My wife is the flower person (I was the flower child, but that is ancient history). Her favorites are daylilies: We have maybe 100 different varieties. A few date back to her mother and grandmother's gardens. We purchased the family home 12 years ago after it had been in the family for around seventy years. The rest have been purchased, mostly from Gilbert H Wild of Sarcoxie, Missouri. Their varieties are excellent, cheap and very healthy. Been buying from them for about 25 years or more. Never a bad experience to date. Irises are her other favorite. Wild's and Bluebird Nursery in Nebraska have supplied most of the new ones to go along with the hundreds that her mother had planted. Most of the peonies were here but we have also added several. Spring is a colorful place around here. image upload

Love love love flowers. This house was built in 1928 and some of the plants are very old. I love the bearded iris. and love the smell of the jasmine and the sunflowers

I grow almost nothing that isn't edible, though I do have a patch of alyssum, to help the bees, and these re-seed. And I have 2 lilacs that were here when I bought the house 33 years ago. All I do is cut them back, when necessary.
