Daylily Tour 08

Hello! I'm so glad you stopped by!

Would you like to come around to the backyard and see my daylillies?

You would?

I'm so delighted!

I've been collecting daylillies for many years now. A lot of mine have been given to me by my Grandmother and would be considered heirloom daylillies. When I got married and acquired my own little house and my own little plot of land, she gave me quite a few.

I have also bought some. The ones that are frillier with pinks and yellows are ones that I gravitate to when purchasing. I also bought one that is an obnoxious reddish orange. I somehow love it.

A couple have been given to me by friends. A couple were at a house when we moved in and became assimilated into my collection when we left.

I am still collecting and do not know that I will ever think, "Now I have enough." It has kind of become an obsession for me.

I LOVE to trade plants and I love to have perennial plants that were given to me by friends and family. I am always reminded of that person each year when they bloom.

These have been moved twice in the the last 3 years and are getting ready to make the trek to Texas. I love that they are very hardy and easy to transport.

I have a little over 30 different varieties and somewhere close to 300 or 400 plants. It seemed like a lot more when we were planting them last February!

All of these pictured are in my collection (I promise no "they are my neighbor's but I'm still standing in my yard" pictures) and in my garden right now. I just took these pictures this month. This is the first year I have tried to document all the varieties with pictures.

Thanks for stopping by my garden and admiring my daylillies with me.
Come again any time.
I love to have visitors!
