Fizzle, Not Sizzle

It’s mid-July. I’m usually overwhelmed and a little exhausted from peak season. Not this year. I’ve only had over 30 on one day yesterday) and only had 2 first blooms for 2023 today. It feels like a fizzle this year – like it did when I had half as many daylilies.

Lime Frost first bloom 7.15

Anyway, today’s first blooms were Lime Frost and a NOID that was mislabeled as Fringe Benefit. Just photos today, no reel.

Valentines and Show-offs

Two more beautiful daylilies joined the 2023 party today: Funny Valentine and Longlesson Show-off.

Funny Valentine first bloom 7.3

Funny Valentine was one of my early landscaping daylilies. She produces a huge number of blooms from her pot.

Longlesson Show-off first bloom 7.3

Longlesson Show-off was a bonus daylily. I recently moved it to the back patio to give more room to some new favorites. I think the color is nicer in the new spot.

What will the 4th of July bring?
