Fancy with Frills......


The hybrid daylily is so much larger than most of all my others in the garden. The colors are subtle and rich in nature and the ruffles makes it look like a fancy curtain. It does bloom like a regular daylily as it puts out a new bloom about every two days.  I am amazed at how they shrivel up after their bloom time so quickly. You can see it do that overnight like the one that is shown in the background above the good bloom.

We  had a heavy rain on Monday while we were in Des Moines and so many blooms were beat up from it.  I have sunflower plants all leaning as if the rain was just to hard on them to stand up.  I am hoping the stand up straight with a sun shiny day.

This is a beauty. Mama and I had a very similar looking daylily named "Ida." (which was mama's grandmother's name)

Morning Clouds….

 The sun won’t be blocked by these clouds. I had to lean way over the end of the deck to get the sun in the shot. As the earth keeps tilting...
