In my very dry area, where our dry spells run for over 4 months and reach triple-digit heat, this plant loves to get daily watering, or at least some daily misting. I grow it in part shade. Otherwise, the leaves will burn. Sometimes I get the pinkish hue on leaves, or often just the cream or white and green color on the leaves. Not getting any blooms yet, just lengthening of the vine and some new leaves.

Lotus Position is a lovely bloom when it is clear, but the blooms are often splotchy, especially the first few, earliest blooms. It does have nice tall scapes, so the flowers are easily noticed.

Barney is a favorite daylily of mine, blooming here in my terrace garden directly near my kitchen door. That way I can see it all the time. Barney is supposed to rebloom, but unfortunately has never rebloomed for me.

The summer squashes I am growing in my garden include green zucchini and yellow summer squash. The plants look similar, but the fruits of the zucchini and yellow squash taste different, although either can be used in any recipe calling for zucchini.

that's a little bit difficult.....

the original S. 'Atroviolaceum Heimlich' should be a S. tetcorum-cultivar; but the shown plant isn't one; but there is another one in the collections which shows the real S. tectorum 'Atroviolaceum Heimlich';

because this one on the photos here is in many collections and it looks really nice we (in germany) decided to give it the name S. 'Atroviolaceum Heimlich 2' without the label tectorum and without breeder-informations (we don't know who create it);

all the photos here show this S. 'Atroviolaceum Heimlich 2'

the info also sold as: 'Atroviolaceum Secretly 2' is wrong because the word "Secretly" is only a translation of the word "Heimlich" - but this word comes from the breeder; Mina Colvin create it at the "Nursery Heimlich" in Woburn/Massachusetts/USA;

that's all we found out from germany.....if someone has other or further information please let me know;

Years ago, I used to grow 'Bermuda Coral' and loved it! I loved the fact that it was a late variety. I can't remember now whether it bloomed late or very late, but it's registered as a very late Daylily.

I intentionally looked for late-blooming Daylilies that were truly late in my Hebron, KY garden and this was one of them.

I was happy growing it for the time I had it. It was a beautiful flower!

'Paris' just keeps blooming and will keep on blooming if the faded flower stalks are deadheaded. Its flowers are a pretty rosy-pink color and create a stunning combo with the leaves. I have several plants of it that get morning sun and afternoon shade. It grows well and always looks good. I love it!

A winner of a Heuchera!

Of all the Heucheras I've grown, 'Caramel' is the most reliable. I can count on it 365 days of the year! Year after year!

Looks good in my Zone 6 hot and humid summers. Looks good in my sometimes humid spring and fall. Looks good in my cold and frost/thaw winters.

It grows well every day of the year. I have 3 one-gallon plants of 'Caramel' that get morning sun and afternoon shade.

I've been very happy with this variety!

Hello Heartstrings is another Paul Owen introduction that grows in my garden. This year the flowers suffered from the excessive heat we had. That is, the blooms were much paler than they had been previous years.

I have Sweet Isabela planted here in my terrace raised bed, which is close to my kitchen door, so that I can easily see her flowers each time I go outside.

Screaming Queen is a Paul Owen introduction, so blame him if you don't like the name. I think Screaming Queen was named this way because there is nothing soft and quiet about this bloom. The color is bold and beautiful.

Samuel Bell is such a pretty bloom. Scapes are somewhat short, but still way above the foliage. I feel that it looks much better in person than in pictures. The bloom really is stunning.

Doc Webster is my favorite yellow daylily. Big butter-yellow bright blooms on nice tall scapes. I can see it blooming across the garden and always notice it immediately. Some years Doc Webster reblooms, but not always.

this plant is not a cultivar but a natural hybrid; the cultivar-name has to be deleted;

earlier the correct name was S. x angustifolium; later it was subordinated to S. x fauconnetii;

so the actual name has to be S. x fauconnetii (x angustifolium) and the parents are S. arachnoideum x S. tectorum;

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.

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.
