So here I have a bunch of the row open - I counted something like 12 flowers open and at least 25 more to go just in this row! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to expand my lily garden at the end of the season.

The whole row:

PSA Learned recently that Lillies are incredibly toxic for cats. Like there have been cases where a cat dies just from brushing up against a Lilly and cleaning themselves.

Thank you! I'm glad they can be enjoyed by more than just me and the neighborhood deer population!

Beauty! Could be a great wallpaper.

Very nice! I'm jealous. Deer always eat ours :(

[–] mom@nom.mom 3 points 5 months ago

Thank you!

I think I got kinda lucky with these - thought for sure they would get eaten! On the one hand, I like nature and all the fun and cute animals that come to visit, but I don't want them to eat the things that I am still enjoying!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Stunning, mine are starting to form their bulbs now, but I checked my pictures from last year and probably still 2 weeks away from any blooms :(.

My Dalia’s I transplanted into pots are doing stellar though! So other blooms to enjoy still.

Thanks! 2 weeks isn't so bad, at least 😁

I never seem to be able to keep my dahlias going, so we didn't get any of those this year 😅

Looking forward to seeing some pics of your flowers when they do come in - also of the raised bed garden!

I usually have issues with marigolds myself, but I usually water my grass with a sprinkler and I hear they aren’t a fan of overhead watering.

The dahlias aren’t perennials here unfortunately, especially not in a planter, but they seem to like the season here.

My rose has a bloom forming as well! So excited for that to get going, I thought I over pruned them, but they are coming in with vengeance

Beautiful! Lovely shade of red!
