This plant is an easy-pleaser.
It has thrived wherever I plant it.
I love the blooms and the foliage.
All it needs is enough water to stay vertical.
‘Hot Chocolate’ wins the prize for the best calla.

Peacock Alley
I have been fighting to protect daylily buds long enough to get a photo of one bloom from each plant.
I actually burst into tears in the garden yesterday.
One of my slow-growing daylilies, ‘Gentle Shepherd’ was decapitated overnight.
Here is a survivor.
‘Peacock Alley’ with sparkling raindrops.
Pointy, pink and pretty.
My flowers are my friends.
The deer are not my enemies.
I am torn between flowers and fawns.
My world is tiny.
My garden is important to me but so is nature.

Lavender Rainbow
This ‘Lavendar Rainbow’ daylily has lovely large blooms.
A mix of soothing colors.
I love how the sepals are a different color than the petals.
The Be-headings
I discovered more damage during my morning rounds.
There were several be-headings in the garden.
Our deer herd has been back for a midnight snack.
Any stem outside a fence ring is in danger of ingestion.
This Whooperee daylily was totally decapitated.
I try to put barriers between the beasts and the blooms.
I hope the Deer Scram will help slow down the feasting.
How many flowers could I buy with the money I have spent to stop the deer?
June is not joyous.
It is the month of expensive battles.
Nature always wins the war.
I know this.
I just need one bloom to photograph.
Is that too much to ask from my hungry herd?

Dixie Boy Daylily
‘Dixie Boy’ started blooming this morning.
It has a rich yellow to contrast the deep burgundy eye and edge.
It’s hard to pick a favorite.
Flower
Daring Deception
This daylily’s name is ‘Daring Deception’.
It has ruffled petals with purple edges.
I loved how the edges match the eye.
Flower
Mama Sedum
I do not know this sedum’s name,
so I call her Mama Sedum.
Her leaves are edged with future generations every June.
I love this mama and all her babies.
Flower
Rainbow’s End
This hosta has the leaves of dreams.
Rainbow’s End has color contrasts that call attention to each leaf.
The dark green is bluish and the light green is neon.
Each leaf has curves of color.
No wonder they named it Rainbow’s End.
P.S. We are getting a strong rain with HAIL right now.

Glowing Hosta
This hosta practically glows in the dark.
‘Rainforest Sunrise’ demands attention.
I have many hostas, also called Plantain lilies.
This one may be my favorite.
