Let's see those sensational "S" daylilies
I am dedicating my S to the oh so common Stella d'oro. I am guessing this plant is what got some of us started with this wonderful habit. Sadly, or not, my picture is a few years old and most of the stellas have been replaced with fancier daylilies. Just thought they needed a little recognition!

Comments (47)Skibby, know I haven't planted goatsbeard in that garden, but not sure what it (between the two areas of phlox 'Laura') is. Extreme right: is something like a dracaena in one of my customer's planters on a stone column behind. Last visit, cut the Kashmiri tree mallow back (pink flower above the liatris) to expose the phlox behind. Thinking it's too early for that height from other tall perennials planted in that location. You've got me wondering. Going to check on visit tomorrow. Thanks re combination. I plant and tend to it all, but there's always an element of chance that hopefully is corrected (e.g. pulling out wild running goldenrod and asters, inside the beds, before they've really got going). Kali_c, am very fond of that size of dahlia in areas too small for a perennial bed. Your's currently look much better than mine. For the first time in ten or so years of using medium-sized dahlias, I'm trying to deal with mildew on the leaves....See MoreLet’s see your best daylily photography!
Comments (28)These photos are beautiful! But, Sherry, selecting three photos out of the hundreds I have taken this season this so long season is a very hard task. I will be including one extra in comments because Houzz will not take my camera shots except a single one in comments I include it because it is the desktop shot on my PC and it puts me in a happy mood every time I see it.

Comments (29)RaeAnna, I will for sure! That arbor has been in the works for so long that if I actually ever get it completed you’d better believe I will be insufferably showing it off. Lilyfinch, thank you! Earth Angel wants to be much bigger than that spot allows, but she’s worth wrangling for those blooms and repeats really well for me there, which keeps that area interesting when Eden is resting. You should definitely get another! I have two, one on either side of that arbor entrance and it’s all of my littles’ favorite rose. They are always wanting to run out there and smell it. There’s so much info out there on the internet nowadays that I feel pretty confident attempting to build most anything. I did the entire fence by myself and even learned how to do concrete and stone mosaics online so I could lay the path. But there’s something about this arbor that’s really intimidating me. I want it to be an arch that mirrors the architecture of the front of the house, and I can’t settle on what method I’m going to use. I tend to obsessively plan to a fault and that’s part of the problem. I need to just bite the bullet and get started and whatever happens, happens! I’d love to see your birdhouse! There’s nothing like the pride you feel when you’ve done it yourself. Vapor, thank you so much! Please copy the combo, I’d love to see what you do with it! And thank you for the compliments, the house exterior and garden has been in the works for a long time, so comments like “utter charm” just thrill me to the bone in a way I can’t adequately articulate. It’s been so much work over years and so frustrating at points, and of course I doubt my choices sometimes like we all do and worry it’s all “too weird” for a front yard in a land of lawns, so positive feedback means a lot to me....See MoreLet’s see some Blues

9 years agoSea of Cinders is one of my husband's favorites. We still don't know if it is hardy in our garden. We lost the first one we tried outside, but it was planted in the fall. We bought another and it had 3 proliferations so we grew those and planted them outside. Hope they make it.

9 years agoNice flowers everyone! Devil's Eye is striking! I have Susan Weber, but it won't bloom much here [if it even blooms]. Have tried it in 3 different spots.
Here's my first 3.

9 years agoThe last 4 s's I will post are all yellow. Seeing that I don't have much yellow [by choice] this is amazing.
Siloam Amazing Grace and Spider Miracle are 2 yellows that I really like. I keep Sears Tower because it is about 6 feet high.
