glorious magnolia bloom...
The rain continues here. I think I would be cheering it on (more) if I had had things in hand. Now, the weeds are threatening to over take everything and it has become perilous to try to see the seedlings and other daylily blooms in the backyard.
Here's where I skidded to a stop, sliding in the mud...
I have about a two inch layer on my muck boots...
Nonetheless, there are moments of such beauty...
This is Beloved...a new rose (as I tortured the last one) this year....love the color, even if it does lack fragrance...I have to dig out another rose near this one as the rootstock is blooming (only)...interesting, on a rose that was bought as an own root rose (not)...it does provide the opportunity to consider a new rose, but I will either plant it (the new rose) this fall or next spring.
I have finally, I think, learned my lesson(s) about planting in the heat of summer, especially with water restrictions, as we have had in the past. A recipe for disaster and frustration and who needs that?
I know this...and still...the one tomato plant I got into the ground by the end of May is doing terrific...getting tall with tomatoes and blooms for more...while all the others, look pathetic and are probably not even worth putting out...my intentions were good, but I just ran out of May.
This morning, one of my very favorite daylilies, VELVET RIBBONS, was putting on such a show...it has such personality. Here it is looking like it would like to leap out of the garden bed...
Look how it laughs at the weather...
I could take pictures of this one all day...
The early daylily blooms are getting going...here's some of what I saw this morning...
This was bought as SILOAM SUNDAY MUSIC, but I am not sure that it is...
The description says pink and this isn't pink...I should contact the seller, but I was not happy with this seller (with another daylily)...so, I will ponder what I want to do...
A new daylily here, BECKYWECK, with its ffo...
A short daylily, that I need to remember to move to the front of the bed...sporting poly blooms...
SCHNICKEL FRITZ...
Here's INKY FINGERS...
CHARMING CHARLIE...with a bit of weather damage, still looking pretty good on its ffo...
One I really wanted and finally got....SMILE AGAIN...blooming in the driveway pot ghetto...
DAINTY IS THE WORD...
FOX HUNTER...
An oldie but goodie, BARBARA MITCHELL, recurving except for one sepal...
SILOAM EXTRA SPECIAL with a bit of weather damage as well...
Something found MOON OVER MONTEREY a bit tasty...
A mini, showing its doubling, TROPICAL DELIGHT...
APPLIQUE continues to make me smile...big robust blooms...looks like its dancing...
A better look at SIMPLY GLORIOUS, moving more toward pink, which I like better...
As you probably know, I do like the spideries....here's MOVING ALL OVER which I have planted next to WAITING IN THE WINGS...something I should change, to give them both a better chance to shine...
So you can compare....WAITING IN THE WINGS...
That's all for now....it's actually sunny outside....I could probably pull some weeds...maybe...
Well, I just saw a lily that I really want! SILOAM EXTRA SPECIAL is perfect! Frilly and classic.
ReplyDeleteThe daylilies are beautiful! I checked Tinkers database for 'Siloam Sunday Music' and their first picture looks like yours. It's a beautiful daylily regardless of the name. :) I use Tinkers a lot to check daylily info.

Hmmm...'Beckyweck,' 'Fox Hunter,' and 'Velvet Ribbons'...I need to find those! Lovely!
Thanks for sharing your pics.

You always provide tempting daylilies. I love the Spiders... but that little Tropical Delight is very cute!! :-) PS We've had a lot of rain, too. With our clay soil, I tend to end up about 2" taller every day I'm outdoors! ;-)
