Good Evening.....

Hope everyone had a good day.

We had sad news this morning. One of our friends passed away at the young age of 60. Jerry was a symbol of our local town, Warrenton. An icon if you will. He was a friend to everyone. And to all his family we say...we are sorry for your loss. He will be sorely missed.

Jerry worked at a local flower shop and composed some beautiful arrangements. Although daylilies did not hold up well in arrangements, cut daylilies can be a colorful sight in a flower vase. Each bud opens for one day, but then others open for days to come. Cut some, place in a nice vase and watch the beauty unfold.

Want to say Thanks to Molly and Susan for visiting us at Oakville Farm today. They picked out some great daylilies.

Isn't it such a nice surprise to see the new daylilies that bloom each morning? We have several that have yet to bloom, so I anxiously await those. Still can not pick out a favorite daylily, can you? Is the favorite because of a Name? Color? Height? Each daylily has its uniqueness and each is so.....well daylilies are just a wonderful perennial. Haven't found a daylily yet that I didn't like! Please visit our daylily website: http://www.oakvillefarm.com/ to find the perfect daylily just for you. Until next time, Happy Gardening.....
