The twin stephanotis vines reaching to hold hands above the front picture window are late to bloom this year- defining better late than never. If the Jehovah's Witness ladies only knew- they would deliver their pamphlets at dusk- when the bridal bouquet favorite begins to scent the air.

| Daylily 'South Seas' Daylily 'South Seas' is the most vibrant hued daylily in my collection. Picked up at the Kellogg Ranch Cal Poly Farm Store last year- one more year of sturdiness ought to create some blooming magic as her tangerine blossoms are set off by a backdrop of purple wands of blooming Mexican Sage. In the backyard-  |

The patch of strawberries have yielded two bowls of fruit in just this week.
There is more to share. Please come back to see!

Lydia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot of that young, healthy coyote.
Your coyotes are probably a lot like my deer. I want them to pose long enough for a picture, then scram for good.
Your South Seas daylily with Mexican sage is a fabulous combination!

Evelyn is definitely a diva! But it looks like you're treating her right because she's blooming beautifully! Wonderful things blooming in your world :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, Joan! I want the coyotes to take the gophers and GO!
ReplyDeleteNikki - I'm behind on my reading- I NEED to get to your blog tomorrow. When I don't see your images, the week doesn't seem finished!
Everything looks so Lush and Beautiful, Lydia....'Evelyn"....WOW! And everything else, too....And those Tomato's....FABULOUS! And The Strawberry's---YUMMMMMMM! You have the Green Thumb filled with Love, my dear....!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty are your roses...wish I had strawberries like yours!
ReplyDeleteLydia,
ReplyDeleteHow great! Beautiful flowers to grace your garden and inside your home. I am so jealous of your beautiful tomatoes! Ours just aren't growing! Strawberries too! Terrific!
Hugs, Trisha
Good morning OOLH and Classic- Strawberries are under-utilized as a groundcover. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Trisha! Don't give up on the tomatoes- the crops are late this year. The bonus is- with patience and God's grace- we just might be enjoying fresh tomatoes between Halloween and Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean I don't think I got room for another rose like 'Evelyn', I know I don't. But I'm going to scour the countryside to find an 'Evelyn' for this fall and then scour every inch of my property and maybe even some of the neighbor's too, a foot or two....:-) just to have a look at that beauty when it blooms and I hope it looks just like yours. By the way, thanks for your nice thoughts and good wishes today, I appreciate it.....
ReplyDeleteHey, Paul! Your wife is going to love 'Evelyn' of Crabree and Evelyn fame.
