.

My favorite is Flamingo Feather. It has such lovely coloring.

Yes, that is one of four small ornamental ponds behind Marmalade.

We had the second coldest and wetting spring in 117 years since they've been keeping records....everything is behind a month or so.

Sometime, show us more of the ornamental ponds. The first picture with Marmalade is so relaxing. I can imagine the cooler temperatures that you must have in the Northwest.

Your water feature is beautiful with the water bubbling down the sides of the rocks. How in the world did you drill a hole through that size rocks or was it purchased that way?

Flamingo Feather and Desert Icicle are wonderful pics. Marmalade is so adorable.

Love the water features, do post more shots of it!! Desert Icicle is my favorite here.
Marmalade is a very pretty cat.

OOOOh, your ponds are lovely! I like Flamingo Feather, too.

Bright green grassy clump is Hemerocallis 'Penny's Worth' which is a cute little bloom machine except in this picture.

DH drilled the basalt columns with a rotohammer. Saved us a ton of money but his shoulder has never been the same.

Very pretty DL's and I love your water feature looks like Marmalade gives his seal of approval too.

Wow, now that is what I call a DIY project. Drilling those holes must have taken hours to get done but look at the results as the water feature is wonderful.

buyorsell888 - Thanks for posting your lovely blooms & sharing views of your garden settings. I especially look for your posts because we're in a similar climate where daylilies don't always perform well in our cool summers.

In our gardens in western WA we have summer perennials just starting on top of spring bloomers. For example, the Asiatic lilies are still opening up in part sun & Hellebore on the north side of the house with indirect lighting are still in bloom.

To give you an idea of how far behind we are:
1st daylily blooms were from 2 different fragrant yellow species.
Stella just started last week after we finally hit over 70 degrees.
Rose Cherub had 3 blooms last Thurs
H. fulva 'Kwanzo' on Monday
scapes are up & swelling, so know the blooms are coming...

Love all the ponds and the water features. And those tall stone columns in that one pond are just so different, I think it all looks fabulous.

Thanks for showing us another pond. True, your climate may not be the best for daylilies, but with next week's temps scheduled for humid mid-nineties, both the daylilies and I will be longing for Northwest temps.

Love your water features--especially the one with the stone columns. Desert Icicle is my favorite daylily. Love that green throat.

I like the pond, but my favorite photo is Marmalade and Tigger.

Desert Icicle is my favorite pick. Yay for blooms from Portland.. Ellie
