Mid-Atlantic Gardening: (almost) July blooms, 1 by stormyla

Roses, No, I don't have a separate Daylily bed. I have so few areas with sun that I just look for pockets of light and plant one there. The Asiatic & Oriental lilies grow well in shade so I mix them all through out the beds. I know what you mean about plants drowning in the rain. I lost some Heuchs earlier to that, but now everything is parched to death!

Thanks, Sally, I'll be thrilled to grow some of your Dad's tiger lilies. That Daylily is definitely Frans Hals. I've recently seen several photos of Frans Hals and yours and Gita's are exact matches. I'm glad the Aster is doing well for you. You will be amazed at how big it will get in just 2 years. Last year it bloomed early, in mid August.

Here's my first Honeysuckle bloom. It's Dropmore Scarlet.
