    A white lilly that just opened. Even though it is 3 years old, this is the first it has bloomed. The rabbits kept nipping it off before it could bloom.

    A lilly that we transplanted to the bank at the driveway.

    Remember the Autumn Joy that I transplanted earlier in the spring? Here they are 3 months later. They are now about 2 ft tall.

    Love that pink Lily Capt.
    Boy, that sure was a good pruning on those Mock Orange's! I'll bet they grow back quickly though.

    Lovely lily. The Autumn Joy filled in quick. It will be quite the site when it blooms.

    Nice lilies. :D I really like the tidy look of your pruned and mulched mock-orange hedge. Please don't show those autumn joys in bloom for many months yet. :D We're still in late spring here, temperature wise.

    The Autumn Joy won't start blooming until late August or early Sept.

    Niiiiiice, very nice--
    That Mock Orange hedge: is it situated strategically so that the fragrance will be caught and be carried upon the wind in your direction?

    Capt, I really like the way you plant large groups of the same plant. With your large spaces, they look great.
