I was a bit tired out today so I did not do too many steps. I have not been sleeping too well recently.
I walked the dog and played disc golf with my son. I won this time by one point. We are pretty closely matched and it is a lot of fun to play together.
The wind was a bit of an issue again. I'm learning how to deal with it better but it does get tricky to figure it out when disc golfing.
This morning I took this picture of the stargazer lily growing in the backyard:
The plants have not been doing too well recently I think they are getting old or something. Most of the other lilies did not flower. I'm not sure how long they usually last but they were blooming very nicely for several years. I guess I need to replant them or something.
The other lilies that I purchased recently and planted in the front yard, did finally flower while we were on vacation. It looked like the color was much different than what was advertised. Perhaps it is better to buy that kind of stuff locally instead of over the internet. I did like the color though - it was just not what I was expecting. Hopefully they will come back up next year.
Thanks for reading! I always value your support and comments. The pictures were taken by me with my Galaxy S9+. Text and graphics copyright lightsplasher & litesplasher.
Beautiful and a colorful flower, what is more important is that you exercise body by involving yourself in activities
Thank you! Exercise is really important and I find that these reports have been helping me keep on track.
I love Stargazer Lilies! The profusion of color is so delicious looking! I thought the lilies should last for years as mine have and here is what they have to say:
Also, if they get too much-standing water, the bulb could rot.
As an aside some days are meant to be down days, but, at least you and your son are getting some playtime in! Enjoy your time! That is the best part of life!

Thank you for the detailed answer! I think maybe inconsistent watering was the problem. It either gets really wet or not watered much at all during the summer dry season. It is hard to water the backyard so maybe I will try to transplant them or buy some more bulbs to put in by the front yard.
@lightsplasher, Sleep is like battery 🔋 charing time and if we face difficult time to sleep definitely in one way or other it makes us restless. Good to hear that you've enjoyed and had fun with your sports time. Stay blessed.

Thank you, I slept a bit better last night and got around six hours so things are improving.
Welcome and good to know that.

The lily is beautiful. I stopped buying plants online because they aren't always what I expect. I also learned that it is easy to buy too many at one time. If I buy locally I know what I can plant at that time.
When the plants are shipped they often arrive rainy days or when I don't have time to plant them right away. The stress of getting planted takes away from the pleasure of gardening.
Buying local definitely has some advantages. I get lazy and don't like to go to the store though, so I tend to order a lot of stuff on-line. Most of the time it works out but sometimes I get stuff I would not have purchased if I saw it in a store.
Beautiful and amazing color mix. nice camera shots
