Wow great selection.
Was hoping to get some yard work done today. But even rainy days make for nice pictures.
Everything looks really great!

Love those water drops on the petals!
My plants are doing so well. I'm so happy! I can't believe it is the almost Labor Day. The end is near! I still have a few small lilies that I got late in the season and I'm hoping they'll grow enough to give me tubers for next year, and maybe at least a few flowers this year.
Oooh i like.
I was happy too see the hollyhocks that I started from seed this year flowered. These seeds were sent to me from Kat as a lovely bonus. I tortured the seedlings a little bit and then didn't get them into the ground until July because of some work we were doing. Plus, the location is a bit dry, but it was the best I had at the time, and they're growing and flowering. I'm pretty pleased. Bees are happy too.
I saved all the tubers from my tropical lilies I could last fall and started them up a month or so back in my garage in a small tub under a single grow light with an aquarium heater. Grew lots of algae, but also the lilies. Just moved them outside to a stock tub. For such a cool spring I'm pretty pleased that I have what I have. I didn't start any of my night bloomers. My experience with them is that they are very slow to get going when it's cool but then take off when it warms up, so I'm taking a gamble I'll have enough time and energy to get them going later if I want (and still have enough room).
