Skies are overcast/cloudy today and periodically the rain comes pouring down. Just had a 3 minute shower. Rest of the day has brought light showers, drizzle, downpours, cool temperatures and light wind. What welcome sights. :)
Walked through the daylilies during a lull this morning and am seeing many new scapes rising up. Oh yes, the rains are certainly a welcome necessity.
Had a question posed to us here at Oakville Farm. Someone wants to know about pigment color, the possibility of change of bloom color. After much research and much talk about pigment color and possible change, we found an article by Tom Hart: http://www.hartsdaylilies.com/Colors/flowercolor.htm . It may give you an insight to pigment change. If you find other useful information, please pass it on to us. Thanks.
For daylilies, they need 6-8 hours of sunlight each day, an inch of rain per week during scape time, fertilizing in spring and late summer and need plenty of room to flourish. A daylily will provide you with many years of beautiful blooms. Visit our website http://www.oakvillefarm.com/ to find the right daylily .... just for you.
Until next time, Happy Gardening.
