Daylily
Posted by mothernaturesgarden on June 15, 2009
Hemerocallis ‘Pardon Me’ given to me by Frances of Fairegarden is the same as the mislabled daylily I have been trying to ID in a previous post. The color difference is due to photos being made with different cameras with one in the sun and one in the shade. What do you think?
Update: Finally my plant and the gift plant bloomed at the same time and they are exactly the same. Thanks, Frances.

Mother Nature’s Garden Daylilies
While in Auburn, Alabama for a wedding this weekend we visited
the Jule Collins Smith Art Museum
which also had a nice garden
where hydrangeas were blooming.
There were also huge rosemary shrubs,
crepe myrtles flanking the entrance,
and a nice paved walking trail around the lake.
Our visit to the Birmingham Botanical Garden on the way home will follow later.

Beautiful daylilies Donna! What a beautiful setting for the museum – I love the water.

It was fun walking around the lake, Linda. If I had a beautiful place such as this, I might be more inclined to walk more. I have a beautiful area but it is not free of questionable doggies.

Love the red daylily. {:>) Nice photos as well. The benches with rosemary nearby would make a great place to take a nap. Relax with a fragrance.

Donna, Your collection of daylilies is fabulous… We have several also but most have not bloomed yet. Our lilies are putting on a show right now though. And the roses are still fab.
Your trip to ‘Bama and the art museum must have been wonderful also. Great photos.
Hope you are having a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy

I love architecture as well, Abe. I’m amazed how it can make you feel.

Wow, you are certainly into day lilies. I think of them as very ‘out there’, with their tongues hanging out, ready to brush their pollen onto any passing human or insect. I do love their crinkly petals and lovely colours. And thank you, MN, for the tour around the art museum garden. I loved this garden. It’s very sleek, simple and modern, and goes with the building. Looking forward to ‘visiting’ Birmingham Botanical Garden soon. Cheers, catmint

I made a daylily walk with my collection of daylilies and it seems too close. The walk can’t be mowed without knocking off buds. Sigh!
