First of our lilies. lilycount 2

The highest and best use for day lilly leaves is chewing on them, according to Ashley. #dogsofmastodon

Two years ago, Jackie moved some of our lilies to the back yard. This is especially nice on rainy days, because we can admire them through the patio door without having to go out in the rain.

We’re expecting more total lilies, now that they’ve been given more room, but I do kind of miss the density we had with so many lilies in one small spot. #lilycount 11


No lilies yesterday, but today #lilycount 2. (And a whole lot of buds that will burst into flower over the next few days.)
I bestirred myself to spend three hours yesterday digging up the flower bed in front of our house, separating lilies and daffodils, and mixing in compost. Jackie replanted the flowers that we’d thinned along with some Siberian squills and some irises. Now I can spend the winter dreaming of spring flowers.


We’re past peak lilies, but by no means at the end: #lilycount 5.

I’d though we’d hit peak lilies a couple of days ago, but nope. Yesterday: #lilycount 44!
