Backyard Blooms: Plants in flower this week
I’m taking a little break this week, but I’ll post a daily photo of what’s growing well in my garden.
Today, it’s Hemerocallis ‘Prince Redbird.’ This daylily is about 18-24″ tall and a relatively early bloomer in my Zone 7 garden.

What’s Blooming Today?
Hemerocallis ‘Grand Opera’ bloomed this morning.
I adore the clear red color of this flower. It’s not muddied at all by hints of blue. It’s a short plant, perhaps 24 inches tall, and sits in the front of my south-side “hot” border. It pairs well with my tiger lilies and gold yarrow.
I still have perhaps two dozen small pots of seedlings remaining from my winter sowing project that I keenly want to get into the garden. I hope I may have time this evening to sneak into the garden and get them planted.
