BLOOMTOWN

Simple Red Daylily Backlit

The sun will return, I promise. Until then, here's a scene from my garden taken one evening last week after a lovely sunny day; a single red daylily collecting the days' last rays. 

For those inclined to ask ... it's a pretty standard daylily called Hemerocallis 'Garnet.'

Window Box Planting Bloomtown July 2011

I couldn't be more pleased with how my window box planting is developing this year. Screaming orange begonias brighten my spirits and my dining patio. This simple combination includes vivid orange begonias, copper-toned coleus, drippy-drapey cream-variegated creeping charlie vine and frothy green foxtail asparagus fern.
