the "freckles" in the lily look more purple than they did in the picture on the package... i'm glad.
you can't tell on here, but there are tiny spots of yellow in the glads, and i am curious to see whether or not they become more visible (and live up to their "firecracker" name) as the flowers grow.
Baby Bear helped me water again this morning... and we actually took a break from watering yesterday!
I've babied them this summer... I bought the bulbs for these at wal-mart. Right now it looks like only one of the 5 lily bulbs while flower... the others growth seems to have been stunted. The glads, on the other hand, took very well. And I'm pretty sure we're far enough south that I don't have to pull them out in the fall so they don't freeze to death.
As your kids get older, maybe you could experiment together? Hannah already loves "helping" me.
The verbena and snapdragons I planted are not doing as well.. and the purple calla lilies don't look like they will bloom this year.
So for any of you who think I've got a green thumb... I don't, really. But I try to follow planting recommendations (shade, sun, etc...), throw some miracle grow on the plants every couple of weeks, and water them regularly. Our lawn does not get such royal treatment... it's barely surviving this drought. You just can't take it personally when things die!

Those are beautiful! My lilies haven't bloomed yet, but they are getting close. I can't wait!
Your flowers are beuatiful. I wish I did not have a black thumb.....I can't grow anything.

Gorgeous! How I wish I could get something that looked like those to grow...or stay alive, really! Happy WW.
