| Red Day Lily |
I leave today for the east coast, but wanted to post some pics of the CB garden before I go. I had a couple Day Lilies bloom the last couple days as a nice 'goodbye' from the garden. I also have another foxglove than bloomed that is a subtle dusty rose color. Once you get close to these, you see the detailed pollination biology that's going on to entrap passing insects. . .

So, with an installation of 'before and after' pictures, I leave the valley in eager anticipation of next spring. Hopefully the snows will come as it's become pretty apparent that we need a big snow pack for things to thrive up here (surprise, surprise. . . ). Although our season is so short up here, like most things around these parts, it makes up for it in intensity and our blooms at 9,000ft seem brighter and more vibrant. Maybe it's just from looking at a fairly monochrome landscape for most of the year. . . .
