"Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour."
- John Boswell

Yes, hope you enjoy many moments today!

Today we will showcase a few pink daylily cultivars.

Pink Super Spider

This daylily is termed as having an "unusual form". Meaning that the sepals or petals have a varied form, ie a "V" formation or shape, between the segments. It is a rose and pink blend daylily. It is a midseason bloomer which reblooms. It rises about three feet above the ground and its bloom size is near ten inches across. The green eyezone and throat present a good contrast.


Siloam Double Classic

The bright pink daylily with a green throat is a beautiful bloom. Stands about two feet tall and is near five inches in width. It blooms in mid season and is a double.

Siloam Art Moore


This peach pink dayily with a dark eyezone and green throat is quite showy. A small bloom, less than three inches wide, stands at the end of the eighteen inch scape. Makes for a nice foreground plant. It blooms mid season.



Bug's Hug

This hot pink dayily with dark eyezone and olive throat present a pretty specimen. It stands about two feet tall with a three inch bloom. This rebloomer begins its cycle in early mid season.



While at an office yesterday, was talking about daylilies and something came to mind. I was asked about the color of daylilies. So with over 65,000 cultivars, the variety of color hues is immense. "Pink" for example, there are light pink, peach, raspberry, hot pink, pale pink, rose, apricot, and on and on. All of the daylilies, in the wide range of colors, accent each other and other flowers/shrubs/trees/yard art in such a wonderful way. A magical way, if you will. So make that magic happen! Our website should up and running by month's end, www.oakvillefarm.com check back often.

Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
