Some the rabbits didn't get...
Here's a few blooming in my garden now that I managed to save from the rabbits. They are a quite a problem this year and seemed to really zero in on the lily bed .

- This is the only stem of this variety (of 7!!!) that I managed to save. The flower is very similar to one Claudia (nanny56) posted of Polka Dot Bikini. This one was hybridized by a man in MN who used to operate the telegraph during WWII, thus the name.

- This is one that is pale yellow and when it first opens it has a peach blush to it that fades out as the flower ages.

The rabbits here seemed to fancy my lilies too. Those are lovely. 
Spiderman is really cool!

That Dots & Dashes is different! I love the background to it. Is that available to purchase? I've never heard of it before?
Glad you were able to enjoy at least some the varmits didn't get to!
danged bunnies!
I'm so glad they stay to the clover type plants around here. Worse damage we've seen from them is girdling young trees in the worst of winters we've had.
