Lucky,I love lilies and last year I found one that blooms all summer,it's yellow,but still really pretty.
I have a few Hostas but have to split them again next year...one is a blueish looking one,with huge leaves and pretty white flowers,that's my favourite. Here's my butterfly picture,but I think everyone has already seen it,Oh well No Monarchs so far this year,but I have seen the nice Black/Yellow one on my butterfly bushes.

Lovely butterfly! If you want Monarchs, culitivate a little patch of milkweed grow on your property. This is the ONLY food of the Monarch caterpillar, and if they're all gone, no more Monarchs. EVERYONE - GROW MILKWEED!! doggy lover, that is awesome - could be framed. Here's my white/green lillies. Don't know the name. |

Ok Lucky,what is milkweed???Probably too late for this season....
Vinnie unfortunately just loves to catch butterflies,it's amazing how high he can jump to catch one...he catches those little whiteish/yellowish ones that we have so many of,I don't like it but he munches them right up I keep a vigil over any large ones though,since there are so few.

I Googled and I found the Milkweed...and I don't have one,but I have everything else listed as Monarch friendly,even a teeny bird-bath especially for butterflies hidden i the flowers..
It says Milkweed is a weed(duh )maybe it's not available in nurseries..

Yes, chico. Milkweed grows in the ditches and stuff around here... If we get a patch somewhere in the lawn we just avoid cutting it down. Bunnies love milkweed too, by the way!
And Lucky - the Stella daylilies are fantastic! The only thing that bloomed in spite of me this year. They also have miniature stellas - I planted some last year - and they're adorable.. only about 10 inches tall and perfect for the front of a border!

Monarch butterflies cannot survive without milkweed. Yes, it's a weed but the flowers have an intensely sweet perfume! Look in a field in late summer and you'll see the familiar large seed pods. They look something like a cukecumber. When the pod ripens, plant some of the seeds in a sunny area.
Pags I wish I could remember the name of that variety of lilly. The colour is almost flourescent! I had a bunch of Asiatic lillies too - including Stargazers - but some sort of orange beetle killed every one of them. :sad: |

What a neat thread...it took about 10 minutes for the page to load with my crappy dial-up connection, but so worth it! I just love flowers, and even though I'm coming in late in the game, I'm attaching a few of my favorites from this season
Pansies... |

|

|

....and lilies.
I just can't plant enough of either of them. |

Oh, I love pansies!! Pansies, lilly of the valley, and roses.
I don't have a garden.. I thought this was the "favorite pic of your garden" thread so I thought I had read it all. So many beautiful flowers you guys have!!!! |

This is one of my favorites. I took it in 2002, Coco was
creeping in my garden, doing her thing and I caught her.

I just noticed that some of my tulips are starting to bud. Yippee! Now that I have a new camera and a set of close-up filters, I'll be able to get some really neat shots of them this year.
