A Few Tropicals in bloom today. :)
« on: August 16, 2009, 05:36:21 PM »
Hi all, its been hot and the plants love it. had a little catastrophe yesterday when one of the neighbors black labs jumped into the pond and trashed some plants. of course the owner said that is was not his dog, could have been another black lab. gotta love the big city folks who come to the country to let their dogs run free.

Ok the first is the wonderful N. Charlies Pride. its the most red lily that i have ever seen. its really hard to photograoph and get the correct color.



Closer of Charlies Pride.



Wonderful first day of N. Lynn Ellen.



And my own - N. Silver Moon, first and third day blooms.



Louis

People who let their dogs run suck no matter where they live. Love Silver Moon.

I'm happy to hear you finally got some nice weather. The lilies are all gorgeous. I do really like  the red Charlie's Choice. I missed seeing your photos this year. How is Rasberry Sorbet? I sill think it's very pretty too.

With those beauties and such a short growing season, how do you overwinter?

Louis,

They are all wonderful!  I would be proud to have any of them!

Sorry about the neighbors dogs, I never did understand why people allow their pets to roam free.  Mine love to get out of their fenced in are and play and fetch, but only when we are out and we keep them near.  I would hate to see one of my pets get run over or who knows what.
