Some from the past week

I haven't had any time to post, so am way far behind. We have not had any rain this month here and it looks like we won't get any until at least Saturday - hope that changes. Temps have been super hot, other than last Friday and Saturday which were cooler. Anyway, here are some that have been blooming.


Shadow Walker with a side of Dancing With Giraffes



All American Chief



Grace Like Rain - picture taken around 5:30PM on a hot day



Tina and Lane's Rhapsody in Purple - daylily we had named for my parents a couple of years ago for their 50th anniversary.



Wispy Rays - on the 4th of July



Brookwood Wow



I'll put more in the comments shortly...

    The best is your harden pic, wish I could see it in person! Grace Like Rain is really pretty, jumping Jack is nice, and I always love Rose f. Kennedy, that one is a real eye catcher. Can't leave out Bullfrog Kisses either, i have afmired that one si ce Debra girst posted it. Green Rainbow has been amazing here this year, I am really liking that one. Tons of perfectly beautiful blooms.

    I love that last garden shot! Anything fronted by Forever Redeemed and backed by delphiniums has me oohing and ahhhing. My favorite daylily is Glory To His Name. What a great clump, even if a couple of the blooms are a bit splotchy. Works for Me and Getting Airborne also captivate me.

    Wow! so many favorites and beauties. No way can I pick any from among all of those! Keep them coming.

    Question: how accurate is your photo of Brookwood Wow? I have a noid that looks so much like it and the stats are close. I looked it up on garden.org, and some of the photos there are close to yours, & others differ.

    My favorite is the garden shot with Up and at Em. Most of Judy's have performed well here in an otherwise not-very-good year. (A few of hers have not, including Sultry Girls.) I'm surprised that Bullfrog Kisses does well for you, but you successfully grow some cultivars (such as Aaron Brown) that do nothing here. Glory to His Name also had more splotches here (bloom was smaller than last year). I would be more excited about Rose F. Kennedy if she ever multiplied.

    I don't think those are delphiniums in the background, Debra. Perhaps baptisia?

    Lovely shots of so many beauties! Like others, I love the garden picture. So many pretty things going on in that garden! Sorry about the no rain and heat. Some of your lilies seem to be holding up well. Love the clumps

    The garden shot takes the grand prize. What lovely combinations. I also say bravo on getting such a good picture of it. I can't tell you how glorious my garden can look to me only to point a camera at it and see all the imperfections in the lens. Yours is wonderful.........As for my favorites, there are many. All American Chief is striking. Tall Dark Stranger looks like a good grower and Wyatt's Cameo catches my eye because of the golden yellow color. All of yours are pretty.....Maryl

    I am hoping my Bullfrog Kisses will look like that this year since it is its leap year. Yours is lovely with all the buds. Grace LIke Rain is beautiful after a day in the sun. Every time I see Souls on Fire, I regret losing mine...that is such an intense pretty red and a lovely photo. Up and At Em makes me drool...but with all your lovely photos, it is still the garden shot that I really do enjoy and it is my favorite. You have a lovely garden, Laura.

    Thanks everyone! Debra and Mantis - the blue in the garden shot is Siberian catmint - loved by the hummingbirds. It does spread and flops sometimes, but I love it - and the deer and bunnies don't. Brad, my photo of Brookwood Wow is accurate to my eye - but I think that photo was taken in the morning shade, so the color might be a bit off. I won't have time until next week, but I will check it against the stats and will try to get a couple more pictures of it.

    Such a lovely garden you have! My one of favorites today is Wispy Rays, a really cool poly, it’s lovely without the poly bloom. Tall Dark Stranger is luscious and Bullfrog Kisses are great today. What lovely photo of Brookwood Wow!
