Just the past three days our Day Lilies have started blooming. At last count I think Mrs. F.G. had 15 different varieties, and we`ll see them all over the next three weeks. They are one of our favourite flowers, and mark the middle of summer. Sorry I can`t list all the variety names, just enjoy the blooms.
One reason we have so many varieties of Day Lilies is that 10 years ago Mrs. F.G. discovered Artemesia Daylilies, a couple of Day Lily growers and breeders out in the country south of our previous home. We visited them several times and always came home with at least a couple of new plants. Since our own garden was just getting started we had lots of room for them. You can visit them still, but now in a new location a short distance north of Kimberley on Grey Rd. 13. Check them out at artemesiadaylilies.com.
Such beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteShe has such a wonderful collection. I have not counted how many I have but I don't have 15 for sure. I like all of them but the ruffles one are magical. Both yellows are wonderful and that deep purple is so great.
ReplyDeleteOur day lilies just started to bloom too. Yours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo colorful and pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful and the photos are excellent. So crisp and clear!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful pictures of beautiful flowers! I love seeing them.
ReplyDeleteLilies are a very attractive flower. I can't believe how many you have around your house.
ReplyDeleteMrs. F.G. has assembled quite a collection -- we have but two varieties.
ReplyDeleteWe’ve had two blooms on the same stalk, but there will be many more shortly. All of ours are similar tones (sort of muted yellow and orange) although there are several cultivars. I lost track of the names some time ago.
ReplyDeleteI like all your Day Lilies and especially the colors of that last one.
ReplyDeleteOne of my previous ones was was " Ming Porcelain" don't know if that was a commercial name or the grower's choice.Your colours are stunning.Looking forward to the others coming into show.
ReplyDeleteYour Day Lilies are lovely! They ask for so little and come in so many gorgeous colours!!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your Day Lily photos. My brother is a real fan of Lilies, I'll be sure to show him your pictures when next I see him.
ReplyDeleteDay Lilies are everywhere! It sometimes seems that every one bursts into bloom overnight!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I often wish I had more space and the appropriate exposure to keep more sun-loving plants like these.
ReplyDeleteThat purple one with the yellow throat is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe last is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Daylilies are so reliable.
