Hello

What another great day for daylilies. Here at Oakville Farm, 90% of our daylilies are blooming. Yes, they are looking very very good. Hope your yard is full of beautiful bloomers. And which is your favorite today?

Skies are overcast this morning, which makes for a good color on daylilies. I like to take photos of daylilies, and at many times of day, at different angles from the sun, during overcast/gray skies, bright sunny days. Each various time makes for a unique view of daylilies. I so do love Mother Nature, hope you find beauty in her as well.

Hemerocallis Druid's Chant

This showy daylily presents 2' tall, large bloom ( about 6.5"), is a rebloomer, is fragrant and is deep lavender with purple eyezone and green throat. Very nice. We sell this for $16.00.


Hemerocallis Open Hearth

About 2 1/2' tall, 9" bloom, red cooper bitone with halo and green throat. Our scapes (stems) stand over 3' tall this year. So the bloom is standing out above other daylilies. This daylily is considered a spatulate. Spatulate makes reference to the fact that the tepals (flower segments) are wider at the ends.

Guess this is all for now. Please visit us at http://www.oakvillefarm.com/ Until next time, Happy Gardening.
