favorite

 these daylilys are CG's favorite 

(and he still doesn't know what kind they are)

 they were marked as Joan Seniors

(and they bloom the same time)

elsewhere...

lots of cannas didn't survive the extreme cold snap,

but there's still enough left of each variety-

so soon there will be plenty

 the dwarf burning bush bed and the back corner bed are looking good

but the forsythia bed  has a long way to go

Hemerocallis, et al

Currently, the daylilys have center stage in the garden.

Temperatures are consistently in the 90's, so much of the tending is done prior to 8am.

(some extra time can be spent in the splendid AC'd comfort of  CG's abode editing photos)

-farewell to the PD's...

and green thumbs are crossed that CG will be able to locate all of them when September comes!
