My first AHS Display Garden visit- Cat Lady's Garden installment

15 years ago

Karen and Glenn Schultz in Aurora, CO held their open garden today. What gracious hosts and a wonderful garden service. How amazing it is to see so many flowers in person that I may never have room to grow in my own garden.

After researching dl online all last winter it was incredible to see what some of the plants I've become so familiar with (and many new ones too) look like in person and especially in a full clump.

The garden is about 2 wks behind on peak bloom but still put on a wonderful show.

Here is my first installment of the 70 or so cultivars I managed to take before my camera batterie died out.

Spider bed first:

I really loved the size on Cheyenne Eyes

Love, Love, Love the huge pink flowers and tall stature on Piglet's Mom...this is now on my want list.

The color on Suddenly Fire was a real eye catcher

Oh, what a wonderful treat for the eyes. I could look at them over and over.
There's just no way I can pick a favorite - they're all beautiful!

Thanks for sharing them with us,

Hey, where are Cat Lady's cats? LOL I love your photos, especially Diabolique. I must have that one. Anyone who has it, I'm up for a trade.

Glad you are all enjoying these. I know I just love to view everyone's pictures even when I can't keep up to post replies...keep em coming everyone!

Debra,
The cats were there and a portion of her sales went to support a local charity for a spay/neuter program for stray cats.

But, darn it, my camera batteries ran out of juice before I got done with daylilies or I'd have taken some photos of the cats too.

It was a tough choice to make...cats vs daylilies... LOL

Thanks for posting! I know you must have enjoyed yourself. Lots of daylilies to see and visitors don't even have to do any weeding.
