True this!
Day lily “Marquee Moon”, is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It’s creamy white elegance is most welcome among all the flashy tones.
Veggies harvested in my garden today.
Not much, but it’s a start!
This Hemerocallis , “Celtic Merchant” Is one of my top favorites in the garden.
It is very fragile and multiples slowly. The showy flowers are easily damaged by the constant rain we have been having, but occasionally a perfect flower appears.
This lily tastes as good as it looks!
Just ask that ant with the huge appetite!
Another site I am on has a theme “RoseWednesday”. This is my offering for today.
Rose, “Zephirine Drouhin” fondly dubbed “Lady Z” is blooming her little heart out this year.
She is completely thornless and has the fragrance of wild roses, perfuming the air in the garden.
Oriental lilies are bursting into bloom and giving the garden an extra special glow!
I have several new ones this year, all in pots to keep the critters from digging and eating the bulbs.
Needing new garden inspiration, I came up with the idea of creating a friendship garden…a dedicated space, filled with plants and ornamental objects that remind me of friends, both past and present!
While standing in my room, looking out onto the back yard, I spotted the perfect location!
A spot in my back yard that once held a nice pond complete with frogs and a sitting area.
Years of neglect had let the pond become filled in, and the bench in sad need of repair.
A couple of hours of intense digging and strimming, and it is well on it’s way to becoming beautiful again in a whole new meaningful way!
These two irises give new meaning to the popular phrase! Tiny “Aggressively Forward” is dwarfed by new “Wine Festival”.
Finally, after a rough start, the new iris has successfully bloomed and been identified! “Wine festival”
