“Lilium ‘Moonlight Strain’, Lime-Intensely Fragrant Yellow Trumpet signal the peak of the July Lily season.<\/span>

My test plot, corner, for the blue and yellow garden is proving fruitful. So many plants come in these colors, that the options seem endless, but I can tell now that next year, when I complete this garden, I will edit little, other than follow my notes to plant more of each variety, to that the display will be effective. One Nepeta is fine, 7 will be finer. The Daylily’s can be divided into more clumps, to create a larger display. I like to visit a local daylily nursery, and hand select the perfect color of yellow. I am partial to the greenish yellows, and like to balance these tints with a golden yellow.

These Delphinum hybrids were grown from seed, purchased in Germany from Jelitto Seed Company. In their second year, I hope that they will last until next year to reach full size.

Taking garden photos at dusk, allows for a more sensitive palette. If I could only find my tripod screw which I lost earler in the garden, this would have been less blury.

Daylily “Omomuki”<\/span>
Similar to the variety named ‘Joel’, this is one of those Daylilies that once you see it, you have to have it. Again, it has that perfectly perfect, lime-green color which I love, and it has tremendous substance, with large flowers and a high bud count. Ruffled petals, and an all-round good garden plant for the border. Don’t expect to find this guy at your local garden center though, it will take some years for it to get there. Try a local Daylily nursery. This one came from Seawright Gardens<\/a>, a local daylily breeder in Carlisle, Massachusetts, just west of Boston. Visit now, and have one of the boys dig you up a few fans. Seeing them in the ground, is one of the best way to choose a color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
