We're here in the heat of the afternoon but we all hop off the bus as if it's our first stop. You know we never can get enough (obviously, we're on this additional tour...lol).
Sandy Holmes greets our bus and sets everyone aflutter with the news of a special sale for convention guests.
One of the first daylilies I see is Wanda Evans...
I head over to the display area. There I see Ida Mae Norris...what a flat face!
But...here is where I first see the most-talked-about daylily of the tours...Pigment of Imagination...it's afternoon and POI has done its fading thing...
We'll see more of this daylily in other gardens.
A clump of Uncle Brian...
Sweet Isabella...
Dream Sequence...
A couple of garden views...
Regency Heights...
Small World Breanna...
Here we have Martha Lowry and I'll show you the tag for the other...
The next two, you can see their names...
Rosy Whisper is pictured below...two views, showing what a difference lighting makes (shade or not)...
A seedling, C805...
C391, two views...
Two of C860...
As you can see, it's up for a Junior Citation...
What's this ahead?
closer...
Don't Know Jack, below...
Stretch the Moment...
Walt Lowry...
More things to see...
Including this elegant place to rest...
a friendly dog...
Another perspective on the bottle tree bed...
B259...
Venus Fly Trap...
Small World Jack in the Box...
Titanic Tower...
I would recognize this one anywhere...the lovely Carolina Cool Down...
The very bright Blazing Lampsticks...
What a nice display we have here...
Why, it's Walt Lowry, putting on quite the show (we can enjoy it twice)...
The seedling fields...
In the top photo, the seedling in the bottom left is pictured below...
Here are a few more, quickly, because we have to go...
Isn't this the truth?
There's the bus...
Thanks so much to Mike and Sandy Holmes as well as Kimberly McCutcheon for having us over.
****Bonus****
Like a few other gardens, I visited here in 2010 and thought I'd share a few images from then...
What a license plate!
Nice here, too....
The seedling fields looked a bit different....
Here's C391, two years earlier...
Some other seedlings (that may even be registered now)...
Some other garden views...
More seedlings...
I don't have numbers for these, but they sure were beautiful...
It was fun (again)...many thanks!
