Norma Buggy sent in some photos of her hydrangea. The rain this summer has been a help with the abundance of blooms on the hydrangea this year. Norma’s Limelight hydrangea are simply loaded with beautiful clumps of florets. They are truly showstopper. The blooms are a creamy Chartreuse changing to deep pink in the fall. We’d love to see some photos again of them after changing.

Norma included a pink hydrangea as well, but is not sure of the name.
She also includes a photo of her Resurrection Lily (Lycoris squamigera) which just bloomed. August usually brings these beauties up from the ground. This plant also is referred to as the Surprise Lily, Magic Lily, and Naked Lady. It’s foliage comes up in late winter and appears like that of a daffodil, but it shows no flowers then. With the first warm days of spring the leaves disappear by late May. In August one bloom will show for every 10 leaves in the clump. Five to seven long pink trumpet lilies appear atop a long naked stem.

Thank you Norma for such stunning photos of your garden. Perhaps it will encourage others to also send in some of their garden successes or photos of those that were not so successful. You have some beautiful plants there.
