Since moving here, I loved the look of Agapanthus but was not able to grow them until I tried some against the front wall in a sheltered "L" shaped place. They love that spot, as this photo of the bloom shows.

Mary Guenther Daylily
Shown here is the Daylily MARY GUENTHER. This is a recent arrival here, and I hope it does well for me. The colors are so bright. This flower dates back to 1942.
Doomsday Daylily
This is the Daylily DOOMSDAY (Taylor, 1956). This is an interesting plant to have too.
Altered State Daylily
More Daylilies... Shown is ALTERED STATE (Carr, 1997). It was hybridized about 23 miles from where I live. This thing is so pretty.

Daylily SWEET PATOOTIE
SWEET PATOOTIE (Warner, 1976) is another early blooming Daylily. I love that color and shape of it. This is a very dependable Daylily here.
Daylily AZTEC GOLD
Coming into bloom is the Daylily AZTEC GOLD (Dennett, 1936). It can bloom three times in one season here and typically starts early. It is short but pretty.

Fox Squirrels
Taking a small diversion from plants, I thought I may would mention Fox Squirrels. There are several that come around, and I feed them some intentionally. While much larger than the common gray squirrels, the Fox Squirrels are much better behaved. Unlike the grays, the Fox Squirrels can feed peacefully with ground feeding birds such as various types of Doves. Since Fox Squirrels are not very common, I am including a couple photos of them.
