When we first moved into our house (before I ever discovered Etsy), I bought a few fans of daylillies from Wal-Mart. As much as I like the prices there, nothing from Wal-Mart EVER seems to live past a week for me. Reluctantly, I planted the 6 daylilly fans surrounding our Arizona Sunset roses.
They struggled. Two died. And Four continued to struggle. Last year a few greens just sat there and no blooms appeared.
A few weeks ago, they finally started to take off! Sending up their sun-scopes to reach as high as possible for the sun. The stems have been waving in the wind for a couple weeks and then the little buds appeared. Last week they plumped up. And then... success! the first blooms!

Daylillies
After work I got home and spent some time going through etsy. I always love viewing ommat's shop. Definitely one of my favorites!
I love reviewing her shop mainly for the daylillies. I love the selection and keep promising myself that one day I am going to find just the right spot in the yard to create my daylilly garden, and then I'll buy several of the wonderful varieties that she has available in her shop. But I just haven't found it yet... soon I hope!
This is the newest one that caught my eye...

Amaryllis in the Springtime
My favorite thing about Spring is the flowers.
A couple weeks ago, our gardens in front of the house began to burst into bloom with this beautiful double amaryllis. A shimmery white with pink, frilly edges that gracefully dances in the wind. And although the bloom has passed now, it led the brigade of flowers into Spring and now the garden is full of large bright red, white, pink, and candy-striped blossoms.
Just to the front of our Amaryllis gardens, our roses stand tall with graceful, delicate pink blooms that tower over the purple and blue mini pansies and red and yellow snapdragons. And in each corner of the rose gardens there is a daylilly.
This morning when I woke up, I found the excitement of my day! The first daylilly opened it's little yellow face to the world today! We planted them last year, but nothing ever bloomed.
It's so exciting to see the growth in our yard. I can't wait to see what else is due to bloom!
