The neighborhood deer could jump the new fence, but for now have been deterred from entering the garden. So, for the first time in many years, a few daylilies have been blooming in the garden.
This one was purchased from Roger Mercer at Mercers’ Garden in Fayetteville, NC, during a fun excursion to his daylily farm with my sister and daughter before 2006. The cultivar name is lost to me now, but it is nice just to see the flower at long last.
Wow, that’s a pretty one. I remember our trip to the gardens very well. I divided my daylillies this year late in the season and didn’t get one bloom from Roger’s flowers. However, a lilly you gave me at Easter probably 10 years ago, bloomed for the first time! Yes! It had at least 4 blooms. I’m hoping all will bloom next year.
Cool!
