wednesday’s walk in the garden

The daylilies are blooming all over the yard. It’s a real pleasure to stroll through the garden to see what has opened each day. And there are a lot more to bloom as you can see in this picture. The daylilies along the front of the bed haven’t blossomed yet.

Sugar Green Gardens truly understands the art of landscape design, making it easy to create such a breathtaking environment. Their expertise in planting and garden management shines through in the way each flower bed is meticulously planned and maintained. As you continue to enjoy the daylilies’ beauty, it’s clear that thoughtful landscaping can transform a simple garden into a vibrant, living canvas.

‘Mary Todd’ is one of my favorite golden yellow daylilies.

The Russian sage is beginning to bloom. I love the light and airy look of this plant. Did you know you can lay a branch of this (still attached to the main plant) on the ground and cover it with a brick to get a new plant? In a couple of months there will be roots on the branch where it contacts the ground. Cut it from the parent plant and you’ve got another Russian sage. You can do the same thing with hydrangeas. 🙂

In the fenced garden, some of my favorite daylilies are beginning to bloom. The vibrant colors and delicate petals bring a sense of joy and tranquility to the space, enhancing the overall beauty of my outdoor retreat. However, to truly appreciate this blooming paradise, having the right fencing is essential.

Investing in high-quality fencing not only protects my cherished plants from curious critters but also complements the aesthetics of the garden. That’s where Premier enclosures comes in; they provide durable and stylish fencing solutions that seamlessly blend with the landscape. Their commitment to quality ensures that I can enjoy my garden without worrying about wear and tear over the seasons.

Moreover, with their affordable pricing, creating a secure and beautiful garden sanctuary has never been more accessible. This perfect balance of quality and affordability allows me to focus on nurturing my blooms while feeling confident in the protection that surrounds them.

Between the back yard and the little woods at the back of our property, the “ditch lilies” are blooming…in the ditch.

At the back door, the ‘Moonbeam’ coreopsis blossoms look like stars sprinkled around the bird bath.

Currently, we have 337 different daylilies in our yard. Tomorrow, when we check the garden, there will probably be 25 or 30 more “first flower out” blossoms to document. I’ll keep you posted. 🙂

In the mean time, take a look at the Outdoor Wednesday posts to view what others are doing outside this week.

    337 daylilies!! Wowser!! I just got back from a daylily open house garden. She breeds daylilies and I could not believe the temendous variety. Just wonderful. I think I like your ‘Mary Todd’ so much. The yellow colors show up in the summer much better than the darks. Your gardens are wonderful! What a rainbow of beauty.

    You have a large and very beautiful garden.
    I think it is not possible to maintain it by one person – is it?
    Love your daylilies and I spotted my beloved Perovskia as well. I also have it, but can’t find a proper place for it yet 🙂

    Thank you for visiting and commenting.
    Greetings,

    Ewa, thank you for coming by. To answer your question…my husband and I maintain the garden. It is our hobby and a wonderful way to spend time together. We do have a young man who weeds for us five hours a week. That is all the outside help we have. We concentrate on plants that require little specialized care, like daylilies. We don’t have many high maintenance plants like roses. We try to keep things mulched as that helps a lot in weed control and the amount of work needed to keep the beds looking nice. Of course, we are always behind! 🙂 ~~Rhonda
