Purple Rain (and other Daylilies)#WordlessWednesday

The rain  let up here in New York State for several days, until it returned yesterday with a bad thunderstorm.  Of course, it could have been worse.  No flash flood (at least that I know of), no downed trees in the neighborhood (that I know of - but, to the west of us, they weren't as fortunate), and at least 1500 people lost power to our west.  Again, we lucked out.

What I do have is some wet day lily flowers.

Don't you like these frilly lilies?

There's something about wet day lilies and (these were actually from last week's wet spell) I'd like to show you some of their beauty.

Fresh out of the shower, ahhh.

Purple rain? Actually, I've probably had this day lily for well over 20 years and its name is long forgotten. Purple Rain would be a good name, though.

This was one of my favorite shots. The plant in the lower left with the white border, incidentally, is pineapple mint.

  6. I never tire of your daylily photos! I have a similar one to your Purple Rain, Grape Magic. Isn't pineapple mint lovely? Mine took a beating in the heat a few weeks ago, but it'll be back. I love it chopped on fruit salad.

  10. Alana your day lilies are beautiful and even more so with rain drops on them. Lady's Mantle looks pretty with rain drops on them too .. I think it is the hair like substance on the foliage that catches it just so. Funny how we can have certain plants in our gardens for so long and forget their names but not how beautiful they are ;-)

  16. Your lilies are dazzling and I love the name Purple Rain; takes me back to Prince's song. :)

    Raindrops and dew have a certain stunning indescribable effect for sure. <3
