NEW LILIES IN THE SOUTH GARDEN
Lately I am finding gardening a pleasure and not a chore. Therefore, I have increased plantings. David dug the horrid day lilies out of the south garden. They had simply taken over and were completely out of control.
In their place we planted several varieties of sedum, sea holly, thistle and some Asiatic lilies. The lilies are an ivory-cream color with lovely paprika centers. The coloring of the centers compliment the red sedum that is getting ready to bloom. There were a few bare spaces in that garden and I filled them in with giant white gladioli. This garden is becoming quite impressive. We are pleased because it is the garden most in view to people driving up our street.
