<< After sharing the story of my beautiful and unusual(?) triple
daylilies, which I dearly love (even though they are the major source
of the dreaded orange in my garden) I get the bad news. I expected to
learn that after weeks of long, exhaustive search into the world's
rare flower archives, and innumerous consultations with the most
reknowned horticulturalists (on an international scale), that my rare
daylilies are only found on a high plateau in the distant reaches of
the sectet garden of the Dali Lama of ancient Tibet. Or barring that,
how about the garden of the Emperor of China who built the Great Wall
(probably to protect his daylilies).
Instead of the above what do I hear? My lovely flowers are one step
above weeds, somewhere on a par with dandelions, and are growing
profusely in every ditch and on every hillside in North America? In
fact Marie has so many of these rare beauties that she is giving them
away to anyone who will take them off her hands! I ask you,,is this an
ego-buster or what. >>
Common or not, they sound lovely. I used to HATE the color Orange and just
recently learned to love it thanks to my Orange (plain old single type... more
common than yours) Daylilies! No other flower in my garden (except yarrow)
takes so little work!
Enjoy what you have .... it's not like we can buy them at K-Mart! :-)
Blessings of the Fruitful Season!
