LOL<br />The best way to take white flower photos is in at least light shade .. shade cuts the glare.<br />I remember one year I had White Swan in the back of my car while I was garden center hopping and the scent was heavenly ! I know what you mean about hydrangea and scent .. one year they have nothing and then the next year is WOW ! ... I'm not sure what the story is to that other than maturity maybe ?

I stay away from them because they’re hard to photograph! I did not know white swan was fragrant. I have some tiny starter plants going of it, so I’ll be curious to give them a sniff next year when they bloom. It’s funny, my Firelight hydrangea was SUPER fragrant this year, and I swear that I never noticed it before.

Your 'Desert Icicle' is a beauty. <br /><br />All the deep rich green foliage your garden make a wonderful pairing with the fresh pure white flowers--a breath of cool air on a hot summer's day, even if the cool feel is only visual.

I can't even begin to count how many mistakes I have made. But this was not your fault, weather can change so easily and we have no control over that. I have become fascinated by spider lilies now, and I have no room to put new plants in ... I will have to think of something ?

This spring, I decided to transfer the bulbs into the garden greenhouse in April. It was my big fault. The bulbs died after an overnight frost that was unexpected. So now I don't have them :(( Yours remind me that I left the poor bulbs out in the cold.<br />Your garden is beautiful, lots of bright flowers.Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-39511930722712476522022-08-07T17:57:09.156-04:002022-08-07T17:57:09.156-04:00Hello Kris and thank you ;-) I had to look up Span...Hello Kris and thank you ;-) I had to look up Spanish Harlem and what an intense colour ! Yes they need a lot of water and your situation is a tough one so of course you are going with plants that are drought tolerant .. but you have gorgeous varieties !! As I have said your gardens are like a Botanical garden .. they remind me of the one we saw on the coast of Spain.<br />Yup ... today they had to make nice with each other and the tap .. taking turns, which I have to admit was darn cute too .. go figure, only cat people would think that way ? LOL<br /><br />Hello there Beth and thank you so much ! I wonder what it is that makes us change our minds about plants ? even my methods of gardening have changed, I don't go nuts when i lose a plant and I have been known to pull some and put them in the recycle bags for the city's compost. I don't have friends that garden like I do ..or I would give the plants away .. my neighbor has had enough of my "gifting" ? LOL<br /><br />Hello there Snowbird ;-) Thank you !! The girls "know" how cute they are as well ? LOL<br />I have gone back to trying to train some roses up an arbor .. I failed miserably a few years ago .. now here I go again ? I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me ?

Your first statement is so true: I really don't have favorite plants, but some of the plants I wasn't crazy about in the past have become more appealing to me (and even very appealing) over time. Also, it's always fun to try new ones.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-80769466028946486042022-08-03T17:22:03.698-04:002022-08-03T17:22:03.698-04:00You grow so many lovely plants I don't have a ...You grow so many lovely plants I don't have a hope of keeping alive for a season, much less years. I can appreciate the appeal of that daylily. I fell in love with daylilies after moving to our current place (bad timing). I have a few dozen but only one variety, 'Spanish Harlem', made a good showing this year. As another blogger told me that rain is like fertilizer for them, I'm blaming 2 years of severely low rainfall for their poor performance and I won't buy any more as the rain situation isn't likely to improve anytime soon. <br /><br />Happy birthday to your "girls"! They must figure that if the bathroom tap is good enough for you, then it is for them too ;)Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
