Ryann Chelsea in the Rain

Oh . . . the fragrance of this little gem is straight from heaven.  Mmmmmm... delish. 

It's hard to say what's more exciting.  The fact that the Ryann Chelsea Plumeria is actually open or the rain that fell.   Yes!  Those are REAL raindrops, not the kind that come out of a spray bottle.  We only got a trace, but it was a very welcome trace.  

The humidity is definitely up.  I can tell because my lenses are fogging up for the first time this summer.  Maybe that will condense into some more rain.  Otherwise, going outside is like walking into a sauna. UGH!   I keep reminding myself that some people pay lots of money to sit in a steam bath.  We get it for free.

Waiting for Ryann Chelsea (SOOC)

The anticipation is just almost too much to bear.  Last fall I bought two plumeria cuttings.  Because they were only rooted last year, I really didn't expect any blooms this summer.  Still, the Ryann Chelsea variety has been taunting me for several weeks with the promise of blossoms.  

Watching the twisted buds grow and start to explode has been very exciting, but then, I just get excited about things like that.    You can't imagine the self-discipline it takes to keep from reaching in and trying to help them unfurl.  Yes, I know better . . . learned that lesson many long years ago when I tried to help rush a rose bud.  

So I'm waiting . . . Maybe tomorrow.

Mama Sorenson's Daylily

Passed down for at least  four generations, this daylily got its start in my great grandmother's yard.  Thanks to my mother, enough bulb sets have been salvaged and passed along so that my brothers and I as well as our aunts and uncles and  cousins  have them too.   I guess that makes these an heirloom variety in their own right. 

The heat has pretty well zapped mine for the rest of the year, but I can count on them coming back again.

Sunflowers

The sunflowers we grew pooped out a long time ago.  Thank goodness for grocery store florists.

Remember the Plumeria that blew into the pool earlier this summer?  It survived.
