As I stepped out this morning to go to the car, I was greeted by the first daylily of the season. This is is the only one to even have buds on it yet, in fact.
My lantana is just beginning to bloom and there are a few pink flowers on the skullcap that I recently planted next to the driveway. The zexmenia has also had a flower or two on it. All these are hot weather plants that will really not look their best until July.
All signs of the changing seasons. The afternoons are starting to get hot and muggy. We are needing rain already and there is none in the forecast. I got out the hose and watered a little around the plants that I put in this spring.

I wish I could say the same about what I was greeted with when I stepped outside this morning. Our poor robins are so confused and don’t have a hope in finding any bugs or worms as they’re pretty much buried under snow.
I’ve had a chance to work in the yard once this year but the wind came up so strong that it was blowing all my garden debris down the street so I quit.
ARGH!
The colors in that lily are absolutely beautiful, Bill. Keep posting these pictures….it’s my only piece of spring.
Do you happen to know what variety your daylily is?
I have no luck with Lilies! I plant them, they never come up!!
I wish I could send you some of our rain. Today’s the first time the sun has made a major appearance this week. Lots and lots of water, which means lots and lots of mowing once the soggy ground dries out.
