Hello

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful. ~Abram L. Urban

Busy day ahead for most, Monday, ya know.

I have been watchful for daylily scapes. Scapes are the flower stalks. The Stella de Oro is our first daylily to bloom. So I was looking for a scape, just one .... but not yet. They usually bloom the second week of May, maybe I am overly anxious, well, with all the lush foliage growth, it is no wonder!

Our "Specials" daylily for today is Jubilee Pink. This daylily presents as dormant and blooms in mid to late time of the bloom season. It is about 2 1/2' tall. It is pink with a green throat. The term throat refers to the innermost center of the bloom where the pistil and stamen join the bloom. Sometimes the throat is a different color than the rest of the bloom, sometimes not. For the Jubilee Pink, the entire bloom, including the throat is pink. Another feature of the Jubilee Pink, is that it is fragrant. When the sun hits it after many hours, you will have a light pleasing scent. Jubilee Pink is on sale for $2.00 and offers many pleasing characteristics. So check it out on our website: www. oakvillefarm.com

And until next time, Happy Gardening.
