Delightful Daylilies!

   Every year I go to the big garden center sale in July.  I make a bee-line for one table - the Tidewater Daylily Society!  There the Society offers rhizomes/corms? of old favorites, new and improved varieties and the newest offerings in the daylily world.   Once I have purchased my slips I go home and start digging.  Then, I have to wait until next year to see the blossoms.  So, each summer I have an ongoing show of daylilies that I bought the year before.  These are some of this years crop.  I am sorry I can't give you names - we have Maggie Poodle to thank for that.  I plant the things, I put the little tags into the ground by each plant so I can identify it and when I go inside Maggie likes to take the little plastic signs and tosses them all over the yard.   BUT! This year I have a plan.  I am going to start writing the names on a garden map.   So, next year's lilies will not be nameless!!

There are two daylilies that I am waiting for.  So far,no buds.  They are named Bela Lugosi and Nosferatu - both are dark purple almost black.  When they bloom I will post pics of them.
