In the “speed to come out of the ground”, besides, of course, the tulips, this year the lilies won. Yeay lilies! You go girls!!!
When I could barely see the sedum, and no hostas were visible yet, both the daylilies and the asian lilies were welcoming spring. Last spring came with the realization that we had, inexplicably, lost quite a few hostas that were very full and healthy in 2017. This May I was watching closely, and hoping we didn’t have a repeat. Thankfully we didn’t and now the hostas are gigantic. Right alongside them, the asian lilies that showed up early have been slowly, gradually getting ready for their big show. Now literally overnight the asian lilies went from green buds to color. We are right on the edge of dozens of asian lilies blooming! Wonderful time of year! And then the party will begin, with hosta blooms and daylily blooms flowering and going right through September. It’s summer in Minnesota!
