Big Box Punch

Today came my first Yellow Punch bloom. One of my Flower Power daylilies from my weekend trip to Lowes.

I’m not much of a big box shopper, but I do appreciate rebloomers. Stellas are the best! So, I was curious about what big box did with Stella.  I wish I could find out the parentage. Monrovia just says it’s new this year. (It looks lots like Pink and Cream that I got at the same time. Hmmm.)

I do see mother Stella. It also reminds me of my Frans Hals, which is an older daylily. Hard to know. Many after it’s less new??? (Below: Stella and Frans Hals)

My new little Pink and Cream Monrovia (Stella de Oro offspring) daylily bloomed. It bloomed for 270 miles. It bloomed at 12k feet above sea level. It bloomed in more than half a dozen counties. It crossed the Great Divide.

I planned to stop in one town for gas, then the next, then the next. One thing or another made me decide to wait til the next town. I got 45 miles to the gallon this trip in my Honda Fit, so we made it to the gas station.  Maybe, just maybe, we were running on flower power.

Two For the Road

Today brought family . . . And a trip to Lowes. I don’t normally buy daylilies from big box stores, but I like live souvenirs. So, two new daylilies. Miniature offspring of Stella de Oro. The one that is starting to bloom in my hatchback is called Pink and Cream. I can find no information on it. The other one is Yellow Punch. Never a daylily-less day. Tomorrow,  it’s the long drive home. With two for the road.
