When you plant a cottage garden without a plan things come up and surprise you. I had forgotten that I had this form of a tiger lily. There is a special name for this but it isn't a true tiger lily.
Another recent surprise bloom in the cottage gaden was this day lily. It is different than all the others that I have. Unfortunately it is planted right next to an iris plant. I can know how that happens but I will have to move some things. They both will get dug at the same time as they are that close to each other.
A new phlox that I bought a couple of years ago is still struggling. I am sure it is too crowded but it was planted during the two years of drought so it hasn't had a chance to get rooted in solidly.
The is a phlox with the same story. It will get established with me watering it often. It isn't so crowded . It just takes a few years to get going.
It was 77° F. already when I went outside to work. I spread a sack of dirt along my new stairs to help make a dip in the yard that goes along it. I moved a hoasta today and split it up into five plants. Iwill have to water every single day to keep them alive. I did go around to photograph a few new things. I am at the point that I have too many shots of flowers. I am trying to find ne things to shoot. I am inside already by 11:00 as it was too hot. I hit the showers and then rest after working outside.
Stay safe out there.

Nice! I just saw a white phlox blooming in our garden and since all of these were transplants, I was super surprised. I have never added to the flowers, just split them and moved them.
