That is where I got the Cannes lily; from the bargain bin for $1 several years ago.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting. Those petunias are pretty. This is the first year I've grown petunias here! :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-77854642758474665442008-07-24T11:18:00.000-04:002008-07-24T11:18:00.000-04:00Beautiful photos, Aisling.

I love its cheery orange color too!<BR/><BR/>Slugs took a toll on my lilies this year, including eating the buds off of two or three of my Cannes lilies.

Do you have trouble with any bugs on the Cannes Lily? In my bowl of daylilies today, there is a dark daylily like your Little Grapette, but I bought it with the name Little Fred.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-44707761522763497532008-07-21T09:16:00.000-04:002008-07-21T09:16:00.000-04:00Robbin,It's been a little hot here, but probably n...Robbin,<BR/><BR/>It's been a little hot here, but probably not as bad as down south.

I can stay inside all day and be cool but I miss the fresh air! <BR/> OH, and that flower we were waiting on to bloom? It was a Daisy, like a long stemmed one. It is beautiful. I got a picture, I'll post it soon.<BR/> Have a good weekRobbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663210786298674312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-78768536020601865302008-07-20T21:14:00.000-04:002008-07-20T21:14:00.000-04:00Linda, Yes, I feel blessed when I'm amid my flower...Linda, Yes, I feel blessed when I'm amid my flowers.
