Daylilies And A Canna

Chamonix daylily. The daylilies, this
year, are larger and more deeply
colored than last year - maybe
because they are blooming a month
earlier and the temperatures are cooler.

Wind Frills and Frankly Scarlet. The flower
on the Wind Frills is so large - it just takes my
breath away when I walk past it.

Old Fashioned Maiden daylily

Moonlight Masquerade daylily

New addition to the garden - a dwarf pink canna. It didn't come with
a name. 

Summer Has Arrived Early

I think summer has arrived early. The temperature has been between 95-100 degrees daily for the past couple of weeks. I may start posting less and less as the heat takes it toll on the garden. I usually go out and work in the garden around 7 a.m. and try to finish up by 9 a.m. It is just too hot to be outdoors much, unless you have a swimming pool. It is sad to see all the beautiful blooms melt by afternoon. I will try next year to incorporate a larger variety of drought tolerant plants.  I have been planning ahead for fall already - digging more flower beds and trying to decide where to put new shrubs and trees that will be purchased in the fall. I moved one of the Junipers to an area along side the fence by our gate. My aunt gave me a daylily from her garden about 20 years ago. I call it a "wild" daylily and named it "Ella" after her. This particular one multiplies like crazy and can withstand the heat. I am planning on planting a whole row of these along the outside fence along the road. They look beautiful in large masses. My husband picked our first tomato this morning. Delicious! I think it was "Celebrity" variety. The tomato plants have gotten SO large and couldn't find the tag under it.

These are so beautiful in the morning I just can't walk by them without
snapping a photo. "Janice Brown" daylily

The same goes for "Navajo Princess" daylily- so beautiful in the morning.
