I keep the annuals deadheaded to keep them blooming ~ that's why we plant them, right?! Toward the end of the season, some go to seed. I try to stay on top of the daturas daily ~ hate getting impaled by those nasty sharp pods.

As for most other things, they're taken care of probably twice a week. Old iris blooms turn into messy gobs and daylily blooms can get stuck and inhibit the newer buds opening. I don't bother with dh'ing lilies as they just fall off and the top part of the stem will removed when they're done. I'll deadhead the coneflowers until midsummer to keep them looking nice, but leave the rest for the birds. Any that I've cut off are given to bird-feeding friends.

Y'all come by the Lily Forum and share your beauties, OK? It's fun to watch the show start in April from Texas and proceed north through the states and Canada until Fall.
