2009 Seedlings

With a winter storm due in tomorrow night, it's time to settle back and enjoy what was. One of my greatest pleasures during Daylily Season is the daily discovery of new blooms. After growing these seedlings at least two years (sometimes three...), it is oh-so-nice to find some that make me smile...

Now if you remember some of these from last year, you also probably remember that there were more...I have culled part of the bed (but not all of it) and some of my carefully placed tags...well, they became displaced...so, I have some that are unidentified...also, my picture taking continues to grow...while looking back at last year's pictures, I found myself wondering what I was thinking when I saved a particular picture...ha.

There's always next year....I'm really looking forward to it...finding these again and others...and always the challenge of capturing what I see in a photo...along with that excitement of brand new-never-before-seen blooms.
