flowers

In the summer and fall of 2008, when we first moved out behind the barn, I went crazy with flowers, and planted several different kinds of  daffodils.  

  I brought these from our old yard; the original bulbs were given to me by Diane, a neighbor down the road.  Maybe these are jonquils instead of daffodils; you can read about the differences HERE.  
I kept looking at catalogs from nurseries and ordered flowers as if there was no tomorrow.  I purchased an assortment package of daffodil bulbs which are still surprising me in the spring.  

This one is different.  

Absolutely lovely! 

After the winter we've had, we deserve all this color.  


While I was poking around in the flower bed, I noticed a group of strange plants emerging from the ground.  There were several of them, all alike, so I knew they had to be something I had planted and forgotten.  

I recall being fascinated with pictures of Asiatic lilies last summer, so I think that's what these are.  

I looked up this picture of asiatic lilies online; these resemble my emerging plants.  However, I have little recollection of ordering them or planting them.  


It's no wonder I lost my gladiolus corms.    


These days, when a flower catalog shows up in the mail, I discard it without looking at a single page.  I have enough flowers!
