Our largest ‘Just Plum Happy’ daylily has 12 blooms today! Beautiful!
Just Plum Happy
Tag: Hostas
Hosticus Giganticus
If you are looking for a hosta to fill some space, an Aureomarginata hosta might fit the bill. Ours are now about 6 feet wide! I love them because they cover up fading tulip leaves in June and fading asian lily stems in late June and July. Hiding under the right side, however, is an Autumn Joy sedum. I think that will be moved this fall 😉
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?
Couldn’t choose so 4 pics today
I was hoping for a rainbow today. When I left work it was not raining at all. As I got close to our town the skies opened up and the windshield wipers started going. Within 10 minutes it was done. But alas, no rainbow.
Today I can’t choose between four pics. The Ivory Queen hosta started sending up scapes yesterday. The Hush Little Baby daylily opened it’s second bloom today. (That is new to our garden this year.) And our cream daylily (sorry, no name) bloomed for the first time today. It is missing a petal but we still love it ❤
We also have a hide and find picture. Check out the bird feeder and also an incredible capture of what is probably a dove in flight.
“Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? Luke 12: 27-28
Welcome to Susan’s Daily Garden
I 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!
