The First Daylilies ar in Bloom!

First, that mystery plant I challenged you with yesterday?  Achy Back Acres got it right; those leaves are of Chick Peas.  Achy Back Acres is a veggie farm we sometimes stop at between here and Owen Sound, highly recommended!

But big changes are happening in the garden - the first Daylilies are in bloom.  We'll have different daylilies blooming every day for the next month.  As the name implies, Daylilies only bloom for a day, though individual plants can have numerous buds that all take their turn!  It's a very colourful time in the garden!

I looked out the window and was completely surprised to see this colourful bright red Daylily right off.  It had seven blooms on day one!

The other one out was this bright orange one.  Talk about colour!

We also have the first of the Hostas in bloom.  I think the wrinkly leaves of this Hosta are almost as interesting as the flowers, perhaps not as beautiful, but interesting.

In spite of some large Clematis elsewhere, my favourite is this white one with tiny wee flowers.  They're so numerous it looks like a wave of white froth against the maple tree.  I think this is Sweet Autumn Clematis.

Finally this is our tiny Fairy Rose, doing very well this year.  We're now almost up to date in the garden.
