the evening garden

Last evening, DH and I spent some time in garden, just as the sun was setting. Here are a few pictures.

    Hi Rhonda!
    Oh my! Your gardens are beautiful! Love all the color and the lay outs too! Where are you located? We like a lot of the same flowers!
    thank you for your nice note and the great feedback. I’ll remember to include shots of the entire garden going forward! I think it helps too!
    Happy Gardening!

    Hi Rhonda,

    Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments. I looked up the red daylilies you suggested and they are nice. I like mostly big, bigger the better. Mary Ethel ANderson was so cute though. Do you use Tinker’s Gardens Database?

    Your flower beds look so tight and compacted and full. Very pretty.

    Debbie, we are in s. IL, zone 6b.

    Pat, yes, I am so grateful for Tinkers. It has helped me so much!

    Also the AHS (American Hemerocallis Society) database is hugely helpful.

    http://www.daylilies.org/DaylilyDB/

    Neither databases list ALL daylilies, though, so just because a daylily isn’t listed, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist! 🙂

    There are daylilies I have not found in either database, but did find by googling the name.

    Thanks for visiting my blog and for leaving comments! ~~Rhonda

    Rhonda, Your daylilies and daisies look stunning! I like your photo with the coneflowers at dusk as well.

    So, so gorgeous! Your borders look stunning. I love the huge drifts of colour and the colour combinations are terrific. Great photos. I scrolled up and down several times taking it in.

    Wow. What beautiful flowers. I live in your planting zone, too, but I can’t grow daisies for nothing. Your gardens are so pretty.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your gorgeous flowers (and your gorgeous children). And I especially love that your blog features a year round reminder of how long it is until Christmas. A girl after my own heart!
