Kindly Light

We got seven new varieties of daylilies Saturday. This one, Kindly Light, had finished blooming so there weren't any flowers to cut for vases. You can see why I had to have it. I'm still kicking myself for not bringing the camera to Swallow Hill. Just try and picture 300 varieties of daylilies blooming all at once. Incredible!

A daylily with the term spider attached to it refers to the bloom form. In all other aspects it is a normal daylily. The 'American Hemerocallis Society' defines a spider formed daylily as "a bloom whose petal length is 4 times the petal's width".
