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.
