Another Bloom to Share......


This daylily is one of my favorites.  It has such striking line design down the middle of each petal and the colors are so strong.  I bought this at the Arboretum that is north of us about 10 miles by the way a c row flies.  It is a crooked road to get there because of the Des Moines river.  A bird could fly there in an instant but to drive there requires many turns back and forth going north to get to a main highway in which again we turn off of and we come back south again. That also is a crooked road with lots of turns as you wander down.  Normally one pays to visit the place but on Saturdays with there are plant sales you can visit for free. I bought this one a day when they were having their daylily sales.  I think they also have a hosta sale on one weekend.
