Saturday

Hello All

Hope everyone has had a good day. It was so very very windy here today. Although the temp reached 60+, the wind made it feel very cold.

Would like to add Liza to our list of online daylily purchasers. Thank you.

We have added five new daylilies to our list ... Big Apple,
Ivory Gown
, Hot Town, Stolen Treasure and Royal Braid. Check them out on our website: www. oakvillefarm.com

Want to showcase Hemerocallis Mary Todd from our "Specials"
section. Mary Todd is an early bloomer, a tetraploid and semi-evergreen. The term tetraploid refers to having four sets of chromosomes. Some say that in tetraploids: blooms tend to be larger, bloom color tends to be more intense, and scapes tend to be stronger. Mary Todd daylily is buff in color; brown yellow, if you will. And in the case of Mary Todd, the bloom is a strong, showy one. The width, in my term, is large, more than 5" across. A very pretty daylily. It grows about 2 1/2' tall. It would present beautiful, in contrast with a dark red or purple daylily. This daylily is now on special for $2.00. Get them while they last. :)

Guess this is all for now. Until next time, Happy Gardening.
