I either finally found it the right spot, or it experienced the weather it wanted, or some combination, because I've been watching with interest as a bloom stalk finally appeared. I can't wait to enjoy it in bloom, common orange or not, and frankly would be happy if it decided to take a TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-9141681094761667772015-05-24T06:12:33.600-07:002015-05-24T06:12:33.600-07:00So pretty!

I have a bunch of ditch lilies as well as other orange/yellow daylilies, which were given to me for free from other gardeners. They multiply like gangbusters here, probably because of all the moisture. (There are a lot of wetlands here.) I would love to get more pink ones, though, to match my gardens in the front yard better.Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-2367361888571108602015-05-23T20:56:25.732-07:002015-05-23T20:56:25.732-07:00They're all beautiful (even the munched one) b...They're all beautiful (even the munched one) but I love that coral pink one (4th from the bottom). I never cared much about daylilies until we moved into our current house and I inherited more than 40 clumps of a dormant variety I think is probably 'Sammy Russell Red.' Since then I've acquired a dozen more varieties on of my own. I think I'm addicted.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
