Here on the farm and around Golden guess who is waking up from a long summer’s nap…
Rhodophiala bifida Oxblood Lily
Stretching, yawning and reaching towards the sun, these little beauties remind me that summer is on its way out.

Across the South in late August, boy, oh boy, do we need these little guys’ annual message.
Hang in there! Cooler temperatures are on their way.

Just this morning next to the Golden post office, I spotted my first Lycoris radiata Red Spider Lily of the season.

These wonderful bulbs are always such a huge delight when they surprise us with a bloom.

Those are lovely! I like the combination with the Mexican Petunias. I hadn’t thought of that. Have a great day!
Thanks, Kelsey. It is a nice combo. I really feel that combinations are the key to success with bulbs in the garden. En masses is pretty for fields or large places like Keukenhof (http://www.keukenhof.nl/) or Dallas Blooms (http://www.dallasnews.com/lifestyles/home-and-gardening/headlines/20120308-dallas-blooms-arboretum-one-of-world-s-10-best.ece). However, for the home gardener, mixing them in with other perennials is definitely the key to success.
Beautiful color and shape…and, thank goodness, cooler weather is on the way!
