Ordinarily with a title like that, y'all might be expecting wildflower pictures from a road trip. Sadly, not this month. But! I have flowers in the yard that I am delighted to put up.
This was last year's Easter lily bulb, which lived over summer, making beautiful buds about a week ago.
Today it commenced to open flowers! By late afternoon it had this one fully open.
And this beauty is one of the day lilies that was brought over from the old house. She's an evergreen variety and these flowers are reliable, even though they're not all summer long. Where we live many of the famous, trendy day lilies don't do well because they're deciduous--that is, they love their leaves and go fully dormant in the fall. We don't have the cold weather for that. I actually crawled all over the web finding some evergreen daylilies to plant.
There are also some hold over Asiatic lily bulbs, which look mostly like white ones, but their fat buds are not ready to open yet.
Soon!
