Flowers

These are my favorite day lilies right now.  They are bright orange with a triple bloom.
Here is the blooming mother-in-law's tongue.  The flowers remind me of fireworks.  I hope this doesn't mean my plant is about to kick the bucket.  Sometimes plants put on a big show right before they die.

Late Spring


My hostas were late bloomers this spring.  I thought most of them had been eaten by the moles in our yard, but today I noticed 3 trying to peek out from under the leaves.  Now all of my hostas from last year have come back.

Have you ever seen a mother-in-law's tongue have a bloom?  Well, mine has one!  It looks a little like an unopened bloom on monkey grass only much larger.  I took some photos, but they wouldn't upload correctly.  I think this bloom is trying to keep its presence a secret.  I'm going to try to capture this elusive creature on camera again.
