Here she comes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemerocallis_fulva ' Tawny ' is open for our viewing pleasure .. Known in some areas as a Ditch Lily since she isn't fussy where she is .. A 'true-died-in-the-wool' day lily person usually lets you know in a heart beat -- That is not a day lily ! Honest ... I have been told that on some gardening sites that it is invasive and so on .. If somebody wants to bloom in my Garden of Surprises .. Can't give a hoot if she has 'papers' or a pedigree ! I say -- Bloom on, My Dear ! Bloom On ~ (but if you start crowding out somebody else, you will have to decide which of you would like a transfer to another home .. would never get rid of all .. not possible) Oh, and keep an eye open for the Deer .. so far .. so good ! © All rights reserved * 3 PiP -Top Left of each photo * Another Link In The Chain ..
