Cat's blog: Where To Start!

Posted on Jul 6, 2014 9:59 PM

Wow, I'm not sure where to start! I feel like it has been a while since I have posted an update. Not purposefully, just there has been so much to do! Quit a few of the daylilies have been blooming, more than I expected really.

I know, I almost forgot they were my photos for a minute, lol. That last one was supposed to be Lake Norman Spider, which it obviously is not! I contacted the Lily Auction seller and it was a mix up. :/ She offered a replacement (as the one I thought I purchased is all gone) or a refund. I was just relieved it was not my mix up. I used the plastic knife under the plant system as a back up for lost garden signs. I tried to be extra careful while planting as not to get any cultivars mixed up. Turns out it's Flamboyant Eyes. I do like the eye pattern on it. I took a refund at this point.

I have a few lily plants that have seed pods! I am getting really excited and hopeful about getting seeds. With any luck there will at least be a few.

One Iris that may have seeds, it has a seed pod but it is still a little iffy.

This shade bed is starting to take off now that the Caladium bulbs have started growing.

The daylily beds are also coming along nicely now that things are starting to grow and bloom. Not to wish time by but can't wait until this time next year!

Trying to collect (and dab) all the daylily pollen I can. Working on a pollen experiment with a couple of other ladies we hope to share in the near future.

So, as I said it has been busy here and I still have a few things to plant (like the hosta bed I am still planing on doing) and that daylily bed that was made bigger a couple of weeks ago still needs mulched. I was able to get a couple of real cool insect pictures. The butterfly looks like a bird took a bite out of it's wings. :(
