We have several different kinds of tall grasses in the garden. This one, called ‘Morning Light’ is beautiful in a breeze. A bit hard to see the variegation of the grass in this picture, but the tall grass in the background is zebra grass. This is a favorite when we have plant sales. The tall […]
We took a walk / ride through the garden this morning. It looks beautiful. Orange is my least favorite color, but there are some totally beautiful orange daylilies. Like ‘South Seas.’ The girls walked through a lot of the east front yard, but decided they had gone far enough on their own steam. So they […]
Last Thursday, we had a beautiful day. Started around 70 degrees and didn’t rise above 82. I went out in the morning to get some garden pictures. Had a great time, enjoying the weather and the garden. Hosta ‘Squash Casserole’ under the Japanese maple. This hosta, ‘Ventricosa,’ came from my paternal grandmother’s garden. Family members, […]
Our older son, his wife, and their family arrived at midnight Friday for a week’s visit. We are so happy to have them home! The parents and Sissy went to bed and the twins stayed up with Pa and Ma. They were too excited to go straight to bed! So they washed dishes for grandma. […]
This morning, we enjoyed sharing the garden with a group of Master Gardeners. It’s always a joy to have other gardeners visit. They appreciate the garden, the plants, and the effort. Many thanks go out to my sister Margaret and her husband John, who came Monday evening and worked through Tuesday and early Wednesday to […]
DH is not only a wonderful husband, but a great father, as well. Our children know they can *always* depend on him, no matter what. And he’s a great “Pa,” too. This time of year, if he has any free time (not so much lately!), you’ll find DH on his bike or in the garden. […]
There are more daylilies than I can feel OK about posting. Don’t want to bore you! But aren’t these beautiful? ‘Chicago Flapper’ ‘Gentle Shepherd’ ‘Refiner’s Fire’ ‘Daring Deception’ ‘Neal Berrey’ ‘Spider Man’ ‘Wild Mustang’ ‘Atlanta Full House’ ‘Amy Michelle’ Enough, already? Or enough of a tease to make you want more? 🙂 If you’re local, […]
I have taken a lot of daylily pictures the past few days and would like to share a few with you. DH and I check out the FFOs (First Flower Out) every day. Sometimes the FFO is not the best looking blossom, so I don’t post every one on its debut, but we’ll be getting […]
