What's blooming today? #5

Yep, Pixie, "My Precious" is ordered - along with some other very tall pink lilies for the back of the garden (6 ft) , and some dark pink ones oriental lilies, Reo Negro. The picture is from Snow Creek Gardens web-site

Thanks for the choices Celeste! Appreciate it. I prefer real experience - everything sounds / looks good in catalogs and on websites. How about any rose, fuschia, deep pink, etc.? Thanks again.

Victor.....did I forget to put "Indian Giver" on the list above? Shame on me as this is what it GAVE me this morning.

"Carolyn Chriswell"

"Desert Song" this photo comes pretty close to the true color. It is almost neon it is so bright.

"Wayside King Royale"

I love this little lily, it comes up to about my knee.

Another lily, the tag is out there somewhere!

This little daylily is adorable!! It is so tiny, not as big as an egg but has lovely coloring.

This daylily is maybe 18-22" tall but it has a huge flower.

No-tag special...like it anyways!

"Daring Dilemma"

"Red Mystique"

"Broken Heart"

Lost-tag special lily.

Thanks Celeste - yes Indian Giver is real nice. On my list! All your shots are great. Unfair that you have all that space and no deer!!

No deer....are you kidding?? They come in the field behind our house, not on the lawn. They have a nice selection there so no need to eat my pretty's!!

Now the japanese beetles on the other hand have me fighting mad. They are eating my prettie's and everthing else!!

Nasty. Is that after applying your spray??

No, didn't spray my plants, just bushes.....now I have to spray everything. The neighbors have bags out but it's not helping!!

Thanks Lorettta.
Kim - I've been trying for years to entice a hummer to my yard.....congrats, you must be tickled pink!
Celeste - as usual, your 'pretties' are beautiful!

Some nice lilies here lately.

No JB's here, look like a pita.

Vistor on Natural Feeling phlox.

I've posted this one already, but I liked this photo.

as well you should - she's very pretty - even the fly thinks so!

Wow pixie you really have nice collection of DL's!!! How pretty!

Hi, all. I am so enjoying the daylily parade. I have another new one from Oakes (planted last fall) that is just blooming...'Little Heavenly Angel'

'Strawberry Candy', which was almost peachy last year, is much pinker now

I already posted, but here's a two-fer...'Plum Perfect'

here's the latest in the herb garden...curly mint

a few roses...'Joasine Hanet'

'Well Being'

a nice bud on 'Peace'

and inside, a little orchid, Diacattleya Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle'

Candy, love all the gazanias. I need to get some.

onewish, your strep is beautiful. it is indeed a houseplant and needs the same care as an African violet. I'll D-mail you a care link

Amazing! Everyone's blooms are just great.

now that was a nice way to wake up after a busy sunday.... thanks for the great shots everyone

UGH! I went out last night to remove the old dried buds off the DLs. When I got to my Outrageous, as I touched the scape, the unopened bud FELL OFF! I have had women faint when I approach, but this is the first time for flowers.
Any idea why it did that. I am glad one bud opened.

Thanks Dawn....I really don't have that many DL's compared to pirl!

Gram, I love that Orchid!! It's so dainty"Twinkle" is an apropriate name! Your "Strawberry Candy" looks more like the color is should be compared to last year. They say it takes three years for them to settle in properly and form a clump. Yours looks like it is in clump form by the number of blooms!
The bud on your "Peace" rose already shows a hint of the colors it will be displaying. It's lovely.....please be sure to show us it when it opens.

I've been waiting for the other"gramm" to show up before I posted this but I'm guessing she's been busy with Colin.
This is "Lady Eleanor"

FFO on "Siloam Jim Cooper"

2nd bloom on "Bridgeton Hoopla"

A few of my annuals......
