Day 196

2008.07.14
A small burgundy daylily ~ one of my favorites!

A yellow one ~ not my favorite.

A giant mauve daylily ~ about 8 inches across!

This is the false blue indigo plant that remains and grows like a weed after the blooms are gone. It gets huge every year and dies totally back to the ground in the fall. An amazing plant! (I posted the blooms on 5-28-08.)

A hosta bloom bud ~ can't wait to see it!

Does anybody know what these are?

I did it! I did it! It's a bug ~ I've been so envious of all the bugs and butterflies everyone posts. I finally got one!!

Thanks to churchcr for the idea to crop my bee photo!

Edited to add a cropped version of the bee on the Spiderwort.

mindysue great photo of the bug on the blue flower!! You should be proud!! The berries look like wild grapes to me! But I don't know!

oldbabe I do like the burgundy daylily. I like the contrast of yellow in the middle. Those are the kind I like. I have the indigo too, but it falls all over the place. I posted the flower somewhere on my blog too. That's the only reason I keep it - I like the blue. And, yes, I see the little guy on your spiderwort!

busybee36 Well done on the bug; I'm still trying to get one to stand still long enough for the camera to focus on it!

Queen911 Well if you ask me #2 is my favorite - the yellow looks happy.

kware congrats on getting the bug! And I agree, out of my lillies, I prefer the dark red (or orange) ones, but I'm not a big fan of the yellow ones. They just don't seem to have enough contrast against the green background when I photograph them :)

churchcr Great bug pic! I like the day lilies, too.
