Daylily "Gifts" #2

Second of two-part series:

Over the years, Gardens at Waters East has posted a number of photos of the many day lilies that have been hybridized here.  You can page back through the archives of this Blog if you want to check them out once again.

This posting is going to show photos of some of the many daylily “gifts” that have been given to the gardens by local gardeners who know that the Gardens at Waters East always has room for one more – and takes pleasure in showing these day lilies off to visitors.  These gifts are adding to the ever-expanding collection of great plants, and some have been used in the hybridizing process for those day lilies created here in the gardens.

With that in mind - - here are some of the many day lilies now growing in the gardens thanks to the generosity of other gardeners.

unless otherwise marked.

NOTE:   Since this Blog is meant to be an accurate journal of the gardens;

no photos are “staged”, “arranged”, or ”photo-shopped” in anyway.

What is posted – is what it here.  It is what it is.

In Your Face #9

In Your Face!!!

Me, me, me.  Look at me.  No, look at me.  Better yet, skip all those and look at me!  Walking through the Gardens at Waters East, one almost hears this constant refrain.  Every plant wants attention.  Every bloom is screaming – “I’m so beautiful just look at me!”  In many cases they are right.  Take a look at some of the beauties basking in the sun and calling to be the center of your attention. Checkout the detail of some of the garden residents.

All of these “portraits” were take here in the gardens.  Self centered though they may be, the flowers do make you stop and stare.  They seem to be doing “their thing” just for you.  So why not indulge them for a few moments while walking the paths.

Here then are photos for this posting

Enjoy
