My day lilies started to bloom about a week ago.
If you like these, there will be more to come. In fact, I checked my blog and I am slightly behind where I was last year.
From Lamberton's Brookside Daylilies in the small town of Thompson, Pennsylvania. They were supposed to be going out of business three years ago (the owners are in their 80's) but they are still open for limited days and hours.Also from Lamberton's; daylilies do get into your blood.
The other two are from before I found Lamberton's.
This one is putting on quite the show.My only sure rebloomer. This may be a Stella de Oro; not sure. It does not bloom continuously once it starts.
I've gotten my day lilies in various places. Some were bought at a combination of plants sales including our local Cornell Cooperative plant sale, a plant sale we lucked into years ago in Charleston, and a wonderful day lily business in Penn Yan, New York (Finger Lakes region) called Grace Gardens. Sadly, Tom Rood, who ran this wonderful business after the death of his wife in 2020,closed at the end of last year. At his age (he's now 87) he also found he could no longer keep it up.

...I believe that the last one is "Happy Returns" which is a nicer lemon yellow than "Stella de Oro!"
ReplyDeleteMy Stella is more lemony than gold too. The ones around town in landscaped areas, like drive-through places, are more golden.
DeleteDay lilies are such reliable flowers, bright and cheerful, and returning each year.
ReplyDeleteI only have one or two blooming. Way behind this year. I used to peak around the 4th of July. Not likely.
ReplyDeleteThe lilies are lovely
ReplyDeleteDay lilies are great for shadows. Yours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your daylily posts!
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. Day lilies (orange ) always filled up the ditches along the road when I was growing up. My daughter has some amazing lilies growing now. I'll try to get them posted.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty. I love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteThere was another blog commenting that the daylilies were late this year. I wonder why.
