Digital Gardening

Other than constant watering, who's playing in the garden in this summer heat? NOT ME! If you need a "flower fix", this is a good place to find it!

Use our blog to brag on your blooms (or at least the ones you had in cooler weather) by posting photos and comments. Ask questions of your fellow club members and share tips. You don't have to limit it to Daylilies...most of us garden addicts grow lots of other things as well. Between us all we have literally hundreds of years of experience (well, it's true). Let's take advantage of that and share our passion here. Most importantly, have fun!

Other Perennials - Amaryllis


Charisma - purchased from Florida Grower


Hermitage - purchased from Florida grower.



Birthday Gift - Stain Glass Window - with
Mother's amaryllis underneath


Perhaps the largest amaryllis I own. My mother
gave this to me many years ago and it's babies
have been scattered all over the beds. It always
blooms 4 huge blooms on each stalk.

Double - from my Mother

Laughing Clown -obtained from Ace Hardware
on Telephone Road - now no longer sells
flowers.

Dancing Queen - I purchased this beautiful triple from an amaryllis farm that also sold daylilies. It was located in Florida. The bulbs that arrived were growing size for that spring.
These amaryllis pictures don't show the old faithful Apple Blossom - a variety that can be purchased from Wal-Mart. I once had a display that a neighbor had a friend visiting and asked if it was real. The real good deal can be obtained after the "season" to get and plant them for the next year's display. Purchased several this way and got them for $1.38 each. Can't wait for next year to see them blooming underneath my rose - Climbing Pinkie
