2008 AHS National Tour: Garden Three

Time to resume our visit to Houston, don't you think? We're now at the garden of Mark and Nancy Polasek. Their very pretty entry


led us around to the driveway where daylilies grown in enormous pots were beautifully in bloom. The labels on a few didn't turn out for me, but here are the ones that did:

MANDALAY BAY MUSIC:


KEY TO TREASURES:


RED EYED FANTASY:


and LAVENDER FANTASIA:


As we entered the backyard where the real show was, daylilies were in bloom everywhere! This is just a tiny sample of what our eyes were taking in:

It was too soon to leave, but lunch was calling. We headed off and soon arrived to a fine Mexican meal. Huge bowls of real guacamole (real avocados!)....it was all so delicious! Of course, we would expect nothing less in Texas! Many thanks to the Polaseks for a fabulous garden!

If you missed the first two gardens, you can find them here or under my Labels Section. Join me for Garden Four of our Day One adventure at the 2008 AHS National Convention.
