I planted these daylilies four years ago. Their first year, they didn't bloom but that was expected. The second year, they were inadvertently whacked down by a weedeater. The third year, they came back from the roots -- no bloom. But this year, at long last, we have blooms!
I truly didn't know what to expect. I remembered they had been rather pricey specimens whose pictures in a daylily catalog had compelled me to add them to my collection. I've been watching the buds swell, eager to see what it was I'd chosen.
The purple centered lovely with the ruffled edges is pretty spectacular. But this deep rose double bloom is, I think, my favorite of the two.
I'd love to get more and more and more daylilies, but the truth is, I should thin the ones I have. Not an easy task.These days, I force myself to throw the daylily catalogues into the recycling without a glance.
