A Thing of Beauty



Daylilly


The 'almost white' daylilies (genus Hemerocallis)
looked stunning in the early morning
light
filtering through the trees
in my backyard this A.M.
They are such a strong and a proud
flower, sturdy looking really. But as I
understand it, their blooms do not last long
(which is why they are not used in cut
flower arrangements often, if at all)

The early morning light made
them appear almost magical.

  3. What a gorgeous daylily that is, lg! So exotic! I have about seven different ones, but nothing with stamen like that! It is magical. Of all the blooms in the garden, the lilies are thriving in the drought we're experiencing. They make me smile because they look so darn happy :)
