"PROFUSION OF EASTER LILIES"

 "Lilium longiforum"
Is called "Easter Lily"
only in the United States.
I was trying to figure out what was on the left of the lilies...the grill. I was thinking that was a monster on top but just realized it is the grill scraper! WHEW!
This native of Japan first began to be marketed in the U. S.
as Easter Lily in the 1930s.
And aren't we glad it was!!

MARIAN'S GARDEN!!


Saturday, my friend, Marian and I volunteered to work the annual Fall Plant Sale at our local botanical center.
 I will post about that later this week.
I hope you notice the beautiful BLUE sky! 

Today, I want to share my friend's secret garden. 

Our community is inundated with deer. Any plant within their range is fodder for them.  If you hope to have any flowering plant material you have to protect it from the deer.
Marian has a very small fenced area of her side yard that has flourished this year.
 Let's visit!
Her volunteer Beautyberry is awesome this year. The birds will find the berries soon and the plant will be stripped within two days. 

Here, we can just see the rooting of Night Blooming Cereus, that I gave her earlier in the season. Hers will out grow mine easily. 
 Marian has two green thumbs.
Beautiful Penta! 
Marian's little fence. It takes only a small barrier to keep out the deer, especially when they don't have open space to jump.  

Marian is easily the most beautiful thing in the garden.

Her friendship is special and we have so much fun together

Now we are off to sell some plants!

See you later!!
Please leave a comment so that I know you visited!


I am joining the following parties. Come join in the fun!
