I do love the color on the blooms of Neon much more than the ones on my even older Autumn Joys. Neon has been in my garden for close to 20 years. Hard to remember exactly how long. Bees and small butterflies love Sedum. Neon is always covered in pollinators when it blooms.

I found this plant by accident when we stopped at a restaurant a few years back. The entry walk was landscaped with various ornamental plants which included these “miniature” pepper plants with fully mature crimson red fruits. Some had dropped from the plants and were scattered along the walk. I retrieved about three or four of the ripened pods and planted the seeds in containers for inside winter growth.

To make a long story short, I successfully raised two plants over winter, saving the seeds for spring planting outdoors. This year I have seven plants from seed, and the fruits are still in the green/yellow stage of development. I am hoping for full maturity before a killing frost occurs.

These peppers are extremely pungent with a “Scoville” rating of 50,000-100,000. I don’t know exactly what this rating consists of, or how it is measured, but I can personally say they are super-hot. Just to handle them requires caution, washing of hands and/or protective gloves. As an ornamental plant they are very attractive: We will overwinter at least one plant inside this season for seed-saving.

I decided I just had to have Lovely Senorita when I kept seeing pictures of it in other people's gardens. So I bought mine from Schreiner's Iris Gardens. I am happy to say that Lovely Senorita is as beautiful as I expected her to be.

Will Goodwin is probably the most beautiful clematis that I grow. The shade of lilac on the flowers is impossible to describe. You just have to see it for yourself. Plus, the flowers are nice and large.

Amber Finale is a beautiful golden-yellow late-blooming daylily hybridized by Long Island, New York, hybridizer Isobel Hibbard. I have many Hibbard introductions in my garden, all of them late, very late or extra late blooming.

Apricot Afterglow is one of my favorite late-blooming daylilies hybridized by Long Island, New York, hybridizer Isobel Hibbard. She is known for her late-blooming daylilies, but most of her introductions have simpler flower forms. Apricot Afterglow is one of her best and truly a lovely flower.

This is another of my late-blooming daylilies hybridized by Long Island, New York, hybridizer Isobel Hibbard. She is known for her late blooming daylilies. Most of her introductions have simpler flower forms, but Exit Strategy never fails to impress with its large bold flowers.

Now here is a daylily that truly should always be in a large clump. Beautifully large flowers capture your attention as soon as you see them.

Hyperion Elite may be a simple flower and an older introduction that has been around for many years, but it is a stunner in the garden, probably because of its simplicity, but also because of the large flowers.

Better Late Than Never is one of the Murphy daylily introductions that I added to my garden when I was looking for late and extra late blooming daylilies. A striking red bold color!

Bold Witness is one of more than 40 daylilies growing in my garden that were hybridized by northern hybridizer Phil Korth. It is a large flower that has so much garden presence. I received Bold Witness as a bonus plant from Phil Korth and I am glad I have it.

I love hot colored daylilies and Bob Marley certainly fits the bill with the stunning orange flowers on tall scapes. This one I always notice across the garden.

I have had Russian Easter for many years now. It blooms faithfully each summer up in the top section of my terraces garden. Pictures don't do this flower justice. It is so pretty in person.

I needed to add late and extra late bloomers to extend my daylily season. Up Against the Sun blooms early late season. Stunning golden yellow flowers on tall scapes. I love this flower. It is so pretty.

I bought Pinhill Claret Symphony because I wanted to add late and extra late bloomers to extend my daylily season. The tall scapes with lovely red purple flowers bloom early-late season.

Such a beautiful bloom. It is a pink blend with a cascade form. I bought Cherry Cream Pie because I wanted to add late and extra-late bloomers to extend my daylily season.

I bought Morning Calm trumpet vine as a small mail order seedling years ago. For years it really did not do much of anything. This year, however, it took off growing and bloomed for the very first time. The flowers are very beautiful.
