Honest to Betsy this has been one of the most frustrating growing seasons I've dealt with in the past few years. We had a wet, cool spring despite predictions. Then the weather turned hot and dry to the point the local farmers are begging for rain. We sure could use a few days of just a nice, gentle down pour! a couple of days ago I looked out to see a bit of yellow. Well in the heat of the dryness I figured it was a weed so didn't hurry out to investigate but when I did look what I found!
Peeping up through the slope that we haven't ripped out yet were two gorgeous Stella D'or lilies. I have not been watering this garden as it is slated for a rip-out so pretty much it is on its own. Except now that I seen these gorgeous blooms I'm going to water if need be and mark where the plants are that I want to transplant.
I've had Stella d'Or is two gardens now. They really are good performers almost thriving on neglect and yet still putting on a good show. Don't you think they are gorgeous? What a nice surprise in the heat of a dry summer!
Happy Gardening!

Looks like they definitely like your dry weather. But I do hope you get some rain. :)
ReplyDeleteFinally got a good rain last night. I expect the gardens to start popping again shortly. Rain forcasted for later this afternoon too. Yipee.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda :) We finally got a little rain last night. Here's hoping for more. A good soaker rain would really be welcomed!
