Even a rainy day is colorful

7 comments

Another day with rain and sometimes fog, but the flowers still open. Right outside my back door I have a large trough type container with lilies, and another stalk of yellow ones is opening.

Nearby is a dahlia that I had plucked the bulb out of the container the lily is in, and threw it into the weeds that were growing behind my house. I noticed it last year, and when I cleaned up the area this year, I kept the plant and now it is flowering again.

One of the first daylilies I bought many years ago was "Palace Garden Beauty’.

‘Pico do Falco’ is open, again.

From the first year I began hybridizing is (Unk x Lacy Doily).

Showing off a really nice eye is (Core Values x Life is a Highway). This is 6 inches across, 33" tall with 4 branches. 17 buds!

Here is another Lily that is open with a nice color. Scented.

The Hibiscus ‘Cosmic Dancer’ is also open, again.

And open is Helconia schiedeana, even if the leaves are beaten up by the wind.

Since I was cutting (pruning) a lot of trees, I made a deer for the garden. What I got was a place for a cat to sleep – it is the black and white lump on the deer’s back.
