March 31 ...

The end of the month. The end of the first quarter of 2011. March, in like a lion, out like a lamb? Oh my! It continues to be cool and overcast today. Possible rainshowers this afternoon.

Went out this morning, walked by the daylilies. They grow in rows. And from the heavy amount of rain over the past few days, I was not able to walk through the daylilies, just past them. And the lush green foliage, oh my, the daylilies are looking so good.

Another one of our daylilies in the "Specials" section that we would like to highlight is the Hemerocallis Ferris Wheel. This pretty daylily is termed a "spider". Very simply, that means that the length of the daylily tepals are longer than they are wide, usually a 4:1 ratio. It is red and displays a yellow throat. It is dormant, dying back in the winter. And blooms in mid season, mid June here in Zone 7. We have it on special for $2.00 per fan. Be sure and check out our website http://www.oakvillefarm.com/ for this "Special" and other daylilies which will be the perfect flower for your yard/garden.
