auction order arrived today!!!

14 years ago

It was like santa left a gift in my garage today. I did know it was coming, so I was ready.

All the daylilies looked fabulous. Whiskey is there on the right, he was curious at first, then seemed rather bored with it all!!

Then I turned around and had a good laugh. My patio looked like I was a kid and just opened all my Christmas presents and the wrapping paper was all over!! It sure did make me feel like a kid at Christmas. LOL Several of the daylilies were more than 5 fans!!

They got a bit of a soak and are already planted in the garden.

Oh, my new babies are

Pebble in a Pond

Poly Parrot

Picotee Prism

Subtle Knife

Waterdrops

Waxwing Watercolor

City of New Orleans

Spacecoast Freaky Tiki

Dancing Chevrons

Ellis Powell

Dovelicious

Then, just because I LOVE them and got a great deal, I added more of

Fashion Police, Halloween Trick, Wizard at Large, Sunshine All Day. I just wanted huge clumps of blooms. So now maybe I will have that.

A look at my largest Azelea that is in full bloom right now.

The Tall Bearded Iris are putting up tons and tons of buds!! The dwarf iris are in bloom now. This is What Again

{{gwi:693291}}

This dwarf iris is Jive, here in the rain we got the other day. WE dodged the bullet on the snowfall, but it did get very cold. Hopefully, it will start to act more like springtime

{{gwi:693292}}

The dwarfs all did so well, that I already put in an order for July planting. :) I am very anxious for the tall bearded iris to start blooming. I have many new ones that I haven't seen yet.

Oh, I should tell ya all, that the seller from the auction that I received all the daylilies from was abundantdaylilies. I have never been disappointed!!!

That Azalea of yours is just stunning. I love Azalea blooms. And the iris are pretty also.

I bet you really must have been thrilled with all those fabulous new daylilies. They look like they will be taking off right away growing like crazy. And you are so organized, getting them soaked and then already planted right away.

Gorgeous Azalea! Look at all the fans! No wonder Whiskey acted bored, he probably got tired checking all those out. They look really nice. I need to go see just what you got, I'm not familiar with most of them.
Congratulations, don't you just love getting new daylilies :) Be sure & show your iris as they bloom too, I love iris. The dwarf iris are really cute. What again is a rebloomer, right? A real bonus when they do rebloom.

Oh what is that spikey blue thing in front of the azalea? Please tell me it's a real plant and not a garden ornament so I don't feel silly. :)

That's a load of planting! I've always received huge fans from that seller, too. I hope you get some blooms this year so I can see what you added, since I'm not familiar with a lot of your additions.

I can see from your allium that we get the same gardening catalog. I almost ordered them myself. :)

Loved all you pictures, including the paper bag clutter. Love the iris and the allium and your enthusiasm. Abundant Daylilies is a great seller. I would love to know where you ordered the allium.

Thanks all, and the spikey blue things are metal alliums, and, they are from Gardeners Supply Company. I do love them. The dwarf iris What Again is a rebloomer! And I will post pics of my iris, I even noticed today, more buds!!
It took me about 4 hours to finish all the planting, but it helped greatly that the soil was prepared ahead of time.It worked out perfectly as we had plenty of rain today.
