A real non stella Scape.

15 years ago

I was so excited to find a nice thick scape on Ornamental Focus, I simply love this daylily, and it is usually one that will bloom with the stellas, what a great thing that is. Also my turk's cap lilies that I planted a month ago, the ones I took such care to raise the bed, and then put them in cages, finally came up, it had been a month, and I thought maybe I lost them, but then I saw how it took Rita's spring lily planting about a month to break the surface, it is just so exciting , isn't it? Then I have scapes coming up on 8 of my new orders, I think I will let them have one bloom just to make sure they are what they are supposed to be??!!! At least that is my excuse for keeping the scapes on the newly planted ones. Guess all this rain is good for something, the dayliles are loving it.

Here is the bulb lily, finally!! This is one of the maroon ones,I also planted white ones, that bloom in august. They prefer morning sun only, so this was the perfect spot. Guess it doesn't take much to make me happy!

The birdbath planting is doing well, it is front of the lilies that are just coming up. And if you look closely you will see Bowie relaxing in the leaves, I use this small fenced in area to mulch leaves. It is completely closed in, but I leave the door open just a little so Bowie and his family can relax there. They seem to like it.

I think that Bowie and Whiskey decided to divide the chores!! Whiskey helps with the planting and is doing the mole patrol, which I hope he is doing here!! He seemed to have found something.

And Bowie supervises and stands guard.

Here is Bowie coming out of the fenced in area, after I took his picture, and he was following me along, He seems to be telling me he was ready to get to work. LOL

Cindy, I forget the date when I planted my lily bulbs but they are coming up all over the place now. I love when I see the lilies sticking their green noses up out of the ground. Your new lilies are going to be stunning. Be sure and let us see when they bloom.

Hurray, a real daylily scape. Isn't it funny how we all seem to not count the poor Stellas? Your scape looks good. Your garden looks great. I love Bowies sleeping place in the fenced in area on top of the leaves. Perfect place for a kitty (or two) to get in their naps :-)

Wonderful to have scapes! And a nice one too, I had Ornamental Focus but it died before I ever saw a bloom. I'm glad Bowie & Whiskey have divided the chores to their satisfaction, although I'm not too sure there could be too many for mole patrol.

I also have scapes on my ornamental focus and I was just so excited! I had a tiny little yellow (not Stella) daylily bloom earlier but I don't know what it's name is but it is so sweet and such an early bloomer. I think I will move it to a rock garden. I loved the picture of bowie in the caged area, such a pretty cat. Your yard sure has filled in it's amazing. take care

I am glad Bowie is getting some help with his garden work, and hes got a nice place to rest and take his naps.. Your garden is nice and green.I am sure you will have a lot of blooms before long.

LOL Bowie poses for his fans. Scapes are exciting, Cindy! Which of your new plants have them?
Poor Stellas! I noticed a Vanilla Stella on the LA this year and thought that could be neat so I'm waiting for the Verdict on that one. :)

LOL, love the cat pics. Always enjoy them and they seem so content to be part of the garden scenery.
