The tour did not disappoint. Members gathered, talking of last night's rain (mercy but that was a spectacular thunderstorm!), and how we were quite lucky that the hail didn't amount to much. Goodies were served and everyone was happy to socialize, ooing and aahing over the flowers.
Yard no 1 |
Autumn Jewels daylily |
Puffer Fish Daylily. Aren't the ruffles marvelous? |
Yard no. 2 |
Butterfly Sneezes, hybridized by garden owner Karen Schock. |
People bring a sampling of blossoms from their garden and we vote on our favorite. The table was packed. I failed to take a photograph of the full table but you get a sense of this from the photo below. The Blossom Blast tour is a great way to discover new daylilies one might want to add to one's garden.
My favorite was King George daylily. It is huge. I went home and ordered it! As my friend, Bob, says "It's addictive." |
