Just enjoy the pictures, more of the same

Oriential Lilies

The Oriential Lilies are finally blooming.  You can not believe the size of each of these blooms.  I bet they are more than 9" across.  To see these in bloom takes your breath away!

Mr. Lucky daylily

Can you say hello to Mr. Lucky?   Diane bought this variety because she has a cat she rescued off the street about 5 years ago and she called him Lucky.  And lucky he was to find this family.  He has needed to go on thryoid medicine, has had all of his teeth (except for a couple) pulled due to dental disease.  He needs to see the vet every 4 months for regular checkups.  The vet has estimated his age at at least 18 years old.  He is on his last leg of life as of now.  Diane gave him the best life he possibly could have had.  He is pictured below at around the time he was rescued from the street.


Sunflowers blooming

Sunflowers growing in the garden, not mine or Diane's, but  one of the other gardens.  This must be 15 feet tall!  The little birds love the sunflowers.
