Some DLs from PA

16 years ago

I haven't shared photos for awhile, so this is making up for lost time. These photos are all from today's blooms - some early, some mid-day. Changes are happening in the garden, but the DLs are still giving me some very pretty blooms. Sorry for the ones that are new blooms on past posted DLs but I think they deserved a second look. Also, many of my whites are still blooming.

And I just had to share Julietta's new bloom. She gave a poly yesterday, but I did not get a photo - drats!

We finally got a total of an inch of rain several days ago. It is back to hot, humid and sunny today, after a beautiful Saturday.

Thanks for looking at the last blooms of summer. Jane

Jane - I envy you having so many pretty blooms. I only have Royal Jester and Happy Returns with blooms today, and most of my daylilies have yellowing and browning leaves in this run of 100 degree temps. I'm glad you got some rain recently. We haven't had a good rain here since June 14th, so it's awfully dry.

Jane, So glad you shared the photo of Orange Vols, because I just planted that one this Spring, and am now very excited to see it bloom, hopefully as brilliant as yours! Also planted Castle Pinkney new, this year, and love your photo of that beauty! Unforgettable Fire is awesome! I'm not big on reds, but yours shows more red-orange on my monitor, and there's just enough yellow to add interest. Marvelous photos! Julie

Metaphor is really that color - a lavender. When I take its pic it sometimes shows more pink in the color, but I try to get it as true to the color in my garden. Lavender Flight is also showing it's true color. My new software has several options to choose from that seem to help show the true color I see in the garden with just a click. Thank you. Jane PS: Last year one of my very favorites was Casual Pleasure. This year I have not posted a photo because I moved it and the blooms have more of an orchid/lavender color. If I can get a decent shot of it I will show in a future post the difference from last year and this year. I still like it but I hope another year at its new home will result in the lavender color.

Jane, These are all SOOOO beautiful. I have Three Wishes also, I love it. It struggled some this year because of lack of rain for so long and 100 degrees for a week. Watch for proliferatons on that one....I get quite a few on it. Your photos and daylilies are fantastic. Thanks for sharing them. Lrae

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. The daylilies are really blooming here now. As you can see, the foliage leaves much to be desired. I tooks some photos today that I will try and post this evening. I am taking a break from working in the garden ( oh, so humid) since it started to rain, but I need to get back to the thistles - hardly any other weeds, just thistles. : ) Jane

Beautiful pictures Jane. We too got the rain, a couple of days of rain actually, and the plants (and the grass) are looking so much better.

Thanks for posting Autumn Wood. A friend just brought me some AW and I'll be adding it to my collection.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Today Party Pinafore rebloomed and it is the lightest rose (more like pink) that I have ever seen it. I will try and posts a photo soon.

I have been out trying to see the meteors. We saw three great ones on Sat.night/Sun.morning, and a lot of smaller ones. I guess they are really slowing down now.
