While waiting for daylilies.....

10 years ago

I've been enjoying all of your daylily photos and although mine have scapes, I don't have any blooming just yet. July and August are my months of bloom. So I've kept busy enjoying the other flowers blooming in my gardens and dragging the hoses around from garden to garden to keep everything alive in our drought. I hope you will all stick around next month when I'll actually have daylilies to share!

Celeste

Every year my foxgloves reseed and this is the result......

I have a lot of un-named peonies, mostly because they were passed along....

And an early-blooming white clematis which I had the tag long ago but now it is lost along with my memory...lol

This one is called 'Empress'

ITOH Peony 'Bartzella'

Oriental Poppies

Rhododendrons

Lots of shade gardens to keep cool in

I reached my ten photo limit so I will post below in the comments.

Your gardens are spectacular! Love everything in this post :)

All my peonies are unnamed, it's quite difficult to id them ;) I have a few hostas with missing tags and plan to find their names for sure this season.

And, of course, looking forward to your daylily pics!

More of the shady gardens.....

Showy Ladyslipper

Roses are blooming but with the severe drought and heat they blow quickly. It looks like rose season will be short-lived because the japanese beetles will be here in another week.

This is 'Quietness'

Asiatic lilies are blooming.....

I will post one more shot of the foxgloves mingling with the roses to close out this post.

Such a lovely garden! It's nice to see everything you have, love the foxgloves , haven't been able keep them going here. My lilies were pretty devastated by the small furry critters this year, first time that happened here. Peonies are gorgeous, some I've never seen before! Thanks for sharing, Celeste!

The foxgloves are just glorious! I so wish I could grow them here. They don't like our heat. My favorite photo is of the foxgloves with the roses. Your peonies are beautiful too!

Celeste,

I love your gardens! Thanks for posting. Foxgloves are a favorite of mine, but I've not had any survive. I also really like your Showy Ladyslipper, Rhododendrons, [I have one but it is really irregular on blooming, and grows ever so slow], Empress and Hosta [I do have hosta for my shady areas].

Everything looks so fresh; you must be watering. I particularly like the shade garden pics. The ladyslippers look both demure (with bowed heads) and ostentatious at the same time. Your Bartzella had a lot of blooms this year! The hakonechloa grass looks great with the hostas.

Thank you all for commenting. Yes, I have been watering Mantis. But it's not nearly enough to compensate for the drought because I have my own well and hand-watering has to be done sparingly. When it is this dry I realize I have gotten over my head with too many gardens. Things looks surprisingly good considering how bad the conditions are.

Love the ladyslipper. I enjoy gardens with native plants. I just bought Bartzella this year. Pat found it at one of the chain stores at a good price.

Thanks Kay. I just recalled what it's name is.....but Huldine is a nice try, although smaller in bloom size. I went to the Garden Crossings website (which is where I purchased it years ago) and saw they still sell it. The name is 'Candida'. (Sometimes just seeing the name brings my memory back from the dead....lol). It and Huldine look similiar but Candida has much larger blooms at 9 inches across. I know it is hard to tell from my photo that they are that large. What I love about this one is that it blooms twice.....once in May into June and then again in late summer.
