DayLilies in our Yard, 2014; Part I

ROSIE MEYER Daylilies (taken on 6/15/14);  I captured these with the sun shining on them.

As of today,  we have had 51 different Daylily Varieties to bloom in our yarrd.--with more to come.   This has been an excellent year for both lilies and daylilies.   And the good news is that we now buy Re-blooming DayLilies ---so many of these will bloom again in the Fall!

Today I will show you 15 of these little beauties.  The ones I am showing today are from the Side Flowerbed  (where we can enjoy them from the swing on our deck) and from the little area near our Garage.    (The ones which have not bloomed yet on the side are Siloam Plum Tree and Brigade;  and one near the Garage, named Bicolor.)

Hope you enjoy seeing some of our DayLilies today.  Be sure to click on them for enlargements.

CUSTARD CANDY DayLily  (6/18/14);  We have Custard Candy in two different areas of our yard, the Front Flowerbed and along the Side.

BAMA BOUND DayLilies  (6/26/14) --I'm not a fan of Alabama sports, but this is a gorgeous Daylily.

FRED HAM DayLily  (6/26/14)

CAROLYN CRISWELL DayLily (6/26/14);  I took this one with the sun shining on it!

BRIGHT SUNSET DayLilies  (6/26/14);  We have this one in two places in our yard, the Side and near the Garage.  I took this one on the side with the sun shining on it.

JOAN SENIOR DayLilies  (6/27/14);  (Looks similar to Fred Ham pictured above)

PANDORA'S BOX DayLily (6/27/14);  This little cutie is  in two places in our yard,  on the side and in the Daylily Bed.

SPELLBINDER DayLily (6/27/15);  Unfortunately,  the deer got some of these this year--so I'm glad that I did get a picture before we lost the rest!  Dang!

RED VOLUNTEER DayLily (6/28/14);  Glad we have had this one this year since it did not bloom in 2013.

STRAWBERRY CANDY DayLily (7/02/14);  This is a gorgeous daylily I think.

EYE YI YI DayLilies  (7/02/14);  I love the name of this daylily --and we have it in two places in our yard:  by the Garage and in the DayLily Bed.

DARING DECEPTION DayLily (7/03/14)

PRAIRIE BLUE EYES DayLilies  (7/03/14);  Even though this one is NOT blue,  it is still a pretty daylily.

HUSH LITTLE BABY DayLilies  (7/03/14);  Of all of the daylilies featured today,  this is by far one of my favorites, along with Spellbinder..

********
 Here are the two beds where today's DayLilies are located.

DayLilies by the Garage: Eye Yi Yi, Bright Sunset,  Fred Ham, and one more to bloom, Bicolor

This is where most of the DayLilies that I have posted today are located --although in this photo,  you can mostly see the LILIES.. Right now,  most of the Lilies are gone --and we have  Daylilies blooming here. 

Hope you have enjoyed seeing my first set of Daylilies in our yard.  What is your favorite(s) out of this group?????  I love the close-ups of them individually,  but I also love them in big groups.  Obviously,  there are many more to come --just like the Roses and Lilies!!!!! (It's hard to keep up...)

Have a wonderful day...

Around Our Yard on July 4, 2014

Flag flying in our Yard on July 4 like it does everyday;  Happy Birthday America!

Hope ALL of you enjoyed the holiday weekend,  at least those of us who were celebrating this particular holiday.  George and I stayed home ---and just enjoyed our yard and flowers and the gorgeous weather we enjoyed on the 4th.  Our temperatures that day were PERFECT  (in the 50's for a low and in the 70's for a high)... AMAZING....  AND--not only did we have mild temperatures but we also enjoyed very blue skies,  sunshine, low humidity and no haze.... Like I said,  we truly had a PERFECT day!

We relaxed and just enjoyed each other on that day and then enjoyed eating some steaks which George grilled for us --along with a baked potato,  sliced tomatoes and some cranberry relish... And of course,  we HAD to have some watermelon.  DELICIOUS!!!

Today I will share with you photos of our beautiful yard on that day... I took photos several different times during the day for different perspectives.  Hope you enjoy the photos since our Lilies and Daylilies are showing off  now.... We are so blessed to have all of these beauties in our yard.  Hope you enjoy seeing them.  Be sure to click on the photos for enlargements.

Our yard early in the morning on July 4th;   I took this one in the road looking toward the house. Can you see the SUNBEAMS?????  (Click on this one.)

TOUCHING Lilies have really put on an amazing show this year!  You should smell these beauties!

Beautiful lily in our Lamppost Flowerbed named LOMBARDIA;  I love the colors!

Looking through the TOUCHING Lilies at the beautiful blue sky;

Daylilies named PERFECT PEACH GLORY

Looking across the yard --showing off the Road Flowerbed from the road;  This bed has Tulips, Irises, Roses, Lilies and Daylilies.  The bloomers now are Daylilies and Lilies and a few Roses.

A photo of ELEGANT CANDY Daylilies and TOUCHING Lilies ---against the really blue sky

CAMERON QUANTZ Daylily (one of my fav's since I love pastels)

Looking at the Road Flowerbed from the other direction (looking up the street);  This photo really shows off all of the colors. 

PANDORA'S BOX Daylily  (I love getting pictures of them in groups.)

Our home in Summer (what you can see of it)...  We love our big shade trees (until the leaves fall in Autumn... ha).  AND  whichever month I take a picture of our home,  it always looks different.  In June there were tons of Roses in bloom. This month--it's the Lilies and Daylilies TURN to SHINE.

As I said,  all of these photos were taken on July 4.  Many of my blog friends have been following me for years ---so you see our flowers every year.  Some of you might think that it's the same every year.  BUT--it is not.  Last year my favorite lily was one named PINK PERFECTION.  That one got damaged in a freeze this year --so we only had a few blooms... BUT--TOUCHING (which bloomed last year but not this much) decided that it was 'her' year to show off... I've probably taken 100+ photos of this lily... Amazing...

I'm not always pleased at how my photos come out--but this set made me smile.  I especially loved the one with the sunbeam (since I didn't notice it until I put the photo on the computer).. I also love the ones showing that gorgeous blue sky with the flowers in the photos!!!  Hope you enjoyed hearing and seeing more of our holiday!
