Assignment 'D'

16 years ago

Daylily from last year. Our daylilies are doing very poorly this year because of the drought. We can water only one day a week now from 12AM to 7AM in our area. I'm trying to keep some shrubs and dogwoods alive. Everything else has to take its chances. Rain will return, I keep telling myself.

OMG gmom, I have quite a passion for daylilies, and I have nothing like that! Is that form a hose-in-hose type?
Can you please tell me the name of it? I normally don't like double DLs, but I DO like this form.

Stunning!

Julie, thanks. I have no idea what it is called- not even sure where it came from but probably one my mother brought with her when she moved in with us back in the '80s. I always call it a double orange daylily. They can be very pretty some years and other years just so so. I fear this is going to be one of the off years.

Yes it's a perennial. The humming birds love these. It is loaded with blooms this year. I also have a pink thats more like a regular foxglove but its also perennial.

Love forget-me-nots but oh are they pesky when they go to seed. They cling to my clothes and are almost impossible to get off. I have some that come up every year.Those are pretty. Had a few dandelions earlier this spring but the weed killer the company used killed them. I think they are very pretty too.

They're so pretty, we always call them "highway" lillies, cause you always see big clumps of them along the roads.
