It was insane!! * The daylilies are well on their way coming into show as well and one that I absolutely TREASURE is "Red Resplendence" A friend gave this one to me because she hated the color..she had thousands of daylily varieties and I was blown away by this rich blood red spider variant with deep rich golden eyezone and ribs. It is HuGE....about 10" across on some blooms. I would not want to go a summer without being graced by Red Resplendence' presence!!! * The 2 clematis in the pix are both alpine varieties and are just jam packed with bloom pretty much overnight. I love the twisted ends of the purple petals. * Another of my Abutilons I purchase this spring is "Jackie O's Lipstick' besides loving the name I adore the bloom. The calyx is deep reddish black with brilliant bubble gum coral pink blooms * The final shot is another poppy seedling bloom that opened today. Every blossom is so unique and beautiful. I can't get enough photos of these beauties!!! Enjoy the week all!!
