Lining out...

Our non reblooming daylilies have finished blooming. Now we begin the task of lining out. We locate daylilies that are three years old or older. It is time for them to be separated. The daylily "clumps" (plants) are dug up, separated into 2-3 fans and replanted in a new row. By next spring, those fans should be clumps of 8 or more plants. We will fertilize with 10-10-10 this fall and then Mother Nature showers them with water....Away they "grow"!
Happy Gardening

"Somewhere over the.....

...rainbow".

Yes, there it was. Right out the back window. And after a few minutes, a second rainbow appeared. Such a calming sight.

"Make it a double, Joe"....

Nope...not exactly what I mean.
I want to tell you about is a daylily called, Dublin Elaine. A nice reblooming pink double. The term "double" means that the bloom has more than the usual six segments. The bloom size is called "large", since the diameter is larger than 4.5". Dublin Elaine stands approximately 3 feet tall. Makes a nice growing daylily for the back of a display in a garden.

Panda Bear...

Sometimes called black-and-white, cat-foot; a kind of mammal from the bear family? Well, not exactly.
This daylily is called Panda Bear. A yellow reblooming daylily which is short in stature; grows to about 2 feet tall. It has a maroon/wine colored eye with a yellow throat. The wine color is also found around the edge. Very showy in a late blooming garden.

Starstruck...

I'm back! Having been under the weather lately, I am feeling much better this morning.
We had a nice rain last night. Everything is looking refreshed. The daylilies have a "pick me up " look to them.
Our feature for today is called Starstruck. It is a late blooming deep golden yellow daylily. The daylily is fragrant and grows to about 2 feet tall. It would make a nice lower growing daylily for the front of a flower bed or shrub or shed.

Bonanza......

Remember the show? Hoss, Little Joe, Adam, Ben Cartwright and Hop Sing. They would have all starved to death without Hop Sing! What a great western!!
But, the Bonanza I want to showcase is a great reblooming daylily. Bonanza grows well in full to partial sun and grows to about 2 feet tall. Bloom is orange and is large; 4 inches or larger. A nice growing, drought tolerant daylily that would be showy in any garden!

Near White

We have three late blooming daylilies that are really showing their beauty now. I will promote one each day for you.
Today's beauty is called "White Temptation". Although there are not any true white daylilies, this is called near white. It is a strong, medium bud count daylily. It stands out well next to a dark contrast color daylily. It stands about 3 feet tall and has a large bloom, approximately 5". It is not a rebloomer, therefore the beauty is enjoyed now and for about 3 weeks.
