Believe it or not there ARE flowers in my garden that aren't Hydrangeas. There are quite a few Day Lily varieties starting to come on.

At my previous home I had more Lilies than I have now, but they were left behind in a wintertime move. I guess it just means I get to collect all over again (sigh, the chore of having to pick out flowers...well, if someone has to do it...).

I've been adding a few to the garden every year. There are always such new and interesting varieties and colors every year its hard to choose. I tend toward the reds when it comes to Day Lilies, but lots of colors end up in the garden.

It starts for me with the Stella D'Oro (gold), but I've already shared those with you. Here is what opened today


Orangutan is actually oranger than this photo shows.


Black Eyed Stella


Purple D'Oro
Lots of buds coming on this baby...

Yours are gorgeous. I have decided that there will be more Lilies in my garden next year. I want some reds and blacks.

They are really beautiful chitweed. I like the red ones best of all too. Then I think I really like them all.;~) Do you do anything special for your daylilys? Jo

I don't do anything fancy for them I just give them a bit of Espoma plantone fertilizer in the spring. It takes care of them all summer.

Beautiful daylilies, the orang is my favorite. I don't have any of the D'Oro's yet, they now have a pink one that I want next year.
