      The best these roses bloom is from about 2 weeks ago to the middle of June when the heat and Japanese beetles get them.

              Thanks,
              It’s from that green succulent behind it. It only produces a few flowers a year on long, spindly stalks. But they’re stunning.

                  @twin that is a beautiful plant! Remember seeing it and gawking when I saw it my first time in college. Japanese maple? I think?

                  The journey is the objective.

                    Thanks,
                    I can’t take any credit. They were here when I bought the place. There aren’t that many and they don’t bloom for long. But they sure put on a show when they do.

                        Yours reminds me of an amazing collection I saw at Sissinghurst a couple of years ago.

                            We had a couple appear yesterday....I'm very pleased, we split them hard last year and moved a lot to new locations, and they are all doing well....

                              Beauties! Are they lilies?
                              I find they somewhat resemble orchids. 3 sepals, 3 petals, the lower petal is a highly modified petal. Anyone think so too? Or am I imagining things?

                                    @SFMCfranky Nice! What a pure yellow. Is this a flag? Since we’re on the subject, the latest to flower:

                                      I’m not sure what the variety of these yellow ones are. A friend planted them next to my pool decades ago and they’ve thrived there ever since.
