Snowing really good here now, and our work canceled, so I'm home working on labeling and organizing literally thousands of dayliliy pics taken last summer and the summer before that. Will take me all winter, but that's okay, cause I need a winter project. And looking at all those DL's will get me thinking and dreaming of summer.

Jo, DD's corner garden is awesome! Funny how steep slopes never look steep when photographed head-on. That 'Garden Treasure' lily is a beauty. I'm thinking maybe your lasagna garden might have smothered out the moth mullein. Either that or it's a biennial. I love mulleins and usually let the wild ones grow in my beds, as long as they aren't crowding out anything. I have some cultivated varieties, too. Some are very difficult to grow. The common mullein is a biennial, as are many of the cultivars. I don't know about that moth mullein. It sure is a pretty one. 'Shocking' is aptly named! Does that and 'Species Regal' need staking? That blue and orange combo with 'Orange Art' and the larkspur is very pretty. Your trellis idea is great!

Celleste, that Helleborine is a pretty thing! Looks like it could be related to the lady's slipper, which is also a member of the orchid family. And do you know that daylilies are closely related to orchids? They are also closely related to grass. They are related more to those two families than to actual lilies. Love your 'Elusive'.

Pretty Eupatorium, Polly. I really like that one. I need to get some now.

I have only one tall grass at my place. Would be nice to incorporate a few more.

Nice spring blooms, Celeste. I would call that one NOID 'Strawberry Ripple' to go with your 'Blueberry Ripple'.

Gorgeous garden with the 'Hakonekloa' grass clumps, Jo. Nice!
