Great photos and really great gardens.
Patti - could your double daylily be Fires of Fiji?
Jo Ann - upper right is Fortune, right?
Nice to have amaryllises bloom indoors in winter and outside in summer.

You are right. It threw me off because its blooming where I planted Innocense in a different garden than the one where Fortune is planted. Both are from you. I must have just stuck the 2 plants together in the Shade garden. A bag of JI's looks the same.
Beautiful Jo!
I checked Ensata where I have bought many iris. Chyo No Haru is familier.
Cathy, I have L.Fata Morgana too, but it hasn't bloomed yet. I think I like it better, but both very nice. L. Elodie hasn't bloomed yet either. Hope it does as I like it best too. There are a couple more pink double ones that I am hoping return, Div. 1 Asiatic Hybrids Spring Pink, Div. 7 Oriental Hybrids Miss Lucy, and Div. 1 Asiatic Hybrids Aphrodite
Wha, yes, we have two rabbits that have no appetite and don't move but currently have one very bad rascally rabbit that got into the fenced part and now can't get out. Our dogs chase it endlessly, but haven't caught it yet. We have a trap set to try to save it from the dogs as they will kill it if they ever catch it. They have broken so many plants and it has eaten a few things.
Pirl, love your summer blooming Hippeastrum. Clever you.
Veggie bed is coming along and so are the weeds. I did get the stone walks all weeded today but not the veggie bed. DH moved all the stuff off the back terrace so it looks less like the Ozarks plus he got out the chain saw and took down a dead cedar. He also weed whacked all the last yellow narcissus foliage out in the yard and is attacking the woods now. Poison Ivy city in there. I need to go out with the camera as there are more new kids out today. Our visit with DH's Aunt was very nice. The plant she really liked was a old patch of Indigofera. Patti
nice vedgie garden Patti
wow peppers already!
Is Stunning a Buggy lily? Pirl
Yes, it was, Jo Ann.
ge1836, I planted a couple in 2008 and they are indeed stunning.
My notes from Buggycrazy
Easy Asiatic Lily An Asiatic seedling from Yellow Blaze with huge, lemon yellow flowers on 4-5 foot stems that is just stunningly bright! Large purple spots and a high bud count make this a great bright spot in the June garden. This is one of the few lilies we named upon first sight, from the kitchen window it was spotted way out in the field and we had to get out there and see who that stunning lily was!
It was well named....just a beautiful lily!
Boy to I miss Buggy. Her lilies were the very best. Patti
Gorgeous pics, everyone! Lots of stuff blooming now.
Patti, I'm pretending the weeds in between the stones in the path are some kind of ground cover. If you had never mentioned they were weeds, I never would have known!
Marilyn, I'm glad to hear that the spinosad worked for you. Woohoo! I have to spray mine again. I also need to get out there and spray with liquid fence. I saw a deer at my next door neighbors this evening, and one of my lilies is missing buds. I'm surprised they didn't do more than munch on just those.
Bill, I had sunflowers one year. The squirrels chewed off the flowers as soon as they started blooming. I was so mad!
Pirl, Stunning is stunning, and your amaryllis is gorgeous!
Here are some from me.

Thanks Pirl and Patti. I think I have Stunning in with the Asiatic mix I bought month before she went out of business.
Nice to have a name.Mine should be open,when daylight comes I'll pix it.
Hard Rock Cafe is wonderful, Karen! They are all beautiful.
I agree, love SC Sonata!
'Stunning' is appropriately named:)
It really is, Pixie. Just 51 weeks to your birthday!
Ha ha! A mere few weeks to yours Dear Pirl ;)
Speed limit one, too! Scary!
Ha!
That lily will end up double your height, Pixie!
Get the ladder ready to take photos.
Karen, your Mom's cultivar, Hard Rock Cafe, is gorgeous! Pixie, what have you been feeding those lilies! I have some tall ones....Conca d'or...I'll have to measure them...
Splendid photograph, Pixie! Perfect.
Make sure you enter that one in Plant Files and in the photo contest.
Thanks Pirl :)
