Carrollton Yard – August 2022 (2)
/The naked lady lilies have green foliage in the early summer then die back…sending up stalks with blooms in late summer. Each stalk has multiple blooms. The pink blooms lighten as they age. Most of the stalks were done by the time I arrived in August.
The fairy lilies have one bloom per stalk and stay a darker pink. They seem to bloom after a burst of moisture and were at their best after the August rains in Carrollton, Texas.
The garden has luxuriant borders of chives, and they are getting ready to bloom. I suspect that by the time I am back in September, there will be seeds forming! Maybe I’ll collect some to start some chive boarders of my own in Missouri!
