Ruby Slippers, which opens pure white and then turns red, is shifting its color.

Oh, that lily is really beautiful. It really pops with color! We’re kind of at a transition time here between spring and summer bloomers. It’s always kind of a sad time for me when the crabapples and lilacs are finished blooming. But then the summer blooms start and it gets exciting again. 🙂
Hope your summer flowers will catch up soon to cheer you Beth. We’re a few days ahead I guess. I noticed that transition period–a lull that made me restless. Now it’s turning dry and hot, 92F yesterday.
Lovely! I’m enjoying the daylilies now too. I admired several Hydrangeas at my local garden center recently but made myself walk away – planting them here, especially in early summer, is a death sentence.
It’s turned hot here, 92F yesterday, and no rain for a week. Wrong time here also for hydrangeas! I propped them up by watering yesterday but I can’t keep up with their needs.
How do you label your plants?
I keep a text file with all the plants listed and try to label my photos using the same text. In the text file I sometimes list dates, where purchased and sometimes, where planted, to help me remember. Is that what you meant?
That’s a good suggestion. I was also referring to actual labels in the garden. Sometimes, I have been known to dig something up by mistake in the spring because I forgot it was there. 😦
That I have no good suggestions for. Plastic labels get broken. Sometimes I place a stone or pattern of bark chips to remind me something is there but that’s unreliable.
I’m impressed with your labeling system. I mostly guess.
Life sometimes gets in the way so my plant inventory is far from complete, but it helps.
Lovely but these are July flowers here, your summer is racing along
It does feel like the season is rushing but the flowers actually are right on schedule here.
Love that Ruby Slippers!!
Ruby Slippers does well if it gets enough rain, which we did for a while.
Nice color on the Daylily.
Thanks. Not a huge daylily person but for a brief while I appreciate their contribution to the garden.
