I love day lilies. I think it’s because they so exuberant. I have multiple cultivars (they don’t all bloom at the same time, so even without the Stella D’Oros I have about a month of day lilies).
I have lots of hostas not because I love them, but because they grow in shade, which I have a lot of, and they’ll thrive.
Visitor at the hostas.
Because I have so much shade, I also have several varieties of fern.
Here are the ubiquitous Stella D’Oros. These get put anywhere I want to ignore.
And two of the other day lily varieties blooming now.
Most of these are from Seneca Rocks and environs.
Irises are kind of embarrassing to look at, when you think about what flowers really are.

It may have been raining in Morgantown, but New River Gorge was beautiful.
Here are some flowers we found on our hike.
Some flowers that were blooming while we were in Baltimore over the weekend.
The arboretum is FULL of wild flowers right now!
Trillium
Dutchman’s Breeches, Dicentra cucullaria
Spring Beauties, Claytonia virginica
Virginia bluebells, Mertensia virginica
Trout Lily, Erythronium americanum
Please enjoy some hot butterfly on flower action.
Flowers are from the Cranberry Wilderness and the Falls of Hills Creek.
The way the light turned out, I almost feel embarrassed looking at this display of naughty bits.
Lots of Bee Balm
Is this a white Bee Balm? Because that’s what it looks like to me.
Happy Sunday! Have some flower pr0n!
More day lilies are blooming! Hooray!
Why yes, I really do have many different cultivars of day lilies! (This doesn’t include the lemon lilies we got from Michael’s grandmother that bloom in early spring, and the Stella D’Oros that will bloom repeatedly.)
Some of these can probably be split. If anyone is interested, let me know–assuming I can be bothered to split them this year. O.o
My day lilies are blooming! Unfortunately they’re kinda beat up. But the balloon flower and hostas look nice!
I slacked on taking pictures of the spring flowers around my house, but here’s what’s blooming today!
My lavender is blooming like crazy this year! Anyone want some?
Stella D’Oro daylily
In addition to my herb garden, I’ve got planters of a few vegetables this year.
For the first time in several years, my hydrangea bloomed! Yay!
