"Friends are like flowers in the garden of life" ~Author Unknown

Friends and flowers, one can never have enough of either one.

The weather here is absolutely the most gorgeous springtime, ever!  Low humidity, bright sun, crystal blue sky, light breeze and unseasonably cool temp.  It is 77 degrees, about 10 degrees cooler than average.  I have been outdoors most all day.  Came inside for a drink of honey sweetened ice tea.  Phew, was that tasty.

Daylilies .... a few more.

Double Daffy

Daylily Double Daffy presents bright yellow with light mahogany eyezone and green throat.  It is a double.  Double** refers to there being more than one layer of petals. Double Daffy is a midseason bloomer.  Bloom width is about four inches and it stands over two feet tall.

**It is noted from here and others have commented that sometimes the first bloom that opens after initial planting may not be a double, however subsequent blossoms are.

Cabbage Flower

Daylily Cabbage Flower is pastel lemon yellow self with green throat.  It is an extra early season rebloomer.  It is a double which presents a four and half inch bloom standing about a foot and  half tall.  It is fragrant.  The term fragrant in daylily terms refers that blooms present a light pleasing scent.  The scent may vary with the time of day and with weather conditions.

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