In Need of Heavy Rain

I purchased a garden fork to use in digging my lily bulbs. I learned my lesson that using a spade damages the bulbs.

Oriental/Trumpet Lily 'Anastasia'

The brand new fork.

I used it for the first time to dig Anastasia bulbs. The ground is bone dry and I am praying for some heavy rain as I still have lots of lily bulbs to dig. I made a new garden bed for my lilies for the reason that I need to separate them from the hostas. It will take a while before I can complete the move.

Anastasia bulbs, they are as pretty as the flower.

Lilium 'regale' bulbs.

Species lily 'regale', the most fragrant lily that I grow.

Various bulbs dug from the garden.

Fall

I have been busy cleaning up my flower beds, putting down mulch and digging up bulbs. There are still a few peformers that brings color to the fall landscape.

Amarcrinum

Dahlia

Rhodophiala bifida

Tom 'Purple Cherokee', waiting for them to ripen so I can pull it out.
