'Stargazer' to the rescue!

Just in time ...

Stargazer Lily

As most of you are just beginning your daylily bloom season, mine is coming to an end.  There are still a few late bloomers putting on a small show.  I can't believe this!  I think the last daylily to bloom is going to be one of the first two that started off the show.  Stay tuned for a daylily end of show post coming up soon ... sigh.  Look who's come to the rescue to save me from lily withdrawal!  Last year, I purchased a bag of 'Stargazer' bulbs (one of my impulse buys).  The bag was supposed to contain a mixture of pink and yellow 'Stargazers.'  This is the first one to bloom and I just love it.  Hm mm, I may start paying more attention to stargazers and other oriental lilies.  These beauties would fill the gap from the end of daylily season to fall.  Now, there's an idea!  I know what you're thinking ... "here she goes with another flower addiction."  I'll pRaCtiCe rEsTraint ... you'll see. ;-)  Just curious, do any of you have any oriental lily recommendations?  I'd love to hear about your favorites.

I'm off to look for spots to plant oriental lilies ...
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Stargazer Lily

STARGAZER LILY
Another bloom from the past.  I'm still suffering through my "Spring Fever."  Although the Stargazers aren't daylilies, I still love them too.  They are very striking and do well in a vase.  It was 79 degrees here today, so hopefully the iris blooms are right around the corner.  Speaking of the weather, the heat and humidity today were the perfect mix for a "bad hair day" unless you're a lady wielding a flat/straightening iron ... one of the greatest beauty weapons ever! :-)
