One of the great things about gardening is
that when the huge wave of summer does finally break,
and its leaping curve of green flings into every garden
a marvellous iridiscent spray of petals, in colours our language hasn't
caught up with yet, its joyful and indiscriminate tide lifts everyone off their
feet - both proper gardeners and people like me........

I miss my beautiful Hemerocallis ..Daylilly plants.
I found them so easy to grow. Once the plant started to bloom the colours were spectacular.
Here above are just a few....by name... Mary Todd, Frans Hals, Red Magic, Farytale Pink.
In 2005 I planted 20 Hemerocallis in the front garden.
Just remembering all the gorgeous flowers
that once were.
It's raining here today and I thought this just might bring a ray of sunshine into your homes!
As always thanks for all your lovely comments.
I have some Day lilies to they are soo pretty . If you have space plant more I would . We had a few thunderstorms here this morning and then by late afternoon the sun came out till it set at 7:30pm didn't get dark till after 8pm I love it . Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
ReplyDeleteOk Linda! You can start planting these beauty's in your new home!!!
ReplyDeleteNo room in my gardens for daylilies. But I did plant some tiger lilies in my ditch.
DeleteThey are beautiful...I love Daylillies; however, so do the deer....it was a battle that I lost!
ReplyDeleteFunny the deer here seem to leave them alone. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI'm a huge day lily fan too! I've been known to spend quite a bit for a single cutting. But I was lucky enough to have a friend who had an amazing collection of hybrids which she shared with me. I moved some of them from the old garden when we came to TBurg and they are now doing nicely after 4 summers. They are all just peeking through the ground now, giving me hopes of a colourful summer ahead.
ReplyDeleteThere is no room here for any day lily here so I planted some tiger lillies in the ditch.
DeleteThey are a beautiful pop of colour on this snowy day! I love the photo of them in front of your veranda. Have you tried growing them at your new home?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day lilies and the colors are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love day lilies too. They are hearty plants. That's one plant that I don't have to worry about here. We've had good luck with them. Yours are so pretty out in front of your house.
