While waiting for daylilies.....

I've been enjoying all of your daylily photos and although mine have scapes, I don't have any blooming just yet. July and August are my months of bloom. So I've kept busy enjoying the other flowers blooming in my gardens and dragging the hoses around from garden to garden to keep everything alive in our drought. I hope you will all stick around next month when I'll actually have daylilies to share!

Every year my foxgloves reseed and this is the result......
I have a lot of un-named peonies, mostly because they were passed along....

Roses are blooming but with the severe drought and heat they blow quickly. It looks like rose season will be short-lived because the japanese beetles will be here in another week.This is 'Quietness'
Asiatic lilies are blooming.....
I will post one more shot of the foxgloves mingling with the roses to close out this post.

While waiting for daylilies & grandbaby
Comments (15)THANK YOU everyone for taking the time to look at my post and comment. My darling newest grandbaby finally arrived yesterday, May 17th!! It was a very long, difficult and dramatic delivery so I have been at the hospital since Monday morning and haven't even had time to shower let alone read any posts here. We came close to losing him but he is here, healthy and adorable! I am over the moon in love. My daughter was a trooper and so brave. I will post a picture of him soon!

Comments (40)Ingrid and Sheila, I’m just reveling in the beauty of your garden photos. Both of you have a knack for growing roses to compliment the glorious scenery around you, instead of trying to compete with it. You two grow your roses to look like part of the natural/native flora around you, not an easy task. Of course, you need the right property to begin to even try. Both of you have wonderful properties, and have managed to accomplish this look to perfection. Your roses and other plants look like they belong there, instead of looking like they were so carefully planned and placed in their spots (even though I know they must be). Or even worse, placed Willy-nilly wherever they can be squeezed in. I’m guilty of the latter, but space is at a premium here. Ingrid, I had forgotten about your ‘Sweet Frances”. What a darling rose it’s growing up to be! I now remember your purchasing it from ARE. I do indeed see the bunny, “mooning” us with his cotton ball tail. ‘Eyes For You’, I have zero recollection of you adding, although I’m sure you must have mentioned it. I saw one somewhere, and found it SO very striking. It’s one that really calls to me, even though it’s not the type of bloom that I’m typically attracted to. The blooms remind me of some tree peony blooms. My fingers itch to get my hands on a bundle of ‘Eyes For You’ blooms to combine with a dark purple flower in an arrangement. It’s a unique, and beautiful rose. Sheila, what a wonderful treat! You grow so many gorgeous roses. JH #3 looks quite happy. Do you think he's matured enough to be out of danger, barring some unexpected disaster? I hope so, as Jeri has shown that he's such spectacular rose. Your ‘La France’ has grown so much, gorgeous! I’m impressed with them all, but Mutabilis, Hermosa, and Glorie de Dijon are the “standouts” for me today. I’m delighted to see so many blooms on Glorie de Dijon! If you should have the time, I’d love to see some bloom closeups of GdD someday. Goodness, this thread is delightful! Lisa...See MoreHow can I reduce water wastage while waiting for hot water?
Comments (30)Just came here to endorse the recirculating pump others have mentioned. There are very DIY-able options available at the big box hardware store, like this one https://www.homedepot.com/p/Watts-Hot-Water-Recirculating-System-with-Built-In-Timer-0955800/100426993. This is probably the easiest option. I would also buy some insulating foam for your hot water lines that run to the under-sink device since they're effectively becoming an extension of your hot water tank. Also, if you're up for something a little more involved, google "gravity recirculating loop" - a little trickier to install but no pump required! Water circulates through convection instead of a pump....See MoreOther flowers while waiting on the daylilies
Comments (8)The Japanese maple was a lucky buy. They can be so expensive. We found a tiny one that wasn't expensive at Lowe's years ago. We planted it at our previous house. It grew nicely and we were sad at the prospect of leaving it behind so we decided to transplant it. We really didn't think it would make it, but it did. It apparently loves the place it is in--sort of protected by a big pine tree. It's probably 20 years old now....See Moreceleste/NH
