Happy Birthday America,

the United States of America

Happy 4th of July.....

Hope everyone is having a safe holiday weekend.

Oakville Farm was represented in the local 4th of July parade in Wise, NC, yesterday. I decorated the Gator then drove the parade route which was about a mile long.

It was so good to see spectators displaying American flags, wearing patriotic attire and smiling and waving all the way. That was such a fun parade. Folks watching and helping to celebrate our nation's birthday. Food, live music, crafts and games for kids were available after the parade. Family and friends came "home" to share in the festivities. I saw several folks who I had not seen since last year :) Hope I can say for everyone who attended the activities in the Wise Baptist Church parking area, that fun and fellowship was shared by one and all.

Had someone at the parade ask which of the daylilies was my favorite. (A very popular question, you know). Could not answer which ONE was fave! I had several blooms in the back of the Gator, ie Big Kiss, Olympic Gold, Hyperion, El Desperado, so we discussed those. And guess I decided that El Desperado was the fave for yesterday. Today though, well ..... not sure. How 'bout ......

This pretty yellow green daylily with a green throat is a great rebloomer. It stands almost 3' tall and rises above the foliage. We sell this daylily for $4.00 per fan.
