Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

And what kind of good weather for daylilies can we find for today? It is sunny. Light breeze. Those are two good weather points in which daylilies thrive. Last week, we had an inch and a quarter of rain, the daylilies sprang right back to life. Rebloomers are sending up new scapes. Woo-Hoo ....


Did not get any new photos of daylilies this AM. Will share from a
previous day. Daylily Newberry Amaryllis presents a nice red bloom with a yellow green throat. Large in diameter, ie about 7". It is a tetraploid, showing a thicker bloom and scape. Here at
Oakville Farm, we offer Newberry Amaryllis for $12.00 per
double fan.


Dublin Elaine is a nice reblooming daylily. It is a pink double
with a green throat. And we sell the nice specimen for $7.00 per double fan. The bloom stands about three feet above the foliage. Dublin Elaine would make a nice accent to daylily Brocaded Gown (yellow) or daylily Double Dribble (coral).

Hope you have a good day and make it a good weekend. Until next time, Happy Gardening.
