366 of Me: Day 151
After yesterday’s post of my half eaten lilies after being moved to their new home, I was shocked the next day to find that one of them still managed to bloom. And oh what a beautiful bloom it is despite the fact that it has no leaves. Hey rabbits, the lilies will not be defeated!!

Attack of the rabbits! Here’s what’s left of some of my lilies that weren’t so fortunate this year. These were planted in the ground, but a friend told me to move them into a flower pot to get them up off the ground and the rabbits will leave them alone. I cut the bottom of the pot off and dug it down into the ground a few inches to help the lilies during the winter. Hey, rabbits, we’re not running a salad bar! Lets hope the lilies survive next year!

I always buy annuals for the flower pots on our porch. I usually do 4 pots, but this year I only did 2. Thanks to squirrels or rabbits digging in them, they haven’t done so well in the past but the rodents seem to be leaving them alone this year.

The new iris bed I worked on last weekend. The bed isn’t too new. We installed it earlier this year but planted it with annuals. I transplanted most of those to hanging baskets to make room for these irises. A lot of of our newer irises did not bloom this year. I read that if they are put into established beds they compete with older plants for nutrients and may not bloom. So, I transplanted a lot of them to their own bed. “Stick to your own kind, one of your own kind…” Lets hope they are happy and will bloom next year!

We got a late start planting our banana trees this year but they are already sprouting up and looking good. Babies too!

More lilies…
It’s kind of sad because all we have left are the tiger lilies and the sedums. When they bloom, we’ve reached the end of our growing season and some of the tigers have already opened up.

The lilies are blooming! Well…some of them. The rabbits devoured a lot of them. If you look close, you’ll even notice the bottom of these are missing a lot of their leaves. But some of them managed to outgrow the rabbits’ height and bloom.
