Here are some tiger lilies, which came from my sister Alabama's old campsite up at the lake:
Honeysuckle smells so good. I had a giant honeysuckle at the old place, but a couple of years before I moved it developed some kind of blight. It would still leaf out, but the flower buds would turn black and wither up before they blossomed. I took some small shoots off of a part of the bush that didn't seem to be affected and started them in another part of the yard. They came with me when I moved, and now that plant's a good five feet high! Now if I could just get the trumpet vine to bloom ... *sigh*
Blooming soon: Stargazer lilies. Oh, and a local garden center's having their big end-of-season, half-off-everything sale this weekend, so who knows what I'll end up with. (It's just ALL KINDS of excitement around here.) Maybe a bee balm to replace the one that didn't make it through the winter. Maybe some daylilies to plant by the ditch. I'll let you know what I pick up ...
Those tiger lilies are spreading like crazy, which I love. I moved some to the side yard this year to see how they do there.
Jupiter's Beard, which I bought because of the name:
Did Jupiter have a red beard? I have no idea.
This honeysuckle is growing next to the shed out back:

Durn! You reminded me that I forgot to snatch some honeysuckle by the road side coming to and from the library!!!! The new neighbors behind us did indeed clear out the one that I was using for the soap :o( Since the cherry tree didn't survive the transplant we were going to try the honeysuckle instead. Adding to my to-do list.
