Carrollton Yard – September 2023
/There were no 100-degree days during the visit to my parents in Carrollton TX in late September; the yard was recovering – coping much better with the highs in the 90s. The sprinklers were able to make up for the lack of rain. The orange spider lilies were beginning to bloom. They were part of the landscaping in my sister’s house purchased over 30 years ago; she has propagated them into several other family yards. The red yuccas are still making seed pods, but the ratio has shifted to mature (and open) pods; those plants were the start of red yuccas in other yards as well.
We cut some of the spider lilies to enjoy inside. I did some high key photography of them – the vase in a window to create the bright background behind the flowers.
