Daylily: Aztec Gold = Spectacular

Buying something wonderful and classic, like this Daylily (Hemerocallis), from Home Depot has always seemed somehow wrong to me. But I can't argue with results like this. I have always loved Daylilies, having been raised in Virginia by a gardening Mom. I look forward to having giant beds of naturalized Daylilies all over my garden.

This spring, I bought two of these Daylilies from 'Depot, and two more called Ming Toy. The Mings are starting to send up bloom stalks, and the Aztecs were blooming when I brought them home and planted them. Now they have exhausted the first round of blooms and are sending up more. Wahoo!! I MUST get in the habit of buying more like 5 or 7 from now on. I love bringing home new plants, but I do get lazy when it's time to get out there and plant them all.

On a recent walking wandering photo safari, I came across an area of road construction, strewn with a variety of hardware parts. Snapping as I went, keeping a low profile so as not to be mistaken for a terrorist, I caught some neat shots in amongst the piles of mayhem.
