You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.” Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

Hope you have found some time to walk about in the outdoors and marvel at what Mother Nature has to offer. A friend and I visited a local nursery this afternoon and oh ... the beautiful color. With all the wonderful warm weather, our hearts and mind are of the yard, springtime, flowers, planting. Yet, Mother Nature might tell us to slowdown! Forecast for the area south of us, Raleigh about 55 miles, is forecast mid 30's for the next three nights. And that could certainly mean freezing for us. A frost advisory has been issued. So guess better put the water on the tender grapes/asparagus. The DAYLILIES will come thru this unscathed! Daylilies are such a great perennial that are very forgiving and so adaptable.

Keep daylilies on your list of "have to have" purchases for this year. Here are a few, to peak your interest ....
