    - whatever you call them, I like this one against my fence in the memory garden.

    A daylily by any other name. For just a day they brighten a part of the garden and then fade so that another can take its place. From spring to fall the daylilies and their cultivars show their diversity of color, shading, shapes and sizes. A splendid specimen you have calvinjane, for a splendid day.

    Whatever you call them they're a lovely splash of colour against a fence aren't they?

    I love them too. Is your memory garden the pet cemetary in your yard ? Mine is.

    I made my memory garden the spring after my mother passed away as therapy. It started with the chair from her deck and a bleeding heart from in front of her house. Many of the things I have added since remind me of someone - a gift from a friend, etc.
