DAYLILIE'S !
ANOTHER FLOWER TO LOVE!
Last month I was trying to figure out what kind of plant I could put between three tall Arborvitae that have scads of tulips planted between them.
As you know, when the tulips finish blooming they look horrible and I thought if I planted something in front of them the ratty foliage would be hidden.
My daughter Cyndi suggested Daylilie's so I did some research. Then one day while talking to my friend Bonnie, she told me she ordered hers from a place in Missouri and sent me the URL.
OH MY GOSH!!! I had a really hard time whittling down my want list! LOL
I had no idea there were so many gorgeous Daylilie's. They aren't just orange or yellow anymore!
Here's what I ordered and have already received and planted and some are already growing green! Oh yes I should add, this company is very generous. They sent more than I ordered and paid for and even sent a free one as a gift. Will I be ordering again?
You betcha!
DOUBLE CHARM GROWS 18 to 24" tall with 4 to 5" blossoms and it blooms mid season. I ordered one but they sent two. I planted them one on the east side of my house one on each side of a purple Rhody that blooms at the same time.
Woodside Ruby is the one that will hide the ratty tulips and look wonderful between the deep green Arborvitae foliage. Is this incredibly gorgeous or what?Anyone interested in the very generous Daylily Farm send me an e-mail and I will give you the URL. You will love it!

My girls and I chopped out the willow root that was in the area where I am making new lawn. It was hard work but I'm delighted that it's gone. I mowed lawn today and used the mower to pack down the area where the stump was. I am going to wait until late summer to put the grass seed in. It's too hot and dry right now. By waiting, mother nature will help me with the watering chore!
Be blessed everyone.
