Day lilies


They come for but one day.

If one plants enough bulbs, the visits come every day, ephemeral as each visit is.

    We’ve got some doubles, but they’re not blooming yet. Maybe won’t bloom this year since Kathryn moved a lot of them last year.

    Sunlight through the oak tree Kathryn’s father planted in 1980, now a yard in diameter and 60 feet tall. Honestly, it’s difficult to get my iPhone to do those stark contrasty photos (I have difficulty with the Pentax K10, too . . . it was always a cinch with film). This time, the photo just worked.

    That was beautiful. I love day lilies, and one of the things I miss about no longer having a garden, are all my lilies, including some double orange day lilies started from plants from my “other” grandmother’s yard, 50 years ago. Red, yellow, orange, pink, white…lilies are lovely.

    Excellent photo – the light highlights them just right! Day lilies are some of my favorites but always in a yard other than my own as I don’t have any. Cheers!
