Garden shots and more blooms
Just terrific days walking around the gardens as peak approaches. Weather was perfect today with low humidity-consequently, I may not be able to move tomorrow since the entire day was spent ”working” in the garden.
Not an area I usually show as these are mostly noids but has really been showy
Get Jiggy and Call Me Irresistible in front, Butterfly Moon in back, July Gold in very back and other supporting characters
Bright in the Night in front, purple Labyrinth in back, Golden Child back center, lone bloom on EITV in back center and, Kay, there is my tall yellow noid left back. Can’t miss it!
Another clump of Get Jiggy in back, white to the right of it is Joan Senior
Round bed in front of house. San Ignacio, Omomuki, Christmas Snow, Stardust Dragon are in this bed
Other side of round bed. Tall Stardust Dragon with Mountain Orchid to right and Carnival in Mexico

Rachelle Agin-showing the delicate edge

And had to show this again. Fear Not on the blasted scape. These are resting on the ground but I think every bud will bloom if I leave it!
Sorry to throw so many on here but Houzz has not been nice to me lately so striking while I can!

An actual daylily bloom ( and other garden shots)
Comments (14)We had strong storms last night and are supposed to get more tonight. The peonies do not last long in such weather, although most of them are in "cages" for support. Here are a few just opening today ( along w/ some other blooms.) This is Peony Nick Shaylor, a full double form.( very fragrant) Here is a peony named for a daylily hybridizer. This is 'Shirley Wild.' ( This was Gene S. Wild, who went by Shirley. He won the SSM for WINNING WAYS.) Last night's rain must have caused this to open one sided. These are huge 7" blooms when they open normally. Here is another favorite peony - 'Raspberry Sundae.' It grows taller than the other peonies here. It was hybridized ( I think - w/o looking it up) by Roy Klehm, who also hybridized daylilies. Single bloom shot: A better shot of the Clematis, The President. And another old favorite clematis, 'Henryi.' Very vigorous grower! I don't plant many annuals, preferring to concentrate on perennials. But there are hanging baskets all around the deck as well as some planters around the garden. And a couple roses. This one is a strange color, almost impossible to photograph. It is sort of a magenta fuchsia - 'Spellbinder.' Last one for now, a good old HT, 'Garden Party.' Scapes are appearing by the dozens. More daylily blooms soon!...See MoreTodays blooms and some other garden shots

Comments (13)Marg - Yes primroses do like part shade the best. They fry if they get too much sun. Mine come back every year after the winter is over. The leaves are visible and stay green throughout the winter season and when spring comes the leaves green up and a new growth of leaves come up through the middle. Most of mine only flower in spring but I do have a few that re-flower in Fall (my blue-purple one always does). They would be a perfect companion for hostas, in fact I actually have a few hostas in with 5 or 6 primroses in my back shade garden and they do very well there. I only know the name of one of the primroses in my pictures. The double pink one is called "Sue Jervis". I only know that as the people that lived here before left the tag. That white one you like and the red one are huge in size and look like they were part of the original plantings when the garden was first put in. I wish I knew the names of them so I could tell you but I'm pretty sure the red one is common. It's just a red single with a yellow centre and a white edging around the petals. I've seen a lot like this at many garden centres, even Walmart had them last summer. The white one is a double and I've never seen another one like it anywhere but I don't think it would be hard to get. I'd just ask for a double white primrose and this is the one you'll probably get. If you do decide to try them, I don't think you'll be disappointed! Jason...See MoreMore Garden Daylily Shots
Comments (6)Not much grass left around here. There is lawn on the north side of my house between the driveway and my house. Of course, now theres less of it because I had my new 7 foot square raised iris bed build along in there. Otherwise all over the rest of the yard there are these grassy path areas. Those are what was left over of my used to be lawn after the garden beds just kept expanding and expanding....See More

4 years agoLaura, thanks. I meant to put Git R Done on there. It had three huge blooms on it. Thanks for that one. It has done well!
Debra, Royal Banner has been gorgeous. New last year and I don‘t remember that it even bloomed. Heartbeat is in partial shade so it tends to open well and actually holds color well during the heat. Winter Romance is huge and has great substance.
Sherry, those strong bicolor lilies do draw your attention don’t they?
Celeste, GG has been spectacular. That is an untouched shot from my phone. I will attach another shot that is untouched but using the portrait mode on the phone that brings only the subject into focus.
