Last night it rained.  It has been overcast all day, and now it is raining, again.  It is a good weekend to dig daylilies and put them in pots.  It is not a good weekend to chill with my dogs at the brewery.  Or, go camping!

So, I did have a new bloom today.  Her name is Nearly Wild.   And she held up pretty well to the rain and sprinkler.

I am fairly sure she is named for the ditch lily, Fulva, that is the original American daylily.  It was brought to the US from Asia in the 19th century as an ornamental flower. It grows along ditches in certain areas of the country, and (unlike most daylilies we grow today) has rhizomes that make it invasive.   You can order it, but it comes with a black box warning that it is invasive!  But, it does look like Nearly Wild, don’t you think?

OK – so the pot moving took most of the day.  So far, 43 moved and 13 to go.  Of the 13, 10 are still in bloom or have scapes.  So, tomorrow is a much shorter day with that piece. Plus, I am starting to do some dividing, so may do a bit of that tomorrow.  The cool weather makes a good time to do this part.   Probably more so than camping.
