Whats Blooming Here

17 years ago

Starting on the downhill side of the peak, but still many new faces every morning. Yikes, I saw mums for sale today, that is the "beginning of the end", gotta keep it going.

Some of my favorites were blooming today.

Continental Holiday, first year here.

Druid's Chant, love this one added to it this year.

Brutus, a really good late starter, and no it's not planted under a tree, that is just a stump.

Suntemple Spirit, another later one that is just getting started.

Pony

Gillian, love, love this one

Create Your Dreams, this one caught my eye at Cottage Gardens.

Sink Into These Eyes. I know, should have cut the scapes that came up, this was planted mid June after getting it from Maryott. You know how his always send up scapes just minutes after planting LOL. Just couldn't bring myself to do that.

Three of my favorites together , Duck's Luck, Priscilla's Rainbow and Sink Into These Eyes, it was a good bloom day.

Open My Eyes, thanks to a post here, had to go get it!!!

A shot of that front bed that I did last summer. If you look closely, that's Bowie, by the tree. He's keeping his eye on me : ))

Here is a shot of that front bed from this past spring. The golf tees, if you see them in any of my beds, is marking where I have open space for more daffs, Got 300 more coming this fall.

Here's the other new bed filling up. I've added some iris, have the daffs and bulb lilies coming and will put mums in for the fall color.

It's just what I love about gardening. :o)))

another shot of how I have filled up that widening of a bed to fit more in. You can see a hose on the left hand side , cause I've gotta widen the other side now too!!! Plus I have bricks layed out to connect the two beds, it will make room for a few more. I will have to place the stepping stones across it, for easier access to the other parts of the yard. You gotta do what you gotta do!!!

Your CONTINENTAL HOLIDAY looks great, much better than mine in fact :-(( GILLIAN is a good one, I had mine in the plateau and just moved it to the trellis garden in the front yard. CREATE YOUR DREAMS is just lovely, in fact its my pick of your blooms today. Not one that I remember seeing before but I can see why it caught your attention at the sales garden.

Your garden beds are all looking so nice! I remember the pictures of when you were doing that front yard bed and I remember all those rocks. I thought at the time it was a marvelous idea and I still do! I love the looks of it.

Well, I see that grass disapearing in your back yard really quickly. Looks like I am not the only one that has been doing lots of garden work lately. You have been a busy bee on those daylily bed expansions. I just love the looks of your beds and the lake in the backround. What a great place to sit and relax.

Cindy, I had to laugh. We all do it, don't we. Expannnnnd.

I love Open My Eyes. Continental Holiday is beautiful in fact they all are. Your beds are lovely, especially with the bulbs early and later and then mums. I see Bowir watching you. Thanks for posting. I always feel better when I see another addict furiously working to plant more.

Beautiful garden shots! I love how that one looks with daffodils in the spring! My favorite daylilies on this post were Continental Holiday and Open My Eyes.

Nice job on your gardens. Are you finding anytime to sit back and enjoy it? Bowie is so cute.
I like the colors of CREATE YOUR DREAMS. Nice form of the bloom too. Great photo of CONTINENTAL HOLIDAY.

Love your garden shots, especially the one showing the daffodils and then the daylilies. It's obvious you love gardening:)

Like so many others, Continental Holiday is my favorite, followed closely by Open My Eyes.

I love the pic of Continental Holiday, also. Your beds all look terrific, especially the way you've landscaped with the large rocks as borders.

Your trick of using golf tees to make where more spring bulbs can be planted is a great idea.
