Hemerocallis, variety unknown. The story behind this daylily is that in the 1980's when I was a young first time home owner, this is the plant that started my gardening passion. It was actually the one and only plant on the property. At the time, I thought there was no bloom more beautiful. Call me sentimental, but through countless moves over the years I have always dug this daylily up and taken it with me.

Astilbe "Deutschland"

Echinacea "Magnus" ~ Purple coneflower. This is an early bloom.

I know this as some type of wood Anemone, variety unknown. It is difficult to see in the tangle of Columbine stalks, Vinca vine and leaves of the Siberia Iris. A closer view.


This is the second bloom for the Clematis Jackmanni Superba. The blooms are not near as vibrant or as big as the initial blooms. The right side of the plant has about four foot of new growth since late May which I have had to tie up to support.


Hemerocallis "Happy Returns"

Veronica Speedwell. I had transplanted this so it was not very showy this year.

We have had so much rain this past three weeks that I have 100's of this fungi growing underneath the trees. Mushroom, toadstool, who knows, but I like the detail in the pictures.

So many flowers Cathy. You must have a lot of gardens! Do the Pugs try to eat the mushrooms? I have to go out and try to pick them so Winston won't get them. They don't agree with his digestive track ; )

I don't blame you for being sentimental about yout lily. It's a wonderful color and when it blooms, i know it says 'home'to you. The astilbe is a keeper. I like the white.The wood anemone has such a pretty little flower and shows up well aginst the green. Thanks for the great pictures.
