Wow only 25998 to go in my yard!

Maybe we should send some to Dave

And you would think I could grow just one or two that come back each year. Will keep trying. Have some on their way.

Opened the door to the wonderful fragrance of hyacinths this morning! They are supposed to be red but really look pink to me. Still all in all a great looking pot.

Legalily said:@Nhra_20 with regard to Daffodils, they have yellow ones, white ones, salmon colored ones, pink ones, white with yellow centers, white with orange centers, yellow with orange centers, short ones, tall ones, double ones, daffodils that smell good, daffodils that don't smell much . . . . .- kind of like Bubba Gump Shrimp

@Legalily when I read this I immediately thought of the song Spill the Wine by War.
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones. And yes to Bubba Gump too!

I decided to move the Elephant Yam Amorphophallus paeonifolius closer to the house. I always had it secluded so when it flowered visitors wouldn't run off screaming. When I dug the bulb up, I found I had planted it upside down all those years.

It certainly attracts attention now and looks a million dollars in this position. So big.

looks good now

Well they just cancelled by Palazzo, Spendid Joy and Mystery Dream because of crop failure So I substituted the following:

3 more Dahlian
3 more Tribal Dance
4 more Passion Moon

Also, went to a Lawn and Garden show in Des Moines yesterday and added these (Lily Society was selling them BOGO so all 4 for $6.00)
1-Spring Pink
1-Advantage (LF)
2-Sundew
And I thought I was done ordering

I planted my lilies. This is what I planted in pots on the patio. I only had three orientals on the patio last year and I made a note to plant more for this summer

.I always plant lilies early Spring. In my climate if I plant them in the fall I lose them because of our wet cold fall weather.

DISTANT DRUM ORIENTAL


'Bonbini' - Orienpet Lily Bulb


SALMON STAR ORIENTAL


AFRICAN QUEEN TRUMPET

Montebello

Some were up earlier:
Royal Sunset
Annemarie's Dream

No they stay in the pots. I started planting my patio pots with perennials a couple years ago. I buy very few annuals. I pull the pots close to the house and cover them with leaves. They are very big pots they are 4' tall and. 3' wide pots.

I have just about got this project complete with blooming from Spring starting with the Spring bulbs ending with blooming sedum in the Fall.

@Deebie from your lips to my nose. The fragrance is my wish. I plan to sit out there on the patio this summer and reflect and heal my soul.

I'm sure it's gorgeous. Will need picks as they bloom

Cinta, where did you find American Sensation? I love the American series of OTs but haven't seen them offered by many vendors.

Neal, I got several of the American series from GH Wild several years ago.

Neal, have you tried looking at S-W gardens?
