A Couple More Daylilies

I just had to add some more daylily photos to show some different sizes. 

Have a look at this spider type, a good 9 inches across

and then this petite, barely 2 inch flower which is a sweet little thing.

I had to wait for this one to come out so I could put up the pic and as you can see by the droplets we're getting rain again!

This time I'm quite happy to see rain as I bumped one of the Philidelphus while mowing and even though I watered it immediately, the rain and cooler day will hopefully help it settle back in. It was a piece taken from the outside of the mother plant we had to remove 2 years ago to make way for a fence. It kind of struggled along last year, but this year started to grow some longer branches and is flowering. I'll be annoyed with myself if it keels over.
So far I've tipped out about 27mm. Some of the cuttings I put in of various plants are looking promising and they will benefit too. 

Every year I'm intrigued by the Allium ampeloprasum and its cover splitting and turning into a papery pointed cap.

I only became aware about 10 years ago that the bulbs are edible but I've yet to try them.
They are  always just there in summer, at the back of the border swaying in the wind.

We had a warm day yesterday which made my pretty yellow Asiatic lilies pop open in a hurry.
They look to have multiplied since last year.
