It's quite drought resistant and tough but like a lot of plants appreciates a rich soil. I pretty much think of it as a summer bloomer. Scutellaria integrifolia is a spring bloomer but will repeat until frost. S. ovata is a good one too.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-5703766652490029242009-08-11T19:29:49.583-05:002009-08-11T19:29:49.583-05:00That orange lily is stunning.

A previous homeowner planted him, and he was the only reason I kept my cool when I thought about all of the other not-so-nice things that owner left behind.

They are still very scarce here. Your pictures are beautiful. I like the thought of dirty hands & iced tea too. I planted one globe thistle in early summer and I think its never gotten enough sun for its liking. Sitting there still about six inches high. Your photos inspire me to move it into a better position. That oriental lily is beautiful, I love the soft pink shade. <br />On the subject of lilies, the 'black beauty' I blogged about is only 3' tall but was just planted this May. I believe the tags said it would reach a height of 36 to 48". However Frances left me a comment that hers were 7' tall. Mine is planted in partial shade ~ that might keep it smaller??Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-388866526783558162009-08-10T21:10:01.535-05:002009-08-10T21:10:01.535-05:00Great pictures of flowers and butterflies.

I'm just about ready to take a nap--pooped out from helping youngest Daughter pack for a big move--and these images are so soothing, I think I might dream of them while asleep:) The butterflies have started to visit here, too, the past week or so. I took about a dozen photos of a black swallowtail on the verbena and salvia this morning, but it wouldn't stop moving! You did a great job in capturing these winged creatures.

I have one plant, started this year, but have to fight off the rabbits, so he's only a foot high from the "pinching back" done by the critters.
