Again, this doesn't look like much

Some scraggly looking plants, the beginning of yet another perennial bed. Flower gardening takes imagination (lots) and patience (extreme levels sometimes). So look at this scraggly mess and picture it filled with this and this and this and this and ... See where this is going?

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".
