Even though it was getting dark, there was no wind a little earlier tonight so I went out and snapped some more new blooms (a few pics ended up being over 100).

  1. Gorgeous flowers, how do you do it in zone 3? Some look better than mine in zone 8. The triple orange/red eye daylily is usually Kwanso. I can't make out the lily pads in the pond, they look artificial? What is the pattern on top of the circles?

  2. The "lily pads" are actually solar sun rings used to help heat the swimming pool. It was my attempt at a little humor in the garden. Thanks for your comment. It's taken many years for some things to flourish here. Some just grow better than others in our dark but sandy soil. It's mostly trial and error to see what will grow well and what doesn't. Our growing season is short so I try to make the most of it.
