Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Practically nothing is blooming at the moment, but this #colorpop is visible at work as you go in the servants' entrance... so #cheerful

More defiance! One of the butter-yellow "Happy Returns" daylilies I planted to relieve the eye-searing ugliness of the "Stella D'Oros" planted by the HOA. I plan to continue.

@laketitlow it is supposedly a rebloomer but it also looks NOTHING like the catalogue photo, & it is not (as I was told it would be) a miniature, so this may not be the right plant for all I know.

I have a Lily soon to bloom that is supposed to be a rebloomer and also shown in catalogue as pink and lavender. The gtags encyclopedia shows it as a peach colour. Just what I needed. Oh well, we shall see. @emch @laketitlow

Peach is a really great color, especially in a rebloomer @hkyfvr . Years ago I had a stunning, fragrant peach daylily called "Baley Hay" that I just loved but my dad killed with barbarian gardening practices. I found one called "Bali Hai" that looks identical but has zero scent. I persevere...

Don’t give up. You will find one. I guess since I have so many orange lilies I wanted something different. That is why I ordered the Mildred Mitchell. If she is peach and a rebloomer I will be happy. I have a yellow and burgundy one almost ready to bloom also from a local nursery. 🤞🤞
