Bee
Blooms
Butterfly

These are two of the four varieties of Day Lilies in bloom -
Since I have no 'proper name' for them -
The Yellow one is being called: Gold Dust Lily
The Red with yellow throat is: Red With Marguerite back-up dancers -

Oh, the feast for the bee and the Skipper butterfly is Korean Spice Viburnum -

If no names are found for beauties in the Garden of Surprises -
They shall be named by She-Who-Talks-To-Them ~

Gardening can be tough, but it does have lighter moments (especially when one buzzes back at the bees)

are a Canvas for re-blooming Red Day Lily -
all the Day Lilies had finished, but 'Red' took a break -
and started again -
have been messing around with trying to get them to re-bloom -
the planets must have been lined up !
Chives still blooming and growing to add to salads -
Only one Skipper on a very hot day -

Did see an Eastern Towhee (m) this morn -
but photos taken through the window (as he moved will just go in my file) -
But, yesterday -
As I stepped out the door (will not post yet) -
Realize some do not like Black Racers as I do -

A beauty .. honest -
And about 4 ft long -
So glad to have one in the yard -
Cause if there is one, there are more -
No, it doesn't take much to excite me -

Might put it up as a note pic later -
Haven't decided -

2 June 2016 ..
2 June 2017 ..

Winsome Lady became either the 1st DayLily to visit
Or
The 2nd ..
All depends on viewpoints ..

There are all sorts of criteria that a Day Lily must meet ..
Per those souls who take this very seriously ..
You know -- the Chapters / the Groups / the people who live and breathe the 'background' ..
Hybrids
Fulver ..
Yes- it gets very confusing ..
In my World, if it looks like a Day Lily ..
It is a Day Lily ..
(though I was told / informed by some group that is very serious) ..

The orange Day Lily ( that I've taken bunches of photo of) ..
''They do not meet the standards of a 'true Day Lily' " ..

They are also called Ditch Lily ..
Personally, I don't care ..

But,when I told 'them that', they were not amused ..

Oh, well ... that is Life..

Our Garden of Surprises ( if you don't know why I call it that ) ..
We moved back to North Carolina after many years living in Florida ..
N.C. is home ....
Even though the home we bought had manuals of all that had been done (even blueprints) over the years ..
Not one thing about the Garden ..
So, for the 1st year I photo-documented everything ... weeds and all ..
From then on, I have enjoyed 'playing in the dirt' ..
And I love to name plants .. oh do I ever !

Peggy C has posted:

next to the drive are three Dogwood trees -
white, pink and a red -
this area has been named ''The Dogwood Patch'' -

(so I won't say 'oh, that is the Garden of Surprises' -)

otherwise known as the '' Butterfly Magnet '' -
since False Sunflowers (all the way from Oklahoma) were planted in this area -
Zinnias were gifted last year and grew like mad (they also self-seed) -
Cosmos of orange and of yellow were also seed gifts from the Gardener Down the Road -

this Day Lily was a resident - she is a Tawney Lily
know not what roads she wandered to get here -
but, last year she looked different -
got to do some research on 2016 photos -

but, Spiderwort -
grows and do really think it followed me from Florida, Dick !
expect Lantana to show up one day (or as I called it Florida) ..

I just call them marvelous Day Lilies -

The Explorers ...

nobody@ipernity.com (Peggy C) — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 21:31:55 +0000

Peggy C has posted:

Once a upon a time -
There were 3 Explorers - [ aka 'The Saxapahaw Three' ]
All had found each other through -
Ipernity Photo-sharing -
Imagine that -
One came from the UK (but lived in the middle of a vast land called Oklahoma) -
Another came from far away, but lived not too far down the road in North Carolina -
The 3rd one -
Well, she lived up the road from the soon-to-meet friend in North Carolina -

What an interesting thing -
'Oklahoma' .. some of my friends called her that -
And I met at the Airport (my spouse asked "will y'all have enough to talk about?")
Oh, yes he was serious -
And we haven't run out of things to talk about even if we speak in silence -

Each Day Lily represents one of these Souls -
All are beautiful -
Treasured -
Oh, there is no way to explain how much -

We traveled to Saxapahaw -
Had lunch in a 5-Star Gas Station / General Store -
Which was better at Lunch -
The Food or the People we met -
We sat with the Man Who Walks the Haw -
Have his business card safely tucked away -
Just in case -

If y'all think I'm kidding about the General Store .. 5 Stars .. well, check this ...

and all that -
this red Day Lily deserves a special name -
so, today -
she is JAZZ -
her red petals do look like velvet -
with a PoP of yellow -
she probably sings when I'm not outside -

Tawny Lily 2018

nobody@ipernity.com (Peggy C) — Fri, 25 May 2018 15:09:58 +0000

Peggy C has posted:

Here she comes

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemerocallis_fulva

'Tawny' is open for our viewing pleasure ..

Known in some areas as a Ditch Lily since she isn't fussy where she is ..

A 'true-died-in-the-wool' day lily person usually lets you know in a heart beat -- That is not a day lily !

Honest ... I have been told that on some gardening sites that it is invasive and so on ..

If somebody wants to bloom in my Garden of Surprises ..
Can't give a hoot if she has 'papers' or a pedigree !

I say -- Bloom on, My Dear !
Bloom On ~
(but if you start crowding out somebody else, you will have to decide which of you would like a transfer to another home .. would never get rid of all .. not possible)

Oh, and keep an eye open for the Deer .. so far .. so good !
