yesterday i visited my brother, a day lily breeder, in the boston area of massachusetts. this garden is about 2 weeks behind us here in lower ny. i hope he forgives me for posting this slightly faded tulip first in my blog, but it is so splashy, i couldn't resist.
my brother likes to collect unusual plants. here he is exposing the shy mouse-tailed ginger (note unopened bud at bottom.)
proud fern opening against the rust color of the house...
uvualria grandiflora...
bleeding heart vine, which will have yellow flowers, up against the house. The house is being renovated, but the colors and textures here are a photog's dream...
day lillies in the back yard. my brother has planted 3000 day lily seedlings this year. some of these have the mysterious "spring blight."
day lily i.d. tags on a fence...

I see you and your brother share a love of unusual plants.
Are your parents gardeners too?
The ginger flower is amazing. Love the fern too. Wonderful photo!
Wow, what a lot of daylilies!
That copper beech is gorgeous!
Glad you had a nice visit.
