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.
