Day lilies that are now blooming

Now tell me don't they Shine

 I have a garden of my own, but so with roses overgrown, and lilies, that you will it guess to be a little wilderness.  Andrew Marvell 

   

 I bought most of my lilies from Brecks on line.  Nothings like shopping in the comfort of  your sewing room at your own desk.  No clerks telling you what you need, I know what I need.  More Lilies.   There is not but one thing wrong with the average Lily. They bloom only for a time then they are gone. Oh how they shine while they are blooming.  But you know the old saying there is a time and season for everything.   Brecks prides themselves in selling the finest  and largest bulbs from Holland.  Every year they have a sale I can  not resist. Spend $50.00 and get $25.00 off.  Sounds like half price to me.  So I buy.  When I got my order, they had written me a notice.  These bulbs are not up to our usual standards, so we are sending 2 extra for each 4 bulbs.  Half again as many,  great,  keep sending.  Where will I put them is the question.  Any where I can find an inch of ground.  Well some of the new ones only had 1 bloom.  They will grow.  Some of them had as many as 14.  Great the more the merrier.  So far I have only written about my Asiatic lilies. I have Day lilies also. My Sunday Teacher, Edna Bower, has a day lily farm.  I bought some from her in 2007.  My first Day  lilies.   They are not rebloomers.   Brecks sends out catalogs with reblooming day lilies so I buy.  What else can you do.  After all buy $50.00 get $25.00 off.  Hey do the math, easy half price,  twice the lilies half the money.  Sounds good  to me.             



Lily I bought from Edna Bower

 I  bought some in 2008 divided them in 2010. Started out with one 2008 in 2010 I had 10 now about 14.  Below you will see the collage.  This one is a rebloomer and it is shorter than most. Just Right to plant in front of roses.  The one at the left is the one I bought from Edna Bower.  It is taller than the rebloomers.  I have it in front of my red  roses.
