the right side of the house (if you’re looking at it from the street) is the part of the house i never see. there’s nothing good over there; just the A/C unit… and some giant, teenage mutant ninja flowers. apparently my A/C unit leaks out a floral growth hormone into the soil.
these things are as tall as me. granted, i’m not tall, okay? but still, they’re growing taller than the fence.
i don’t know what kind of flowers they are. probably something like the Common Alabama Purty Flower. they’re the kind of flower that you stick your nose in to smell, and your nose comes out covered in yellow/orange pollen, and it looks like your nose has been eating cheetos.
the house next door (it’s empty right now) also has flowers growing on the same side as my A/C unit and i think they are benefitting from the FGH as well.
‘at’s a yaller’n.
‘at’s a red’n.
i’m amazed at these flowers that grow on their own. i didn’t plant them and i don’t water them or weed them or do anything to them. i did try to cut the bushes back from Anna’s Rose Bush (on the creek side of the house), and this spring the roses did bloom. but now the brush has grown back through the roses and kinda choked it or something. it looks like hell now. i’m going to have to cut that junk out at the ground or something. it’s just too hot to do it now. maybe by december.
oh but who cares about stinky ol’ flowers? we all know you came here for the roxy!
cookie, you come pet me, okay?
aw, she’s trying to sniff your hand.

Them Common Alabama Purty Flowers is also known as Day Lillies. Yes, they do come in yaller, raid, and arnge varieties. If you split them out, you’ll keep getting more. They get happier that way. I could use some yaller and raid ones myself. All I got is the arnge ones.
ooo, how do you “split them out”?
i wouldn’t mind having those flowers line the fence on that side of the yard.
I gots some of dem purty day lilies myself in the yard. I would see dem on the side of the road and dig em up right like and planted em in da yard. My favorite ar dem yella ones. So purty they are. And they come back for foreva and eva.

Ya knaw, my Gee-Jay done always haive day leelees. Them flowers draw up at night, dawn’t they?
Yessiree, they do come back foreva and eva! And yes, they draw right up and drop oft at night, thus the name “day lilly.”
To split em out, I just git me a shovel and drive it thru the clump, choppin’ off smaller clumps. They really do seem to like being split out, cause they just keep making more an more. That Terica’s got the right idear, if you need some, and don’t have a friend to steal some from, you can just drive down the road and gitcha some off’n the side o the road. I saw some on Green’s Valley just Sunday when I was out joy ridin.’
Oh, hell’s skillet! I can’t keep that southern dialect up…
hi chris! OMG they’re called tiger lillies too?! tiger lilly sounds way more awesome than day lilly. my flowers are fuckin’ carnivorous. tatdow!
