This new bloom at the historic cemetery was a wonderful treat as I walked the gardens before beginning to putz (deadhead, weed, trim). I believe it is one of the Lullaby Baby daylilies I planted in fall of 2024, but I am not absolutely certain. Either way, it was definitely a Fantastic Find.We have a lot of Stella De Oro daylilies in the historic cemetery gardens. They bloom profusely and look very cheerful. Stella De Oro daylilies at the historic ccemeteryThe Asian lilies in this bouquet bloomed, and the Purple D’Oro will soon bloom there for the first time. The Asian lilies have bloomed, and now we await the first Purple D’Oro blooms at the historic cemetery.YarrowMy primary work of the day was to remove the seed pods from the Stella De Oro daylilies so we hopefully get rebloom. This year I will not harvest Stella De Oro self-seed. We have plenty to divide πThis daylily, and the milkweed, and the hosta are a beautiful picture of what a public garden can be with community care and contribution.A “donut” in the historic cemetery garden.
