My "Great White North"
Sheriff Roland:
Managed to 'post a lot' today without showing a single 'new' plant - well ...
I'm keepin some back ;D
This yellow trumpet lily (photo taken last evening) is growing in among the variegated grass on the south side a the steps. They'll have to be moved for next year, cause I believe the grass is suffocatin this plant (at the root level)
It's a little stained ... waited too long to tie it up and photograph it, but still looks nice.
Sheriff Roland:
Close up of the bee balm
injest:
that bee balm DOES look like an alien plant! :laugh:
is pretty though!
Sheriff Roland:
Lilies are great - each bloom can stay for 3 to 5 days before withering, depending on how hot it is, and you can get some 13 to 15 blooms, though most a the time, 5 is normal.
daylilies can last longer in that there are more blooms. The more common varieties produce petals that are nearly as narrow as lilies, but I've found that most a the daylilies I've gotted from Bill have been larger than the average lily. Now today's golden daylily was HUGE. Gotta have been twice the size a the larger daylilies I've posted so far. We're talking 7 to 8 inches across - think sunflower size.
and there are a dozen blooms yet to open on this plant! (photo was taken during evening - cloudy light)
Sheriff Roland:
It may look to be considerably larger than the other yellow daylily, but, I compared the two today, and the other one seems exactly the same as this massively large daylily. Here's another view of the gigantic daylily, taken from a diff'rent angle. The sky was quite amazing last night too!
