I've spent quite a bit of time over the last few weeks working in the yard. I mentioned a couple of days ago that we had removed the patio and put in another garden. In addition I dug in a bunch of stepping stones around the pond and planted a bunch of grass there today. We've added some more wire to support the Wisteria that is just getting huge. It stretches about 30 feet across from the back deck to an arbor near the pond now. I also planted some pretty cool Purple Hyacinth Bean vines by the arbor as well. Between that and the Wisteria they should look really nice in a couple of months. I also put in the Hyacinth Beans on the back deck as well in addition to the Morning Glories, Blackeyed Susans and a couple of other vines as well. Once they thicken up and start flowering I will post some pictures.
I have some dayliles in the yard as well as other types of lilies. These are some of the new lilies I have planted this year.
They sit in one of a pair of cement flower beds that belonged to my great-grandmother before she passed away. They've gone from Atlanta to Florida back to Georgia over the last 40 years. I don't know exactly how old they are but I do know she had them before I was born. My grandmother and great-aunt had them for years and then they went to my mom who brought them out to me a couple of years ago. It means quite a bit to me to have them sitting on my front walk.

These are gorgeous - I love the 'old' plants in my garden. They are like friends which come to say Hello every spring :)
I love the colour!
I played too :)
