Nothing new here

So I am going to share some pictures.
We have these little.... frogs, I think they are. They flourish when the ditches have water in them, heh. They are about two inches at most, I think, and have the loudest croak for the size I've ever heard! Here's a picture of one. On the kitchen window screen.


Now I'm sharing more pictures of the daylilies. They're enjoying the heat. ;) Sorry about the irregularity of the pictures. I am definitely blog challenged when it comes to layouts and such.

Remember I mentioned the lilies that came up unexpectedly after two or 3 years? Well, that white one was the only one to bloom. The one on the right of the next picture. You can see on the left where the buds just sort of never opened, got eaten, were malformed and died off. Don't know what happened there. And the others just never did more than leaves. Oh well. Since they didn't grow before now, I'm not too sad they didn't bloom, just curious.

And last, a picture of the crepe myrtle. It's starting to bloom. :)

It's a bicolor. My oldest son got it for me when he worked as manager of outside lawn and garden at a local Lowes. I love the flowers when they bloom.
Only drawback? The wasps love them too. ;) I noticed a couple weeks ago, when the buds were forming, that the wasps were quite infatuated with the crepe myrtle. Oh well. I can't blame them. :)

Have a blessed weekend, everyone!

  1. Pretty!

    We have lilies but they grow wild down by the creek. I was there today but they weren't blooming. I hope I didn't miss it because it's always so striking and some blue flowers grow at the same time, so it is red and blue every where.

  2. I love crepe myrtles, but it seems everyone else does, too. Those, and Bradford Pears. The lillies are very pretty, though.
