Yesterday two of our few remaining red daylilies bloomed. Today our last one bloomed. I bought them about ten years ago, and honestly, they took a while to get established. But now they sit as as a beautiful backdrop for the more showy and the shorter daylilies (and hostas) in that part of the garden. Their show goes on for about a month. At the end of the day, when the sun comes around through that part of the garden, they are magnificent! It is especially wonderful when a number of them bloom all at the same time.
I don’t even know their proper name, but I think it might be ‘Autumn Red’. They remind me of unsung heroes.
