I keep trying to grow ferns here but don't have much luck with them. I think maybe we're too dry and hot. Love your blog BTW. Beautiful day lilies but I like those ferns too.

I think it's incredible how tough and resilient plants are if they are just given the chance to do their thing. Your day lilies are beautiful, just the kind of thing I'd like to add to my garden next year after our move to the country. Right now the only 'garden' I have are three large containers, I can't wait! That sounds like a mystery you’re never going to solve.

I hope someday my my daylily will look like your's. I do have some hollyhocks too and some beebalm. I am going to try to duplicate your garden in front of your picket fence.

My mother used to have day lilies in her flower garden and I always thought they were so pretty. I like your blog, you're always writing about something interesting and the photos are so inspiring.

They are such forgiving souls and will grow about anywhere. When I was a kid, (about a hundred years ago) we had a whole side yard full of them! But the blooms didn't last all that long. Too bad because they are beautiful. Your original garden by the fence must be heaven! Hollyhocks! My favorite, but I have never had good luck growing them. I guess the trick is to find the right spot and just let them be. Thanks for your wonderful pictures, Shirley. I come here every day for my "soul" food. I love the old-fashioned orange day lilies.
