If any of you need daylilies, I highly recommend Wynn's Daylilies, where I got most of those in the picture. GREAT prices and she sent really nice plants. Very generous with the number of fans and bonus plants too.

Those were my Mother's Day present. Marshall asked what I wanted, I said I wanted some money to get some daylilies.

Wind, I know I read something in the lily forum recently about Easter lilies being prone to some kind of virus. As I recall, someone was saying not to plant them near your other lilies. Might want to check there or ask the lily folks about it.

That Honeymoon lily is really pretty. My lilies have buds but none are blooming just yet. The bellflowers do make seed, I'm sure, but seem to mostly spread from the roots. I have them blocked in by one of those plastic bed edge things and I just pull the ones going where I don't want them every spring.

Here's one of my orienpets from last year. The flowers are huge. Oh, btw, anyone in the DC area wanting to get really nice lilies for pretty cheap should join the Potomac Lily Society. Only costs $4 a year and they do a big lily bulb sale every fall. You do have to go to their fall picnic to pick them up, which is in Arlington I think.

Here's what they had last year:
