Thanks to the weird spring we had, the flowers are all blooming fast. The ‘Fourth of July’ rose, a bright red floribunda rambler of unknown parentage, is nearly finished and will be done before the Fourth of July. The Goatsbeard, a July staple here, is nearly done. The Shastas and Snakeroots, which should be July-August will be starting soon.
So:
Straight orange daylilies (the ditch lily), cultivars and doubles will be starting in a few days.
