Lilies

Lilies (and daylilies) figure prominently in my garden’s design.  So much, in fact, that they merit a planting feature all to themselves.  In the “Lily Patch,” Asiatic, Oriental, and trumpet lilies live and thrive in harmony with eight different varieties of daylily.  Although daylilies aren’t true lilies, and true lilies aren’t daylilies, I think they all get along together just fine and dandy.  Please feel free to read all about my creation of this planting feature, and the care I give its inhabitants in “Lilies: The Renaissance Garden Guy Way.”  And if you’d like to see how my Oriental lilies and daylilies perform throughout the month of July, click here to read my article (and see the pics) all about that very subject.  In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy these lily shots.  I’ll be adding more on a continual basis, so check in often right here.  Cheers, and Happy Gardening!

With the last of my Asiatic lilies completing their bloom cycle, and my Oriental 'Stargazers', 'After Eights', and 'Golden Stargazers', and my double Oriental roselilies 'Ramona' yet to bloom, my colony of 'Lotus Beauty' double Oriental lilies (pictured here) are the only true lilies currently blooming in my "Lily Patch" planting feature.

Fiskars 6” Micro-tip Pruning Snips.  This pruner is the absolutely perfect tool for cutting delicate stems and removing nodes from main stems when training or shaping a specific plant.  Its razor-sharp micro-tip steel blades are ideally suited for pruning smaller and soft-stemmed plants.  I have an older version of the same model and it’s remained just as razor-sharp, precise, and effective as it was on the day I took it out of its package.  I’ll never get rid of it.  I use mine for pruning and deadheading houseplants, succulents, and for all outdoor garden pruning that requires intricate, delicate, and precise cutting.  Click the #advertisement link to learn more, or to order it here, directly from Amazon.

My own Fiskars 6" Micro-tip Pruning Snips model is an older one, but it's still as sharp and precise as when it was brand new. It makes delicate, intricate cuts with surgical precision. I'll keep this outstanding, highly effective tool in my arsenal forever.
