| 'Marietta Dreamer' - Love this color. They call it light purple with a deep purple eye. |
 |
| 'Abalone Angel' - I think that's who she is anyway. If I'm right, she'll be blooming for quite a while. The reason for my doubt is that AA is supposed to be fragrant and pastel peach pink with a gold edge. Possibly peach, but I don't see pink. But she is definitely fragrant. |
 |
| 'Passion District' - First blooms that I have seen are rarely true to description. This is supposed to be red with a lighter red watermark. Today it was a brownish color. We'll see how the blooms progress. |
 |
| 'White Pet' in the back garden - a huge cluster with another coming. |
 |
| 'Key To My Heart' - This daylily has grown on me. I really didn't like the color combination until the end of the second season, last year. This spring it has been superb. It's a Bob Carr hybrid, so I should have known it would be great. |
 |
| 'Key To My Heart' |
 |
| This lovely fragant daylily has no ID. I forgot to save the name on the box. |
 |
| The color is the brightest yellow with a hint of green, and it's a heavy bloomer. |
 |
| This is a Gingerland caladium popping out of the ground that I planted two or three weekends ago along the fences in the back garden. I thought they would soften those hard edges. |
 |
| A whole leaf is up on this one. Yay! I also planted ten Florida Sweethearts at the same time. They haven't started popping up yet. |
 |
| I believe this is 'Crimson Pirate', but he's another one I bought before I started seriously growing DL's and didn't make note of the name. He adds so much cheerfulness to the garden. |
 |
| Here he is again. I bought a box of 13 bareroots at Sam's so they're all over the back garden . This is another one that has weedled its way into my heart. I've grown to really like the thin petals and the long scapes fluttering in the breeze. |
 |
| Really! How could you not love this guy? |
 |
| 'Madame Joseph Bonnaire' liked being moved out of the ground and into a pot. Go figure! She still has very few leaves but beautiful, fragrant blooms. I deadheaded her very hard, cutting her 4-foot tall canes in half. We'll see if that brings more bushiness. I also fed her this evening. She's an early Hybrid Tea from 1891, and her parents are 'Adam', a Tea rose, and 'Paul Neyron', a Hybrid Perpetual. Hence, the new class of the late 1800's, Hybrid Teas. |
