    These are a few of the daylilies I purchased at the final sale of a local daylily farm. Most reflect a need to extend the garden daylily bloom season and are late or very late bloomers. A Few are re-bloomers.

    Several have seed pods, coming from a field of daylilies who knows what they will look like. I will find out a few years from now.

    Next year should be very interesting.

    You have a lovely selection of lilies there Jerry. They must look stunning in your garden at this time of year.

    Jerry, They are so nice, it makes me want to add to my little lily garden spot. Can we see the garden from afar? Or are they scattered around?

    Jerry, time to set up a lemonade stand, ticket booth, and get ready for the tour buses! Your garden with all those gorgeous lilies is going to be quite an attraction.
    Those lilies could not have found a better home.

    The daylilies are scattered among 11 beds of which 5 are new and have only daylilies in them. Their family portrait is the last time they can all see each other. There is, however, a bee with a brush and a pair of scissors that visits each one. Maybe there are hidden messages in the pollen? It is impossible to stand anywhere in the yard without seeing at least one. The freezer now has pollen in bags....an experiment in progress. It is time to update some satellite photos, maybe the flowers can get in a new picture. Bzzzzzzz, whrrrrr, whrrrrrr, click :)

    Jerry, The Royal Prestige daylily is appropriately named. Purple is the color associated with royalty. You have a lovely plant handpicked for a monarch.
