These Asiatic lilies are emerging again in our flower beds. This is the second season for these bulbs to emerge. We split some lilies from our front yard and replanted those bulbs. These images are the result of those replanted bulbs. The lily in the header image emerged today.
Seems like it has been a while since the bulbs popped out of the ground. (It was actually March 18th when the first sign of the green showed up.)
Flower/pollination
Flower petals still hanging on the bottom
More possible starts here in addition to the two already growing
A little further along (yes it rained last night)
These two look like they are going to make it
These were the first two that showed up
This year we bought two plants instead of growing from seeds. The last photo is from a different plant from the other images. The header at the top of the page is actually of a “volunteer” plant that just showed up in the backyard. It seems to be doing well and will soon earn the right to have its own tomato cage.
This rose has a hitchhiker on one of its petals. What looks like a small bee is actually a hoverfly. No, it is not a sweat bee, although many call it that. Hoverflies only have two wings. (Bees have four wings) It does like sweat on humans, and is also a great pollinator.
The amazing progress of flowers as they grow and bloom
More blooms to come
More buds showing in background
Two and four days ago we posted photos of one of our Asiatic Lilies and a rose bud just beginning to bloom. Today both plants displayed some great progress in the blooming arts, adding even more color to our backyard flower and herb garden.
Rainy day but a pretty rose.
Looking like lavender. Such a deep, rich and royal color!
One of two store bought plants we planted. Maybe we’ll get some good tomatoes 🍅🍅😀
