Daylilies are making a splash in the garden
Now that we’re in the height of summer many of my roses have taken a break from blooming but my garden is still full of flowers. The hostas are flowering and so are most of the daylilies, black eyed susans, sunflowers, balloon flowers, petunias, impatiens and many others. Today I thought I’d show you a few of my beautiful daylilies. I think this one is called Candy Stripe or something to that effect. If definitely has the word Candy in it’s name. I grow this daylily in my planted front boulevard because it blooms several times each season. The next daylily is Sammy Russel and I think it’s beautiful. I love it’s vibrant color! Another colorful daylily that grows in my backyard is Bonanza. I love it’s bright yellow color. Last, but not least, is Cream Drop. I grow this daylily at the end of my driveway in front of my Valencia and Breath of Life roses. It’s soft yellow color goes well with their peachy orange. I know that many of our Green Thumb Sunday participants grow daylilies. What’s your favorite one? Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information. GTS participants remember to check in at As the Garden Grows each week so that we’ll know you made a new post!

I love the Bonanza one! They are all beautiful but the bright colors on that one really call to me!

Lovely! We have those ugly orange lillies that you can’t kill back by the mini-barn……………I’ve tried digging them up, wacking them with the weed eater, spraying them with weed killer and they won’t die!
Mine’s up!

Green Thumb Sunday #24…

I have some of all of these in my front yard. I heard that lilies, (I don’t know about these varieties) are toxic to cats. Is that true? My cats are fine, but maybe they just know to stay away from them.
