Had to work today, then out to dinner for my hubby's birthday. Here's a few multi bloom shots from a little bit ago. Heat gets here tomorrow - ugh! But, at least the daylilies should open good on Saturday and Sunday morning, will be warm. It was down in the 40s here last night.
Atomic Inferno - I seriously LOVE this daylily. How could you not?
And closer...
Black Falcon Ritual
Tetrina's Grand Daughter - tall and floriferous! I have had this less than two year, bought in Sept 2013.
Tao of Physics - not a multi bloom pic, but it looked so nice
Wispy Rays - awesome as a single flower, even more impressive as a clump. Sorry about the unattractive backdrop, those are some of the sprinkler mechanicals.
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Comments (28)Sorry it has taken me a while to get back and check in. I was out of town for work and just got home. Thanks so much everyone for the compliments. It makes me feel good, I must admit. I always seem to see what needs to be done, and sometimes forget to look at what it is! I will try to answer everyone's questions. Hope I don't miss any. In no particular order... The lilies in the "big" picture are almost all daylilies. The lilies in the close-up pictures I am not sure. Just some bulbs I picked up, probably at a big box store or the local garden center? Sorry I don't have their names. The rose pictured in the 4th picture is Morden Belle. There are actually 3 bushes planted in that bed. I hope that is the rose you meant? Yes, I do have the courtyard of roses and yes they are blooming. However, many of the roses on the fence were taken down this year due to RRD. I have planted bittersweet in their place. Won't be the beautiful flowers, but will provide privacy that won't get RRD. As you can see from the picture below, the fence is now pretty bare looking on the side. I have decided that I will try to keep the roses on the fence across the end and around the corner. The need for privacy there is not so great, as the Wine and Roses weigela in the island bed does screen most of the garden from that end. Again, thank you everyone! I am so glad you enjoyed the pictures. It does help to make the aches and pains feel better! :-) Marylu...See MoreA few pics from a few days ago.
Comments (3)Everything looks great! The cactus really seem to shine in late spring/early summer and once they are finished blooming you have huge tropicals that take over! The castors are going to be ridiculous by the end of this season! If you get a late frost, I would expect them to reach at LEAST 14' Thanks for sharing! -Alex...See Moreanother VOTE from me...it's a quick one-pics!
Comments (32)And how bout if I add the teeny tiny little fact that my GC ordered the handle **by mistake** without my final approval, and they are already at my house! They will exchange for egg if I can ever decide. Adrienne- how amazing is your sink...you must be psyched!!!! I got that feeling when the delivery came to my door with THE most amazing, perfect pendant for over my sink!! Now if only I can tally up these posts and decide......See MoreA few pics from this years growing season
Comments (7)Karen, here is the bed that is in the background of Radio Times Karen- This pic shows the bed that is peeking through on the Radio Times pic. Kristine- I liked CE so much that I bought 3 more of her this spring. My house is mostly blond brick and the Oranges/Apricots look good against that backdrop. She remains short and the stems are sturdy, good for cutting, but not if you are looking for long stems. Thanks Dianela, Rockridge and Patty...See More
