Thanks Victor, lots of color now, but we are leaving for awhile so I will miss a bunch of the lilies which makes me crazy sad. Friends are staying in our house, so they will enjoy it. Another view. Patti
The Long View 2009 #3
Last one for today. Patti
Wow! Love the shot with the 'lavender walk'. Gorgeous.
Yes - that's the one bummer about going away during the gardening season!
Thankyou guys. It is raining again here too. The good thing is I smushed at least 20 more of the slimy slugs this am. :)
Patti your garden looks wonderful . The daylilies make me very envious. A lot of blooms this year but also a lot of fungus and streaking from all the rain. The later buds are better since we have been having more sunny days. That last pic is really nice, love the colors.
So I got fungus too? What is this nasty stuff???? But the lilies are looking great so far. Patti
ngam beautyful
Patti just takes my breath away.
I cant figure out why my picsa files arent the same on both computers.
My laptop has a different web browser maybe thats it.
Are your lilies blooming?
I've had that weird stuff too, Patti. If you step on it a black powder comes out.
Oh ya the dog vomit fungus. Yuck. I don't know the real name for it but that's what I call it. LOL It's really gross.
Ngam, Perfect description.
Ge1836 These are short shots of some of the warm tone July lilies in bloom. Patti
beautiful patti!
Wha, Thanks, one more of some the pinks and reds and whites blooming in July. The dear bunnies got some, but I still have plenty to come yet. Patti
looks like a catalog!!
This one is special with an amazing scent and it is about 7' tall which is a lot taller than I expected. We planted them in 2006.with a climbing rose 'Flutterbye' which I love too. Patti

Initial Comments:
8.75 for 5 raspberry with yellow heart 3' to 4' july and aug Orienpet Lily Satisfaction
Fabulous paired with Orienpet Lily Honeymoon, it is deep raspberry-red with a beaming yellow heart and ever so narrow, yellow-white petal margins. Combining the stature of the Chinese Trumpet Lily with the exotic beauty of Oriental Hybrids, Orienpet Lilies have a subtle fragrance reminiscent of raspberries and roses. This variety puts on a particularly spectacular show since its huge flowers are both upward and outward-facing. Bulb size: 14/16 cm. July/August. 3’ to 4’. HZ: 4-8.
Looks like my Satisfaction
It is Satisfaction and I am more than satisfied. Patti

The color match method works, now if I could remember to check the bloom time I'd have the whole thing knocked . lol

here is a picture of the right side
Just beautiful Bill!! I have 15 acres that needs landscaping......wanna come play??
I have rocks. lol
what is the pay scale for playing in the yard?
Well have to talk about that! lol
what about lunch at the naked diner???
Umm.....it burned down. It was arson, seems the country folks didn't like the idea much.
Wha, loving all your amazing work, especially happy to see your stone arch still standing and I call double dibs on that empty hammock. What a spot! Your bird houses are amazing, but you must know that I think that every time I see them. Everything looks so healthy. Your pairing of that amazing Shirazz and Bloodgood looks great, but I would think about moving that mop head hydrangea next to them, as it is a tad to voluptuous next to those elegant and refined Japanese Maples. But that is hardy a complaint, as it your work is fabulous. Perhaps when the Japanese Maples get bigger the scale will be fine. I just had to complain about something, while I sit here green with envy! Patti
thx patti - i hear you about the ES hydrangea - another next to a viridis jm has taken over this year - third year in for them and they have gotten much bigger - for the one you mention it will stay as there is also one across from it and they act as and "entrance" to the garden area and i will patiently wait for the jm's to grow to get things back to scale - both should get to 15' at maturity - for the other one i will need to expand the bed and move it away from the viridis next spring.
btw patti you can see some of the pink geranium you gave me in the front of this post - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=6850103
they even have a couple flowers - most everything has made it except for the oakleaf hydrangea's, only one or two are still going.
The little blue spruce reminds me of my childhood home. I was 4 when parents bought it & it was above the telephone wires when I married at age 23. Lovely landscaping all around.
