The Day Lilies have Exploded!

As I told you, once they start, the Day Lilies bloom a LOT!  As the name suggests, Day Lilies bloom for a day and then wilt, so you need to pick off yesterday's faded blooms to enjoy today's.  It makes for a great morning, going out to see what blooms have opened today!  Each stem develops a lot of buds, so can go on blooming for quite awhile.

This variety is known as Saugeen Sunrise; we bought it directly from the breeders a short distance from our former home.

Hope you enjoyed these; there will be more ion the weeks to come!

  2. Ours have also exploded, but out whole row is made up of similar yellow-orange blooms. Although there are 3 different types, they are similar. I don't think we planned it very well.
