TGIF

Yes, it is Friday. And what plans do you have for this upcoming weekend? Hope it will include working in your garden/yard. And hope daylilies will be a part of it all. You know, besides looking good in the yard, one can cook the daylily blossoms. I have not tired it, but my Great Aunt told of eating fried daylily blossoms. She battered the daylily blossom, fried it and ate it like eating fried squash. Anyone ever eaten cooked daylily blossoms? And good recipes for daylily parts? Let us know. :)

As I was perusing the daylilies this morning, a very short lived, rain shower drizzled down. The dogs and I quickly retreated to a corkscrew willow tree for cover. It only lasted for a few minutes. We were quickly out from under the tree, examining newly opened daylily cultivars.

Hemerocallis Tuscawilla Tigress

This large midseason blooming daylily presents a bloom size of over 7". It is bright orange and is a rebloomer. Tuscawilla Tigress sells for $9.00 per fan. It is nice daylily surprise to have open up in your garden in midseason.

Hemerocallis Tuxedo

This dark purple daylily presents about 2 1/2' tall, a 5" bloom and is a rebloomer. It blooms in midseason. We sell this daylily for $10.00 per fan. Would this look good in your garden/yard? We found that it is a good accent next to a yellow daylily. Although Tuxedo has a green throat, a yellow daylily near it, pulls the green throat up and makes it pop. Does look very good in a combination with lighter colored daylilies.


Hope you have a great day. Check with us often, as new daylilies are added for purchase, http://www.oakvillefarm.com Until next time, Happy Gardening.
