Gloriosa Rothschildiana Lily

 also know as Climbing Lily, Southern Beauty Lily and Flame Lily. 
These plants can be found in old gardens through out the South.

Sunday while doing pictures for a friend I happened
 upon this one and quickly took some pictures to share

it is a vining  plant that will grow up to 5 feet high.
Notice that the tips of the leaves actually turn into little tentacles
 at the ends and twine onto anything that they can.

it's a beauty and I need to find one for myself.. 
 I say that every year..
and I can't believe it's June already!
 Hope each of you are having a great week I will be joining
 for her weekly garden party tomorrow
so come on back and join us..
 hugs, Cherry

Irises and roses for the garden party

Good morning hope everyone is well
 and enjoy the last days of May it has been so, so pretty
 around here. We have yet to reach 90 degrees and since I got started
 late on all my gardening chores this spring it sure has helped.

today I am sharing roses from SACGC Botanical Gardens,
and irises from the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens






one of my favorites






see the new observation tower in the background


this is what the iris bed looks like from the top of it...
This bed is only a couple year's old
what a treat it is going to be watching it grow...


I am smitten with this bright colorful mini


and this soft muted beauty..



I am joining Miss Tracie of
 Fishtail Cottage for her  weekly garden party
Come on and join us... 
lets go see all the pretties being shared today.
hugs, Cherry

Camellia's and is it really still January

Let me start out by saying it's plum hot this morning..
Yesterday I got a little tan while working in the yard,
 there is pollen everywhere and things are starting to bloom...

so much for winter and I guess these darn mosquitoes are here to stay

This morning I am sharing the rest of the Camellia's
from my trip out to the
Bamboo Farms and Coastal Gardens
 back before Christmas..

I think I need to make another trip to see what is in bloom now..

I know ya'll have heard me say it before...
 if you are close you should go see the farm while the
Camellia Trail is pretty special there so much more to see year around

pretty awesome

one of my favorites

this may be the only icicles we see this year
 which is way prettier than the real ones

have a wonderful week everyone
hugs, Cherry

Camellia's and Cookies

Good morning is everyone ready for Christmas.. My family will celebrate Sunday at momma's. I can't wait to see everyone and watch the little ones, their excitement is contagious. 
This time of year can be such a busy, stressful and even a sad time for some of us, so I decided it was time for a field trip to see some pretty camellia's.  I picked up momma and headed out to the Coastal gardens & bamboo farms 
to see what was blooming on the Judge Arthur Solomon Camellia Trail. The trail has grown a lot since last February so much so that momma could not walk the entire trail. 
As far as we could see there was beautiful camellia's blooming. If you are local or are coming to Savannah soon you must go .. If you have been before you must go back the entire farm has had major work and new additions just since I was there in early summer..

Here is a blog post and slideshow from my visit in February .. click here Judge Arthur Solomon Camellia Trail






this is just a few of what we saw, I will share more I promise. But first I have to get back to baking, painting and finishing Christmas gifts.


Have a few cookies and head over to
 Miss Susan's @ A Southern daydreamers
and see what everyone is sharing for Outdoor Wednesday..


hugs and Merry Christmas to everyone, Cherry
