The yellow lily bunch is Daylily (Hemerocallis) named "Stella d'Oro." Flowers only last about a day then they die off. To keep it looking fresh, pluck the dead ones as often as you can, and don't let them go to seed. It's a kind of rounded triangular seed pod - just snap them off. But be careful, sometimes there are 4-6 flower buds per flowering stalk. If prevented from going to seed you'll make the plant think "oh no I haven't been successful in making seeds, I should keep trying." And with luck and right conditions, she'll continue popping out new flowers. Mine haven't started blooming yet.
Ive already used that advice..thanks soooo much!
I want to say that the variegated leaves and flowers is a Weigela, but not 100% sure.

You've done a wonderful job with the garden and everything is beautiful!
thank u I am trying.

varigated means different kinds of leaves right? Ive always wondered about that with that plant
The Clematis,I always cut down to about 2 feet in the spring and it will bloom every year.
will do
I also have a couple of Stella d'Oros it's the only Lily I have that blooms all summer.
Good Job Onster
