"It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes
And pleasant scents the noses."

-  Nathaniel Parker Willis

Hope everyone had a good weekend and will begin this work week with new vigor. 

Daylilies are very very showy here at Oakville Farm.  Which daylilies are blooming in your yard?  And which are your favorite?  So many cultivars to choose from, oh my!!!!

Here are a few to peak your interest ....


Karen Sue

Daylily Karen Sue is a rose and cream bicolor with a cream throat.  Bicolor means that the petal segments are a totally different color than the sepal segments.  It is a mid season bloomer standing about two feet tall.  Bloom size is over five inches. 

Rainbow Candy

Daylily Rainbow Candy is a cream with purple lavender gray and yellow eyezone.  It is an early mid season rebloomer.  It stands over two feet tall and shows a bloom of greater than four inches.  The petals (top three segments) have ruffled edges.  Also fragrant. 

Please check out Oakville Farm for other great "bloomers".  Have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
