June blooms

Grey Witch! second year in my yard and it came back really well this year, lots of blooms, and in a nice not too sunny place making it bloom just right... so far anyway.. :)

welcome to the yard this year is Tylweth Teg. I really liked the subtle yellow color with more vivid throat, also the roundness of petals... I've been tempted to by Asterisk too in the past, decided on this one. :) the last one is a nice flat red color with a bright green throat I just love when it has multiple blooms, it's a daylily from Henry's reject pile I've posted before...

blooms that escaped the hail damage... :)

every garden needs a clump of Siloam Ury Winneford! nice tall stems above the leaves, great curvy creamy blooms with dark eyes. so nice. :)

the last three pics are Midnight Kenyan Safari again, a coleus with a pretty stripe in the leaves, and Siloam Holy City. :)

hailstorm May 2012

might as well post about the hail that came through here last week, tore up a lot of flowers and worse lots and lots of buds and scapes.... well there's always next summer right? ha

few more bloom pics before work in the morning

first pic is Gene Walker, but I really need to take a better pic, this was a quick one before going to work this morning. next is a red seedling I liked except I wish it wasn't so bitonal.
the last is a first for me in the yard this summer, Little Seasprite. I like the little ones that have 3 distinct colors and contrast. :) I need a better pic of this too but I had to leave early this morning and these are the last 2 buds on the plant. ha

other pics show this with a darker blue green sort of eye, but it looked for purpley blue this morning, either way I like it, and look forward to a nice little clump of it...of course.

mem weekend blooms

new to the garden this year is Green Treat, and I like it! next pic is Siloam Fashion Quilt.

another new one for me this summer, Silaom Double Success ffo.... and then a nice little one Little Red Flirt.

few more daylilies from end of May

here's an interesting seedling from a couple years ago, opening up nicely in this pic but sometimes it's spread out or folded up weird. Next is Julia's Love! put this in back or center of a bed, and woosh! get a nice clump going and it looks great!

Double River Wye, nice bright blooms and good airy height. the last one show the corner bed under the oak tree. :)

end of May, beginning of lots of blooms....

the first flower is Midnight Kenyan Safari, a really nice russet terra cotta colored flower with dark buds. next is Alley Cat Blues, a unique bitone - I like the veining! and third is a seedling from Siloam Rhinestone with a redder tone I think.

the yellow is Siloam College Street , so healthy and bright. Siloam Amazement's FFO this year wasn't as round as I'd like but nice and big and full of color. :) the last photo is a seedling unknown parentage but probably something Siloam like S. Pink Elegance would be my guess. it is a very pretty bright colored lily although flaws: the stems are a bit thin and curvy, and it sometimes doubles or half doubles, but I'm still keeping it! ha
