Oakville Farm Daylily Blog

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

Do you have a seat/chair/resting spot near your garden or in your yard? It is a "must have". One needs to have several outdoor seating areas, where possible. My favorite spot growing up, was the glider on my Great Aunt's porch. Spent many an hour there, watching the storms coming down the Ohio River, looking for the spider lilies popping thru the ground near yard's edge and being aware that any moment the hummingbird's would zoom past my head ... headed for the bee balm.

Now, my favorite seat is anywhere outdoors ... on the ground, on a rock, bench, seat of tractor. Oh the "beauts" one can see outside.

How about the daylily Red Twister? Red Twister is a red bitone. The term bitone refers to the fact that the inner segments and outer segments are tints of the same color. This pretty specimen is large, being over 6" in diameter. Is a midseason bloomer and sells for $5.00 per double fan. It would compliment orange daylilies, yellow daylilies, or make a nice stand alone daylily.

Hope you have a good day. Please sure and check us out, Oakville Farm, and until next time, Happy Gardening.
