Flowers of Summer

This is the first daylily to bloom in my garden this year. My mom gave me 8 plants from her garden in Vermont about 15 years ago and the original 8 have turned into at least 30 plants as I've divided them over the years. It's a plant that keeps on giving.

Love the colours and clarity in this shot Laurie and the contrast of the pinky orange against the green is stunning!

The clarity and quality of this is fantastic. The light is perfect ... the color combination ... all of it! Fav

These lilies are all different. Same shape but different colours and stripes! Gorgeous here!

It's so beautiful; those are my favorite color. I noticed the spider web too. I wish you could come here too for a quick, or otherwise, visit!

So, it's so far along! Mine are just the small buds that have to grow still before they can open.
