Full Days – Pics with a Tiny Bit of Narration

Another “Bouquet” with a few of my seedlings – that I hope will bloom this year (in front) and some Forget-me-Nots in between

We are growing one “edible” this year – “Basket of Fire” hot peppers. Mainly, they are ornamental 😉

These “Snow in Summer” blooms are exceptionally pretty at the historic cemetery this year.

And the icing on the cake – the purple irises are starting to bloom at the historic cemetery.

This is one I transplanted from the old garden

Beyond that, the daylily seedlings are popping up at a pretty good pace now with the warmer weather. We have our first seedlings from crosses with South Seas self-seed daylilies, and we have new crosses from our regular stock, including two new crosses with Red Volunteer.

Wishing you a wonderful day ahead!

Time to add some red

The Bluebells clematis is pretty much done blooming. The next wave of color is upon us with the red of the Weigelia. It is just starting to bloom.

Almost

The tulip, crocuses, grape hyacinth, and Blue Bells clematis are are done blooming. The pink clematis is holding on to the prize for current blooming,

but the weigelia is starting to take over.

That clematis used to have double trellises, but when we replaced the air conditioner (and furnace) in 2021 it had to be moved because the new box was much larger. The trellises went to the little house up north and stayed there when it was sold.

I like the trailing look in late spring, but I am considering a clematis re-plant option. Time will tell.

One more week for the clover to stay, and then it will be plucked. By then the weigelia will be in full bloom, with the hostas and Asian lilies not far behind, and the bees will have plenty to feast on after that.

In sad news, I made a recollection error when I thought the Tirzah x Marque Moon seed had sprouted. It has not. The pollinator created South Seas, Marque Moon, and, of course, Purple D’Oro have sprouted though. Still hopeful for the intentional cross. Time will tell.
