  1. I'm transplanting this gift pot of yellow #daylilies, outdoors. We don't keep any lilies inside. They're extremely toxic to cats.

  6. Good morning. ☕☕☕

    15 April 2026

    My wife planted these Barbados lilies in two large pots outside our back door nearly twenty years ago, and they still come back every spring. It must be the perfect spot — just the right balance of sun and shade — because they return like clockwork.

    Thinking about the lilies reminded me of the year a colony of yellow jackets decided to build a nest in one of those same pots. I’m usually a live‑and‑let‑live kind of guy when it comes to wildlife, but that was too close for comfort. They had to go — evicted without prejudice.

    That brought back another backyard memory from the day I was pressure‑washing the fence. A mud dauber had built a nest on one of the boards, and when I blasted the water across it, the wasp took offense. It came straight at me and stung me on my right ear. After that, we had ourselves a little battle, and the wasp didn’t stand a chance against high‑pressure water. My ear, however, paid the price — swollen and oversized for days.

    How would I describe the pain of a mud dauber sting? Sharp and hot, like a quick jab of electricity. It doesn’t last long, but the swelling certainly does.

    I still have the pressure washer, but these days I hire someone else to handle the job. No more backyard duels for me.

    That said, when I was doing the pressure‑washing myself, half the job was dragging the machine from one section of fence to the next. One guy I hired showed up with a washer and several lengths of hose hooked together. Genius. And for me, a big duh — why hadn’t I thought of that.

  7. Assuming it’s good to do, how do you “deadhead” lilies? Just cut the faded drying flowers off? Or cut the stem of the flower off at the base of the plant?
    I planted about 30 bulbs of 3 types of lilies last November and “this is my first time.” 😊

  8. Abstract Peruvian Lilies And Mums

    An image of delicate white Peruvian #lilies that includes bright yellow accents from cheerful #chrysanthemums set a soft and dreamy tone. Digitally hand painted in #CorelPainter from one of my own photos and given a fun #abstract look.

  9. My #DragonLilies are developing new foliage & new stalks have sprouted. They're also known as vampire lily & voodoo lily; in Greece, they're known as #drakondia. #DracunculusVulgaris helps with attracting more pollinators in cultivated gardens with it's unpleasant rotting meat smell, when it flowers.

  11. The lilies are waterlogged like everything else, but blooming.

    And something laid eggs in my petunias.
