Senior Moments

Yesterday the last of our daylilies bloomed.  We were fortunate enough to have sixteen different varieties of daylilies blooming in our yard this year.  That’s the most that we have ever had, and they were all beautiful if I do say so myself.

I know the name of most of the daylilies in our yard, but not this last one.  It was part of a collection which was among the first flowers we planted.after we bought the house.

Daylilies are not true lilies, but they are nevertheless beautiful.  The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset.  Fortunately there are usually several blooms on the same stem.

Daylilies are extremely easy to grow — they are perennials and spread season after season.  Betsy and I enjoy them a great deal!
