Zephyranthes candida can't be beat for low maintenance, naturalizing, and a lot of bloom!  I have shared many over the years.  I have become interested in some cultivars which were new to me.

This is a double; however, I don't remember the name.

 Zephyranthes 'Big Dude' is Tom's favorite

Lycoris squamigera 'Autumn Spider Lily' is a late summer flowering bulb of the Amaryllis family

More Crocosmia ...
This is Crocosmia 'Lucifer.'  They multiply like crazy.  They were divided this year, and I had PLENTY to share!

Crocosmia doing its thing this summer!

I'm pretty sure this is Crocosmia 'Jenny Bloom'

Look who was hiding by the steps in our front yard!  Mama found a safe, private spot for him/her to wait until she returns at suppertime.

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snowflake' 

We moved this hydrangea from the woodland garden a couple of years ago to a spot in our backyard where it is getting more light and is much happier.

Introducing our new resident to MapleWalk ... "Simon."

Thankfully Simon found no one at home in the birdhouse.

Spigelia marilandica (Indian Pink) is beginning to slowly spread.

Our Acanthus mollis were so pretty this year ... the most blooms stalks I've ever had!

"Parsley," our indoor bunny who lives on our sunporch, has found a new favorite spot to rest during the day ... in a houseplant.  

Our neighbor, Dave Lovett, offered to share some of his Tovara 'Brushstrokes' he had gotten from Plant Delights several years ago.  As I've said many times ... Gardeners are nice people!

This has been quite the year for squirrel trapping.  I have broken my record with 40 squirrels and one crow so far.  What a shock to find a crow in my trap!  The crow was released in the garden, and the squirrels have all been relocated to the woods.  I always tell my squirrel before releasing ... "Now you have LOTS of friends here."
