Good evening everyone-It is funny sometimes when you plant a lot of flower bulbs, plants and shrubs you forget that you planted them. Well at least I apparently have. Maybe I am getting old and forgetful or I just lost track of all that I actually planted. Whichever it is I had another surprise in my garden. Actually 11 surprises.
The bed along the pool fence had these growing in them and for the life of me I don't remember planting them. I will have to find the paper I wrote what I planted in there to see if they just magically appeared but most likely not. They are beautiful but they were doubled up in the bed by the pool fence so I transplanted them into the bed in the bird feeder area.
Also once I realized what they were I still didn't know what color they were. When they got their blooms but hadn't opened yet they looked orange. There was room for 12 so I bought a orange one to fill the last spot. Imagine my surprise when they weren't orange but actually this color
Well I couldn't have one orange one in a bed with all this color so I transplanted over to the bed by the pool where I took these out of because there was also orange ones in there but not doubled and not 11. I also found another one of these so now I have 12 of this color in this bed.
The same day I picked up the orange one I saw these but didn't notice the name, just knew they were a pretty color. Also the ones in the bed above hadn't opened and I was still under the assumption they were orange and I liked this color too so I got 3 of them. It is kind of funny now that I actually had 11 and didn't know it. These three in the second pic are called ghost asiatic lilies. Don't have a clue why they have that name.
Now what I am wondering but not really sure is if they are all the same kind. The top pic with the 12 would be from last year and these I just bought. To me they are a slightly different color but what do you think. The third pic is a close-up of the 12 I had.
The life of a gardener is fun and never dull and in my case everchanging and growing. Now this last pic is the orange one I bought. It will fit in much better with the other orange ones which already bloomed and lost their petals.
Funny thing is even the orange ones look different but then again I bought these last year as well. There was six of these in this bed by the pool fence.
Well, Have I confused you yet? LOL
