Gardening with Soul

Today was another hot and humid day with plenty of sunshine that made it feel even hotter.

But that did not deter my friends and I from visiting a local daylily garden that belongs to some folks that live nearby.

We had visited there two years ago (see daylily extravaganza post) and wanted to return to enjoy the beauty of their gardens as well as to buy more of their beautiful lilies.     

Norma and her husband have been growing these for years and their property is filled with fields of daylilies.

Many they bought but some they have pollinated themselves to create some unique flowers.

 I was overwhelmed by the colors and beauty to spite the overwhelming heat we endured to see them. 

Of course just like last time we were there, my list of lilies I wanted was so long I had to narrow it down to just eight and asked them to pick five or six from my list for me.  They will call when they have dug them so we can pick them up.

It was a fun day~ hot temperatures and all!

~”Then followed that beautiful season… Summer….
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
