garden update

three of the 'purple, my butt' daylilies are blooming today. they are really pretty, despite not being purple. the rudbeckia 'irish eyes' are starting a second wave of blooming. the wildflowers i started from seed are continuing to grow very slowly. they're at maybe 3 inches high. the caladiums are just starting to unfurl. all of the bulbs i planted in my last spree have broken ground which is quite a relief. the amaryllis i got from my mom's house in tallahassee continues to grow although it will not bloom in this climate. hosta 'baby bunting' is blooming. although the flowers are not the primary delight in a hosta, these are pretty big flowers for such a small plant and are a lovely purplish white. the balloon flowers are starting to bud. the buds are not yet big enough to look like balloons, but it won't be much longer. i presume the 'early girl' tomatoes continue to grow. there's almost a half dozen out there, but sylvia and i can't check due to the hordes of mosquitoes.

she's asleep

i picked sylvia up to hug her and let her fall asleep on me because she was getting too tense. she fell asleep and i put her back in her car seat. she woke up, but then her lids fell shut because she was just too sleepy. she's in her car seat and not her crib, but i think we're making progress. we did also have some time playing with the tunnel of doom (tm) so it hasn't all been trauma today.
