A Gallery of Daylilies from our garden

Anzac Daylily

 Little Grapette, we have these all over the place..

Mary Todd, a pretty little yellow daylily, we also have Stella D oro and Hello Yellow, tiny little yellow golden daylillies but they weren't open.




Several purples, some of the are Prarie blue eyes above and grapette the smaller ones.  Several of the following ones I do not have names for.. maybe someone online can fill me in.


 I believe these are bright sunset..




and possibly Carolyn Croswell below..



think the ones below are Chicago Arnies choice..






but this one is closest to the photograph so the ones above might be something else??


I believe this one may be El Desperado, but I'm not sure..


And  this one is likely Frans Hall..



Not sure about this one..has strong brushstrokes..I have misplaced some of my information.\ 
 This one is likely Freedom Ring..

 And I'm fairly sure the two below are Imperial Lemon..

 Most likely Little Grapette..I have a lot of these. I also have Happy Valentine but they weren't in bloom, I'll try to add them and some others that weren't in bloom at a later time.

Prairie Blue eyes..and little grapette..




Ruffled ambition....


Sweet Liberty daylilies




Siloam Virginia Hensen..


Happy  Valentine daylily




Fairy tale pink daylily


There are several Daylillies that I have planted that  either aren't blooming or I have not properly identified, I know I have also planted the following: Purple D oro, which did bloom earlier and might again, Spellbinder, Black eyed susan, Bright sunset, Christmas Carol, Custard Candy, Daring Deception, Ice Carnival, Joan Senior ,Mardi Gras Parade, My ways, Siloam Merle Kent, Sweet Liberty, Pardon Me, Green Flutter, Happy Returns, Siloam doodlebug, Matues and Fires of Fuji.... maybe some of them will bloom yet this year and I can get photographs of them later.

Baby fruits, July 22 2019



Well my little Moonglow pear is loaded with baby pears this year, this is it's 3rd year of having pears but last few years only a few pears made it to maturity. This pear tree is right next to our front handicap ramp so I can just reach up and pick them when they are read (took this photo from standing on the ramp)

Here is a photo of a few of our baby plums on the plum tree that is right next to the front ramp as well,but this one I can stand right on the top by the top of the steps to pick these when they are ripe. This was also loaded but some pesky furry critters have been helping themselves to the unripe fruit.
When these are ripe they are pretty little red globes, they are lovely sweet and are freestone.

So looking forward to the fruits to ripen next month. Also have had cherries but they are done, have apples and hazelnuts ripening and am picking black and red raspberries right now too.

Trees down in storm..July 2019


This one is hung up above my head and large, this won't be getting cut up anytime soon, as I can't reach it. I'll work on it when I can get to it.




This tree is hung up on BOTH ends, fun. At least it isn't over any pathways to where it will hurt anyone when it falls down.


This one is thankfully down on the ground and smaller, so I'll be able to cut this one up completely yet this summer. It is across 3 of my paths, quite a tall tree.

There were a lot of smaller trees down but not where they presented any problem for me. Glad I have a good chainsaw that I can handle and a trailer for my riding lawnmower to haul with.

4th of July 2019

Well Joel bought the three of us a new to us used car. Had a few glitches, as we had to replace the brakes, they were a mess, wierd fluid in them. But it is up and runnng now and I'll drive it for the first time since it's working properly this weekend. Had a leak in the sunroof but was probably twigs caught in the seal and pouring rain, hopefully that was all.

My Roses have been blooming for a while but the clematis are just starting. The little blue bells are hard to see in the photo. Here are more clematis on the other side of the steps.



There are lots more roses and flowers blooming now and the fruit is forming on the fruit trees and berries. I've frozen lots of strawberries, the blueberries and raspberries aren't quite ripe yet. The grapes are really loaded with fruit buds, summer is on. 

Happy Fourth of July !
