Oh yes, daylily flowers are in abundance at this time of year. And looking out among the flowers will certainly bring a smile to your face. So, laugh, laugh, laugh, I say!
And while you are laughing, look at these daylilies ....
Martha Fawcett daylily is a nice reblooming dayily. It is a

Whooperee is a red daylily with a darker eyezone and green
throat. It has a large bloom, ie over 6", is a rebloomer and is a tetraploid. We sell the daylily for $8.00 per double fan.Just a note .... stated earlier was the term tetraploid. Tetraploid refers to the plant as having two sets of chromosomes ie, 44 chromosomes instead of the usual 22. It is said that a tetraploid gives the plant thicker scapes and tepals, the blooms are larger and the plant grows a bit slower than others.
Hope you have a good day. It is Monday! ... sometimes Monday's can be a bit hectic/troublesome/busy! If things get tense, just take a deep breath and think what beauty in Nature awaits you.
