Forget-Me-Nots

Just like our ‘Patriot’ hostas, our ‘Forget-Me-Not’ plants are more than pretty.  I planted them the year my husband’s father passed.  We miss him.  That year, not long afterward, we lost a dear neighbor as well.

Every year the forget-me-nots come back.  They are a wonderful link back to our memories of my father-in-law and our neighbor.

Yesterday our dear Missy’s grandfather passed.  Our thoughts and love and prayers are with her and her family.

Missy shares my love for gardening and beautiful lilies.  We will offer a forget-me-not plant to add to her garden.

It’s a matter of perspective

Over the past couple of weeks I have really enjoyed a new perspective regarding our ‘Purple ‘d Oro daylilies – the outside of the bloom.  It is the side that shows the least during bloom, yet it is equally stunning – a gorgeous waxy butter yellow gradually giving way to the purple.

Also a matter of perspective are the two “garden stones” in the background.  Can you guess what they are?

 

 

 

Welcome to Susan’s Daily Garden

20180718_180101I decided today that I would love to begin sharing pictures from our garden, along with a short daily blog.  My goal is to provide my favorite picture each day, and then share a highlight of our time in the garden.

A few years ago I decided to simplify our garden.  “Only” daylilies, asian lilies, hosta, and sedum are added to our garden nowadays.  We have other plants, like a beautiful hibiscus and two huge shamrock plants that are old timers, and they have cherished places as well.  OK, and an occasional potted tomato plant.  Yum!

Our garden is one of our favorite places. We watch the sunrise and sunset, listen to and watch an ever growing variety of birds, watch for two white squirrels that live nearby, and enjoy the beauty of what is growing and blooming.

Right now the daylilies are absolutely delightful.  Today’s pic is one of my favorites – ‘South Seas’.

Enjoy!
