So, I'm thinking this beast of a summer has died. Look what came up in my yard as a complete and total surprise when I splashed some water around something nearby:
These lilies have been in the ground several years now, but I haven't seen even a hint of them for 2006 (drought), 2007 (flood) or 2008 (drought). Their first year (2005) I got one sickly bloom (my friend only gave me a small chunk) so I am astounded by this spread. I had very much given up on them, so needless to say I do a little dance of joy every time I walk the yard and see them. Then I start wondering about all the other things that I've just assumed were dead and gone ..... but I've got to tell you that seeing something blooming in the yard raised my spirits so much that it sent me running to the nursery for some blackfoot daisy.
