Next time I will tell you all about an exotic potted plant I have that is blooming now, Lady of the Night.
Hibiscus, another favorite of mine. I have several, this is one I just added this spring. The folaige as you can see is tinted red, so it is pretty even when it is not blooming. Hibiscus is another easy care plant. It does like to be fed and likes more water than some plants. it will survive dry periods, it just won't bloom as nice. I have a beautiful large flowered white flowers, however it dose not get extra water and although it is still alive it is small and the flowers have also gotten very small. I think I will try and move it next spring, or maybe even this fall.

Mary's Gold, another new daylily. This one has huge blooms too, and like I said before daylilies are easy to care for and offer lots of color for the garden. I also planted a short daylily called little grapette, but it did not bloom this year, I will have to wait until next summer to see what it does.
Yesterday i went out and found my waterfall NOT working. The pump had come loose from the hose that returns water to the falls. It was churning muck inside the box it sits in. I had to clean out the box the pump sits in and clean the waterfall filter. Everything is working fine today and the water is nice and clear. Richard built my waterfall, it is also a filter and does a great job. I have pictures of each step he took to build it and I think i may give each step here and then add a page for it latter. I have been working in the garden more this year and have added some new plants. over the next few weeks I plan to highlight one new plant a week, check for something new every saturday.
The new plant in the picture above is a new daylily called "Primal Scream". It has very large flowers, up to 7 inches across. I love the color, it is very bright, you notice this flower from a long way off. daylilies are one of my favorites, they require no special care, yet reward you with masses of beautiful flowers. They come in many colors and some even rebloom. The flowers also are different shapes and sizes, tiny to huge. Foliage too can be short or tall. You can have a daylily for the front of a border or the back |
