Yesterday I bought some plants at home depot. 3 Foxglove - each pot has 3-4 blooms in it. And 3 small creeping fig. I want those to go into a new bed in the back - I don't know the timeline on that so they may need an interim home. I also bought a new yellow rose. I saw some at the garden tour homes and fell in love. The one I bought is a floribunda - Julia Childs. Specs: Butter gold color, very round and bushy, medium old fashioned bloom, licorice and spice scent, 2006 AARS winner. About 3 feet tall.
Mine has blooms but none have opened - this pic is from White Flower Farm.
I made some cuttings today that I have never done before. About 3 each of Fairy Rose, David Austin Rose, Bridal Wreath Spirea, Gardenia, White Jasmine, ans Pieris. Who knows - nothing may happen. But you never know.
The 2 Rhodea Lilies I bought about 4 years ago were looking pretty sad. Maybe too much sun. So, I decided to move them. In the process I divided them. 2 lilies turned into 20 plants - wow. That is some return. I put all of them in the dark bed on the left along the front fence. The soil was better than I imagined. Still red like the clay, but earthworms. That is good. The Hydrangea flowers are progressing nicely. I also pulled some weeds and cleaned up my Hayes - I noticed that lots of Hellebores have seeded and come up. The first true set of leaves are there. I wonder when is best to move them.
