Late Garden Bloggers Bloom Day

It's been a while since I have participated in Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Thanks to Carol from May Dreams Gardens for creating this wonderful event. Every 15th of the month garden bloggers are encouraged to take photos of their blooms. I actually did take these pictures on the 15th but haven't had any time to post them up. After doing this post I have homework to do. It's been long since I last posted but I just haven't had the time or even the want to continue with my blog. There are times I get so run down and tired of things I just have to take a break. I think I'm ready to come back again now that I have a yard that I'm trying to get going. No more balcony garden and I'm glad but frustrated too. All my plants are still in pots while I'm trying to rid of the massive amounts of fire ants and make beds.

Here is what is blooming!

Daylily

I have daylilies but I'm having a hard time finding out which is which. I badly labeled them and now my labels are all washed out. The only clue I have is the ones with labels I got from Gilbert H Wild. While the ones without labels are unknown ones I got for a dollar each on ebay. I think they are all beautiful regardless if they were a dollar and more than a dollar. So if you know maybe which one is which do say. I bought abstract art, cold harbor, eruption, lovely naomi, raindrop, ricky, ruffled valentine, sacred way, saucy sue, and windsor castle. I will put the name I think it is but it's just a guess since many pictures online vary in color.
