I know them as Lycoris.
I expect them in August.
They are my under growth for the French Lilacs.
I started these from seed taken from my Father's plants.
More blue flowers for my blue garden.
I will save seed.
The Sunflower garden has sprouted.
The Basil garden has sprouted.
I love the colour of your Morning Glory - the pale blue is amazing. Our Morning Glory are "heavenly blue" but read more purple :-}
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for the hibiscus to bloom - we planted it a few years ago as a 50th birthday gift for my husband - it bloomed for the first time last year (very exciting).
Hi Sherry - beautiful photos as usual. We have some Naked Ladies, too. I'll have to take a picture of one or two of them to share. I didn't realize that Surprise Lilies is another name for them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
ReplyDeleteThe birds planted these last year and I let them go to seed. I hope to save some seed this year and plant where I would like them too!
They are pretty. A tinge of "purple" is on the tips at full bloom.
My Father grew this Hibiscus in his yard. I was very pleased to be able to get some seed when we sold their house.
It is so nice you remembered your Husband's 50th with a Hibiscus. They have huge blooms!
It is very exciting when a treasured plant blooms. Part of our memory gardens.

Hi Mary C,
ReplyDeleteThese Lilies go by many names.
They are pretty. Mine are blooming about two weeks early this year.
I keep thinking every year I will move them but come Fall I forget!
I would like to grow something else in the bed they are in now, something the butterflies would like!

ReplyDeleteOh Sherry,
These are such beautiful flowers. I love the colors and stories of memory gardens. There seems to be so much thought that goes into gardening. A gardener must be thinking out years in the future for their vision to unfold. I love that!

Dear Sprite,
ReplyDeleteI think every garden changes as the gardener changes..
Mine have.
I know I plan a bed for five years to reach maturity.
Memory gardens are nice.
Special plants for special people or events.
Often a shade garden will become a sun garden or the other way around!
Keeping then up is the biggest job!
Sherry, who now is a native gardener
Seriously Sherry, have you considered creating some greetings cards with some of your images??? You REALLY should!
ReplyDeleteThe pale blue cools me off on a hot day. How about you?
ReplyDeleteLovely, Sherry!
Hi Jayne,
ReplyDeleteI have printed a few cards for friends and family. To print and sell I would need to take the photos to a printer. My ink is rather expensive. I bought an Epsom photo printer. It does a very nice job.
One of these days I will see about publishing a book. I need an agent!
I could sell a few photos, I have thousands.
Thank you for the compliment!
I did take to the camera.
It is so fun to walk around the yard and take pictures.
Sherry
Dear Mary,
ReplyDeleteI too think the pale blue is cooling. I am working up a list of blue flowers and their bloom times. Trying to find a butterfly who likes them too! I would like to do an all blue native garden.
Goodbye lawn.....
