Things are just blooming nonstop around here! First it was the peonies doing their thing:
I dug these up from our old house in town. I dug up everything I could get my hands on from that place as we lost it to the bank and I wasn't about to share my bounty with them! I have one pink and 5 or 6 white ones in the south house shade garden. I also have several I planted at our gate, but the soil is super rocky over there and they have never done well. I will probably be moving those sometime this fall.
Also blooming is this flower I got from my aunt. I can't remember the name of it right now!!! It even has a tag, but the writing has weathered away. Can anyone help? They are in my south driveway shade garden. I actually have two clumps, but one is much smaller and doesn't bloom as much. They may actually need moved as well.
This is my spiderwort! It is not the native kind found here in Missouri. This is a variety I bought from a greenhouse a few years ago. Since it isn't native, and I never find the good stuff anywhere I hike, I will not be doing a Native Ozark Wildflower post on it. Enjoy regardless! These are in the south driveway sun garden.
Here is another I lost the original tag for and can't read the one I made anymore. It's very tiny. The flower stalks are thinner than my pinky and about 18" tall. These are in the south driveway shade garden.
Last but not least are the Bear's double Asiatic lilies! Aren't they awesome?! She got them 3 years ago as a Valentine gift and we planted them in the south driveway sun garden. They've done amazingly every year. Never a disappointment.
All of these flowers have bloomed over the last month. The peonies have since finished and now the Asiatic Dayflowers are replacing them with their tiny, true blue flowers. The others are still going strong and soon I will have a BUNCH of lilies to share with you all. I planted like 3 bags of them two or three years ago. Each bag probably had between 6 and 10 bulbs. That is a lot of lilies, especially if you've never grown them before. Haha!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed the blooms!
