Labels!

The Stella d'Oro daylilies have been blooming for several weeks, and the common orange ones started last week. When we got back from Vermont last night, I saw that Ladybug's Louise started sometime over thee weekend. That prompted me to make labels!

Since I don't know exactly where I planted the daylilies when I moved them from the back, I need to label them. So I got out some of the miniblinds in the basement (metal ones), and cut diagonally next to the cords. As a result, I have about 20 6-7 inch strips of metal that I wrote the names on with a black Sharpie. So far, I only have Ladybug's Louise and the 5 that I planted last week that I got from webwalkway.com for letting her use the picture of Prairie Blue Eyes. Those were Pardon Me, Double Cutie, Country Melody, Iron Gate Melody, and Ruffled Apricot. I planted them on Garland's side of the yard, next to the other kidney-shaped section of daylilies over there.

Also, two weekends ago, I got some hostas from home to match the other varigated ones.

The pansies are looking pretty rough. I'll probably dig them up when it's not so damn hot.
