So my plan for next year:
More red lion amaryllis
St Joseph's lilies
other mixed amaryllis
MAYBE replace my oleander w/ double knockouts
@gemini_sage and others
I went back and looked at what I bought/planted last fall and discovered that I actually did plant some bearded iris that should be blooming about now. I guess they maybe need a little longer to get settled in? I'd forgotten about them because I had more recently bought some Louisiana and Siberian iris. I was looking in my beds and found ONE little bearded bloom but for some reason, it bloomed down in the follage and didn't make a stalk. But I'm definitely going to supplement the ones I have with some old heirlooms from my mother's garden.
Also, I think I felt a lot better about my beds once I got the mulch in them. I had put it off because I have so many more plants this year verses previous and I knew it was going to be a bear to work the mulch in around the daylilies. Plus, I've got to make sure I didn't stack it up around these bearded iris I just remembered I have, lol.
