Passion Moon Lily

Elegant trumpet-shaped flowers in a striking shade of dusky maroon pink. Petals have an extensive edge of creamy white with just a hint of soft yellow. 'Passion Moon' is large, vigorous, floriferous and naturalizes readily. These incredible Giant Lilies with classic colours and large, impresssive blooms will create a garden masterpiece. Once established, their size will astound you. Each bulb can produce dozens of flower buds that open in succession, lasting for weeks. Height 72-78".

Planted in an eastern exposure flower bed by a large sundeck with good sun amongst other asiastic lilies in Norglenwold on October 12, 2021.

Canadian Freedom Tulip Blend

This tulip mix includes blooms of snow white with a flamboyant red flame 'Carnaval De Rio', 'Pacific Pearl' with its dazzling red, intricately fringed petals and the perfectly egg-shaped 'Royal Virgin' with the purest, most sparkling white petals you'll ever see. Height 16-22".

Planted October 12, 2021 in the front flower bed with full sun in Norglenwold.

Siberian Iris

June 2021

Siberian Iris are tall, graceful plants with slim, grassy foliage. They are suitable for borders, wild gardens, and along edges of ponds, but not for growing in water. Originating in an area spanning from northern Italy across Turkey and into southeastern Russia, the Siberian Iris does not actually grow in Siberia.

Once again I thought this was Old Faithful but " An award winning variety with stunning rose shaped blooms. Flowers are a true red, the reddest Peony you'll find, and as an added bonus, a stunning yellow center when fully opened."

I think this is the Armani Peony but thought the Armani was "Armani is one of the darkest peonies we've ever seen. Ruby-red flowers evolve to a beautiful burgundy-red." Will continue to observe the flowers through the years to confirm.
