Finally I can share, or rather put it, I have something to share. The first one is Night Flyer I think, the second is the nightmare of a lily bed. I've been working for 4 years to get this bed together and its finally working. I ripped out the whole thing last fall, worked it over, filled it wth seaweed, manure, compost and milorganite then dug it all in down to two feet. I planted daffodils and crocuses in with the lilies when I replanted. This spring I packed it with heirloom nicotiana and lupines. The daffodils look kind of ratty right now and will be cut down in the next week or so The nicotinia are starting to really move and will fill it in hiding the lily stems and blooming til next fall. These really reseed so it should look and smell fabulous next year. The lilies are going wild. Some are taller than me right now. I can't tell you what's in there, between the deer and rabbits the last few years and digging and replanting I haven't the faintest idea what's in there anymore.

#3 These are Tiger babies. These are the ones that waited out the winter in the fridge in the garage and my son helped me plant them by the front walk. They are so gorgeous.

#4 More of the Tiger babies.

#5 The Tiger Corgies Zivah and Sparkles. They're learning to be out in the front with me and are doing a very good job of it. What can you expect. They're Cardigans so they're extra smart.
