04 Jul 2008still a few blooms Daylily 'Chorus Line' Blooming and Front Yard gardenSunny 27°C / 80°F
‘Chorus Line’ is still blooming and I still see a few buds, so it will keep going for a bit longer. I’m very impressed with how this has done this year, especially compared to ‘Margaret Davis’ on the opposite side. ‘Chorus Line’ is not in full sun and I...

04 Jul 2008Ferny is doing better 2 Boston Fern and Front Yard gardenThanks to being outside and being on a hopefully better watering routine, Ferny is looking a lot better. It has put out a bunch of new growth and I’m going to cut off some of the totally dead fronds.Sunny 27°C / 80°F

04 Jul 2008Sometimes I get photos that really surprise me Hydrangea 'Penny Mac' Blooming and Backyard gardenSunny 27°C / 80°F
I think this is a really great shot of my ‘Penny Mac’ bloom as it colors up. It was taken in the late afternoon and I love how the background has totally blacked out. A glamour shot to be sure!

04 Jul 2008getting closer to blooming Hydrangea 'Limelight' Budding and Backyard gardenSunny 27°C / 80°F
‘Limelight’ looks like a few of the flowers that make up its blooms are just now starting to open. I think we will have full bloom within the next few weeks. It is looks great and is doing much better with the heat than some of the macrophyllas. I don’t water ‘Limelight&...

04 Jul 20082nd bloom is open Hydrangea 'Together' #2 Blooming and Backyard gardenSunny 27°C / 80°F
The second bloom on Together #2 is open and it looks beautiful. This one is blooming purple-pink, as it was potted when it started blooming and I’m guessing they didn’t put enough aluminum sulfate on it to turn it all the way blue. I do think the blooms are really pretty color. If ...

03 Jul 2008pale blooms this year Hemerocalli 'Mattie Mae Maxwell' Blooming and Front Yard gardenSunny 27°C / 80°F
Mattie has had kind of a rough year so far this year I think. One plant did not come up at all this year and the two smaller plants have looked not that great. I had only been watering them twice a week, but when I started seeing pods drying up and not blooming, I instituted my “daylilies...

02 Jul 2008I have achieved purple!! 1 Hydrangea 'Endless Summer' #3 Blooming and Backyard gardenSunny 26°C / 79°F
Looked at ES#3 today and the one bud I had seen coming is now open. And… it is light PURPLE! This is a nice surprise, as I want a purple hydrangea, but I’m actually trying to achieve this inground with a strong red on my acid soil. But, I digress…
ES#3 was a baby at the start...

02 Jul 2008starting to open Lily 'Stargazer' Blooming and Perennial Bed gardenSunny 26°C / 79°F
My first ‘Stargazer’ bloom is starting to open and it is very pretty. I was wondering if these would bloom this year, as I got them in the gound pretty late. Last year I did the same thing with ‘Mona Lisa’ and they didn’t come up at all last year, coming up and blo...

02 Jul 2008I'm not sure this is Stargazer Lily 'Stargazer' and Perennial Bed gardenNow that one of the Stargazer bulbs I planted earlier this year has opened, I’m not sure this plant is Stargazer. It did have a lovely fragrance, but I think the color is wrong. Maybe ‘Mona Lisa’ or some other relative.Sunny 26°C / 79°F
