By Marilyn on Sep 8, 2013 10:53 PM, concerning plant: Blue Sage (Salvia azurea 'Nekan')

As late summer to early fall nears, I always look forward to seeing the gorgeous blue flowers blooming! The butterflies love these flowers! I love to see them on the flowers too! It's a joy to see and warms my heart! It reseeds somewhat, as I'll notice new plants coming up around the "mother plant." They're easy to pull up and discard if desired.

A good hardy Salvia!

The hummingbirds love 'Mulberry Jam'! I'm excited as I look out of our kitchen window or patio door and see hummingbirds working all the flowers to get to the nectar. The beautiful flowers are fuzzy and just seem to keep blooming! The flowers are a deeper color than I could capture in my pics. I love this Salvia!

The flowers are beautiful and colorful and they always entice the hummingbirds! They even pass up other hummingbird-attracting flowers for these flowers! I love this plant and its flowers!

I've a double-stacked tomato cage for the hummingbirds to sit and rest. They love to perch, look around, and guard their flowers!

Porterweed, its common name, is easy to grow and love! Wish it was available locally.

Aaron Brown might be my favorite Don Herr daylily introduction. Everyone that sees this flower loves it and that definitely includes me! Striking.

By Newyorkrita on Sep 8, 2013 5:23 PM, concerning plant: Lilies (Lilium)

Lilies come in such a variety of colors and bloom times. I feel everyone should have lilies in their garden for summer color. In addition, it's easier to find room for lilies in the perennial garden because they usually are taller and skinnier plants.

Daylily Roger Herr has an exceptional track record in my garden. Well branched scapes routinely have up to 40 flowers per scape. Truly a blooming champion for me.

Philistine Champion is one of more than 40 daylilies growing in my garden that were hybridized by northern hybridizer Phil Korth. A large flower that has so much garden presence. You just can't miss Philistine Champion blooming in the garden.

Ruby Shadows is one of the over 40 daylilies growing in my garden that were hybridized by northern hybridizer Phil Korth. A pretty flower that is a no fuss garden plant.

I can not imagine my garden without daylilies. They are the stars and the backbone of my summer garden. Colors and flower forms to suit everyone's taste.

By Newyorkrita on Sep 8, 2013 4:06 PM, concerning plant: Double Late Tulip (Tulipa 'Uncle Tom')

Uncle Tom is a stunning bloom, so full that it looks like an old fashioned rose or a very fancy peony. To top it off, Uncle Tom has a rich and vibrant deep red-purple coloring. Simply a stunning tulip.

Dancing with Sandra is an exceptionally lovely Dale Thomas introduction. He is known for his late bloomers and Dancing with Sandra usually starts out the show in my late bloomers row.

Little Man Tait blooms nicely but the flowers are really small. Good thing those flowers are pretty! A good garden plant. No muss, no fuss. And Little Man Tait increases nicely.

Green Rainbow has a smaller flower, but it packs a big punch. The coloring and pattern are so unusual. There is nothing else like it, at least not in my garden!

By Newyorkrita on Sep 8, 2013 3:22 PM, concerning plant: Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Saratoga Springtime')

I can rely on Saratoga Springtime to put on a lovely show each spring. It is an early season bloomer, which I appreciate because it is difficult to find pretty daylily blooms for the start of the season. It's a no-fuss great garden plant that increases nicely.

Lava Flow is a poor bloomer in my garden. Each year it sends up scapes with 4 to 6 buds each. Never have I had more than 6, but it stays in my garden because of those stunning flowers.

Years ago I never used to like the open daylily flower forms, but my taste has changed. I find Early Alibi to be a nice flower, especially for the early bloom season, when it is often difficult to find colors other than plain yellows or golds.

I received Early Shirley as a bonus plant when I ordered daylilies from Judy Davisson. This lovely Davisson introduction blooms in tall scapes with pretty purple flowers.

Each year those first few blooms of Siloam Double Classic bloom as singles. After that it seems to get itself together and continues with the rest of the blooms as doubles, which they should be. Whether it's producing single or double blooms, Siloam Double Classic is a lovely daylily.

I bought Russian Ragtime from Maryott's years ago and it has been blooming faithfully in my garden ever since. I have even moved it around. No problem. It doesn't skip a beat. Just keeps right on blooming.
