A watched pot never boils, they say. And watched daylilies don’t bloom . . . until you go camping. Friday, I had 4 in bloom. Saturday, it was 5. Today, back down to 1. I guess the advantage orchids have over daylilies is that the blooms last months. Still, I think my first love is the daylilies.
Here are the Friday Four (Dream Keeper bloomed Friday and today):

Dream Keeper

Passionate Returns

Stella de Oro

Saratoga Springtime
I think I will have a few more tomorrow – Treasure of the Southwest is half opened, already! And, I have 30 scapes (bud spikes) in the Southwest Garden now. I will finally get to see some of these blooms! It has been a wait!
