What's blooming today?
Next Spring I think I’ll look for more day lilies. They make a lovely display in the garden, especially ones that bloom more than once each year!
If my memory serves me correctly the ones I’ve pictured above are called Candy Stripe and yes, they rebloom about four times each season. I grow them in the boulevard in front of my house.

Well, I missed Green Thumb Sunday yesterday. This is my main reason:
Yes, we got a puppy. She’s investigating some of the plants in the garden in this shot. As you can see we’ve had our first snow too.
Midnight is a Labrador Retriever pup and as you might already know Labs love to chew, chew, chew. I can only imagine what kind of challenges are ahead of me next spring and onward as far as keeping my garden intact!
That of course will be my goal. Keep the dog happy, but keep the garden looking nice too.
Luckily we have a number of nice parks in the area, as well as hiking trails and we aren’t too far from the beach. So … hopefully I’ll be able to keep the dog busy and happy in the various neighborhood parks and limit the damage that she might do to the garden.
Wish me luck!
BTW if you want to read more about Midnight and what happened after we brought her home early Saturday morning you can read about it at my other blog Tricia’s Musings.
When I was going through some of my older pictures on Saturday I came across this lovely fringed tulip photo.
I think this is the most beautiful tulip I grow. Actually this is possibly one of the most beautiful flowers of any kind that I grow.
I love it’s delicate fringes at the end of each petal. They’re unusual yet very pretty.
This tulip does well in my garden. It’s multiplying well. I should have dug up some of the bulbs last spring and planted some elsewhere so I could have more groupings of this tulip in other areas of the garden. I’ll have to try to remember to do that next spring.
