Father to three great kids. I garden in the summer. This account is selfishly devoted to my hobby. Ignore the weeds please. I will eventually pull them.

This may be the last of my iris blooms. Warmer weather comes to Iowa in the next few days. #iris #perenial #flowerphotography #flower #blooms #gardenphotography

Iris, peonies, and snow on the mountain. I really should dig the snow on the mountain but the iris and peony don’t seem to mind it. #perennials #iris #peonies #peony #flowers #flower #gardenphotography

“John Bassill” refuses to disappoint! I started with a single fan two years ago and the plant has grown into itself. #daylily #johnbassill #daylilies #flower #flowerphotography #GardenersWorld #perenial

A beautiful, cool summer morning in Iowa. The days are long and the daylilies have been wonderful! On the left “Adventures in Oz” (Herrington-H. ‘14) and “Boy’s Night Out” (Davisson-J. ‘15). #daylily #daylilies #flowerphotography #flowers #GardenersWorld #GardeningTwitter

Another daily dose of daylilies! Just what the doctor ordered. The roaring red flower is “Dragon King” and its complement is “Russian Easter.” #daylily #daylilies #garden #flowerphotography #GardenersWorld #gardenphotograohy

Seedling at 8AM and 8PM, I love the thin white edge. The flower has grown well, 27” tall scapes, and the bud count is lower than I would like. I may try a back cross to a parent flower or a cross with a sibling. Thoughts? #daylily #daylilies #flower #garden

Daylily "Pink Extraordinaire" (Pierce '16) lived up to its name today. In my Iowa garden the scapes are 24" tall and the bud count is less than 10. I started with a single fan three years ago and I now have three fans.

"Hold My Breath" has really come into its own. Big 7" blooms on 30" scapes. This year, the plant is showing immediate rebloom and has sent up an additional set of scapes. Wonderful flower!

Daylily "Monster" (Pettus '75) grows like crazy, has huge 9" blooms, and holds its own as a 50 year old plant! If you decide to add "Monster" to your garden, you won't be disappointed.
