Melting Monday ....

Yes, what a HOT day. The temperature is mid 90's with heat index above 105. WOW. That is hot for us humans, but goats are basking in the sun. How is the weather in other parts of the world? Ret, how is it in Arizona? Paul/Janet how is it in Florida?
When outside walking through daylilies today, had bottled water close at hand and a 2 quart container with ice (melting very quickly) in the wagon just in case more was needed. There's nothing better than cool, not cold water on such a hot day as this.

So many daylilies are blooming today. Our Going Grape Now daylily is looking the best that it has ever looked. It is a very deep purple daylily. It receives sun all day and sometimes will get that color faded look. This year, however, Going Grape Now is really striking.

Hemerocallis Going Grape Now

This daylily presents about 18" tall, 5" bloom, and is deep purple with ruffled edges and green throat. We sell it for $8.00.


Hemerocallis Just for Fun

This daylily grows to height of about 2', has a 7" bloom, and is a yellow and pink bitone with green throat. Our price is $8.00 per fan.

Hemerocallis Ferris Wheel

This daylily is about 4 1/2' tall, is said to be fragrant, is a red self with gold throat and is a "spider" with a ratio of 5.30:1, meaning that it is 5 1/2" long and 1" wide. Very nice, pretty daylily in the garden. It sells for $8.00 here at Oakville Farm.
