What A Show Off....

Daylilies, at the farm, are making quite a showing. They are one of the easiest of flowers to grow in Texas.



The color range is almost anything you might image. And each year new colors are on the market.


You can enjoy looking through the catalog where I order my daylilies, if you click on Oakes Daylilies.
If you love flowers, you will not be disappointed in exploring all the colors.


One color extends the entire front of the farmhouse. I started with just a few, dividing them each year as they multiplied.








I couldn't resist taking this photo while I had the water sprinkler on.











Don't you agree, they are quite the Show Off.......

      Thank you....the porch is a wonderful spot where I try to start my day with breakfast. It faces south to catch the summer breeze.

    The daylilies are spectacular - I would find it very difficult to choose between the colours. All of your photographs are beautiful, but I particularly like the final one, which leads down to your beautiful windmill, lovely!

      Hello Elaine....would you believe I have about 10 other colors that bloom a few weeks later. Oh, yes, the windmill is so much a part of the farm.

    Beautiful flowers-your front porch makes me want a house in the country and flower beds-hopefully next year!

    What a lovely assortment! I wonder if some of those are specific to your climate because I've never seen them before.

      Hello...It might be too cold where you live. Check out the link to the catalog. They may only grow in southern states.

    Just beautiful. I didn't know that they came in any colour other than orange. The man next to us at the allotment has a beautiful patch of orange ones , and we had some in the garden at the old house. None here at Beyond the Nook though - I think I'll get some for the front garden.

      Scarlet....if you look at the catalog I've linked to the post, you can see the colors are from blues, purples, reds, yellow, white....and everything in between. They can be addicting once you start collecting. The great news is they multiply quickly, so you can share with friends!
