I have been taking pictures the past couple of days for the next photo challenge (see link on sidebar). The theme is for macro photography, so flowers here at the cottage have been naturally getting my attention. While I was out taking close-ups, I also took a few photos of some daylilies which are now blooming.
Unfortunately, we can’t find the tag for the lovely salmon-rose colored variety shown above, and our wee noggins can’t remember the name. It has lovely formed blooms on tall stalks. There are a dozen or so plants of this cultivar in our front flower bed next to the main walkway.
This daylily type is called Black-Eyed Stella. It is a prolific bloomer and related to the Stella d'Oro (Star of Gold) cultivar that is so common these days in landscaping. We have several plants of this variety in the flowerbed nearest the kitchen side of the house.
Oh, how PRETTY!! I love daylilies, and of course don't have any. The last ones I had; I ran over with the lawn mower~don't ask. :)
ReplyDeleteYour yard is a work of art! Hope you're not doing too much on that knee, Ms. Donna. ((hugs))
Love your daylily pictures. I've been taking lots of daylily pics myself. They are part of what inspired the theme for the next challenge.
