Species lily closeup
This is a species daylily I purchased from B&D Lilies....it always takes me by surprise with it's 2" blooms that seem to come out of nowhere on 4 ft stalks. Sweetly scented.
A fave red daylily that does best in partial shade to keep from fading. She is a stunner this year!!!!
Another shot of daylily "Custard Candy"
A funky mauve semi spider
Hemerocallis "Red Resplendence"...probably my fave daylily right now. Semi spider and slightly fragrant..Huge blooms
