First and Last

So I went about my garden taking note of all the "last" daylilies -- plants whose blooms are all but spent for the season -- and I was amazed to discover a first bloom among them. I think this is the final one in my collection, Royal Palace Prince.

I checked, and although it has bloomed as early as July 29 in earlier, drier years, last year (also wet) it bloomed on August 14, too. (A remarkably consistent plant!) Now, here are some daylilies that are just finishing up their season today.

And, since we're awfully close to Garden Blogger's Bloom Day, I'll include a few photos of things other than daylily blooms.
