Gorgeous! My gardens have mostly all gone "wild" this year, but nowhere near as lovely as yours! I wish this heat and humidity would go away, so I could get out there and do some much needed work. Unfortunately, the next week or longer will be more of the same misery (high 80s++ and sky-rocketing dew points)... le sigh.

Thank you! Same here. Days with cooler weather becoming the premium.

Lindalana your garden is lovely!! I also love lilies very much and have several fragrant and oriental beauties…. but last year and early this year, I had the lily beetle so bad, you could see them mating on the leaves…..many couples! 😝

They were so eaten and damaged, I did not even get a bloom I could cut for inside. They all had to be dug out…. sigh. So it’s nice to see you have not suffered the same fate. 🤞🏽

My garden in back has gone quite wild as well with all the rain we have been getting. Just got done absolutely pouring here. Water was floating in our raised garden beds.

But here’s a pic from a few days ago:

Beautiful and a woodland setting is unconventional for asiatic lilies. The quiet varied shade highlights the flowers beautifully. Really very lovely.

debra -- love your platycodon! Lovely color. I wish I could find the taller variety for sale somewhere.

Roxana, haha, I didn’t realize they would get so big! I planted them at the front of the bed thinking they would stay somewhat small, but now they’re so tall they are falling apart in the middle, like salvia when it’s not supported. I did just trim them back to control the size. I do like them and so do the bees. 🐝

Thank you much! Yes, woodland does not lend itself for lily show so I trick what I can...

Debra, that some sunny patch for hostas, love that combo too! I heard about those beetles, they sound awful. Indianagardengirl, I love Conca, just ordered for fall shipment. That soft yellow is so cool! I remember visiting Bob Griesbach lily garden, all 5 acres filled with various daylily and lilies he was hybridizing.therr was no watering system set up, he wanted them to be weather resilient and sturdy. 5 acres of bloom was something else!

Spectacular gardens! I especially love the 2nd picture, beautiful lily and hosta arrangement. That one with bright white center caught my attention.
