good combos

I enjoyed seeing these two daylilies blooming next to each other today. I like the way they sort of go together.. I was imagining a bed with a good 3 or 4 clumps of each in between each other, and then maybe some blue balloon flowers planted all around, that would look very nice. more pics of Midnight Mountain Aura and the double is Spotted Fever which I can seriously not seem to take enough pictures of.
click on the third pic and see the little guy resting on top. :)

garden color...

I like my new hosta "lakeside Paisley print" and look forward to it hopefully growing and increasing over the next years. the pink Hibiscus was just an extra annual I couldn't resist because of the bold blooms.

containers this summer....

I used the green and white ivy with oranges and dark pink accent

cool colors of blue daze with blue fescue and petunia's. the last one had orange hibiscus, zinnias, more green and white ivy ....

orange shades in the front bed

midnight madness

I took some pics of some of the first things I have blooming. the first one is Midnight Grape Splash; a morning photo and a sunnier photo...

this next one I've waited a few years to see bloom. I had it planted fall of '09 but last year it came up with 4 great fans but no scapes at all... phooey, I think it might have been a cold/warm/cold thing here in okc last spring. well anyway, this summer the 4 fans came up and then scapes too! I had been waiting and anticipatin whether it looked as beautiful as the photo from when I ordered it. and it does look beautiful. I like the thick pink and then the glow of pink in the eye with purple in between..... nice! ( again a morning pic and then sunnier view)

lots of cool colors in this pic, the planted I have petunias and blue daze with rose champion in the back. The rose champion gets pulled up as soon as the blooms are spent.
