Daylily elimination. I was overwhelmed by all the unwanted daylilies that popped up this spring, but it turns out that every daylily is not the same old, boring flower, and my job as master gardener is to select the prettiest and eliminate the rest. What do you think?
Varying shades of pink, all of which could look really nice surrounded by the right flowers; we'll have to see how the new plants I choose look with them. These bright orange-red ones, however, make everything look beautiful-- even the boring tangerine daylilies that live next to the air conditioner with them!
Too bad the tangerine ones are crowding the a/c! They'll probably have to be eliminated. :(There's also a bunch of new friends popping up that are beautiful, and now that the siding is done, I can start seriously planning and planting new ones alongside them! I'm thinking lavender, delphiniums, coreopsis...
And check out the back yard... Mike is digging up all the grass to turn it into a real little garden!
The next big project will be the perennial garden out front (just flowers or a mix with some landscape-y bushes?) and the front shade garden (Solomon's seal, hostas, astilbe, and who knows what else!)
Do you think my first real paycheck will cover all of that?!
Beautiful flowers. You can send the tangerine ones to me, if they must be eliminated! :)
ReplyDeleteAll the lilies are very pretty, how can you choose? Maybe just move them around. Like Rick, if you ditch any, share the bulbs!!
