Currently, we have 375 daylilies in our database. As of yesterday, 99 of the cultivars have bloomed. Only 276 to go! Keeping up with FFOs (first flower out) right now is keeping us busy. Here are a few pictures from the garden this morning. This picture from the front of the house does not show […]
…as my last post…here are more daylilies blossoms. ‘Orphan’s Picnic’ is a gorgeous pink double. With a large blossom, ‘Jolly White Giant’ is a real standout! It’s easy to see how ‘Pittsburgh Golden Triangle’ got its name…at least the “golden triangle” part! 🙂 ‘Bridal Moment’ is a soft peachy pink. ‘Serena Dance’ is anything but […]
The past week, the daylilies have been opening one after another. Every day, DH and I tour the garden to see what has opened. We are in the early to mid season now. We have more than 365 different cultivars, so there will be a lot more to bloom as June and July roll by. […]
Last summer, our hydrangeas did poorly, but this year, they are loaded. Tricia, they remind me of your wedding. 🙂 Happy anniversary, soon! Hydrangeas along the north wall of the addition. Next to the front porch… This is the first year this particular shrub has bloomed well for us. I don’t know the cultivar name. […]

The irises are done, except for the last few stragglers. And the daylilies are not in full swing yet, though the first few have been showing themselves now and then. It’s that in between time in the garden, the lull between spring and summer. The coreopsis is providing the main color in the garden for […]
This week, the garden is showing off its irises and peonies. Lots of color and the wafting of heavenly scents! Peony ‘Kansas’ Peony ‘Mons. Jules Elie’ Peony ‘Dancing Butterfly’ A beautiful time of year in the garden. Â You can see more garden blooms at Flower Friday. ~~Rhonda
The yard is bursting with beautiful colors. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. I love spring! 🙂 ~~Rhonda
Late Monday afternoon, we had a brief heavy downpour. There was some thunder, a little lightning, but not much. We did get some hail, though. DD watched the storm from the bay window. The storm left a sprinkling of hail on the front porch. Do you see Zak hiding by the wall? He had been […]
