AWESOME!! What a FANtastic way to display your Daylilies! What is the daylily on the second row down, 5th one in from left to right? Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing..
Thanks so much! Okay, that daylily is Captivating Smile, a Rice daylily. It doesn't always look like that! Believe it or not, it is the same daylily three over to the left (next to Jane Trimmer on the end, second row). I can't explain why it sometimes is more pink than purple. The purple one was taken on June 29th and the pinkish one was taken on June 27th! I didn't mean to put it in twice, but I had something like 369 photos to narrow down and I just hit the ones that caught my eye.
If you look on his site, http://johnricedaylilies.com/captivating.htm, you will see that neither of those shots looks like his! However, I got it directly from him. I suspect it needs time to settle in. This was just its first year here...and you know what they say, you gotta give them a few years! It will be interesting to see what it does this year!
Well, that's probably more than you wanted to know...lol!

I LOVE comments and want to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to post one. Please do not be offended if I don't respond right away...I will, hopefully, get back to you...before too long. Life gets busy and I don't always respond promptly. I do value your contribution, so thanks for coming over!

I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border. I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass, and tries to correct the error.

Wonderful collages! I think daylilies are the most underappreciated garden plant. I have many plants but nothing like your collection! Beautiful!
Thank you! Shall I confess that the collage has only...maybe 1/6th of my daylilies? No, better not...lol!
Thanks for stopping by!
