The Weekend Arrives.....

Well the weekend is here and that means it is time for me to go to my real job.. I guess real means, the job that brings home a paycheck and insurance.. If I could I would work in the garden as a profession, but for some reason it doesn't pay the bills.. Green Thumb Sunday I am hesitant to join, as I am usually at work or sleeping and wouldn't get to it, heaven forbid I get kicked off for non participation..

I leave you with some of my photos I recently figured out how to change via photo editor software.. Which picture is your favorite? I hope you have a VERY HAPPY WEEKEND!

Oh yes my son started his own blog, not about gardening, but his takes on things. Son of Dirty Fingernails. Swing by and check it out..

Neighbors Daylily

A neighbor of mine was getting rid of daylilies last year, because she was so "overrun with them", so I gladly took them off her hands. This is one that she gave me, the color is so vibrant I wish I knew it's name.

Hemerocallis (Daylily) 'Paper Butterfly'

Over the past couple of years I have found myself collecting more and more daylilies.. This is one of my favorite.. It is also one that cost more than the others. The price... last year $14.99 per fan.. Needless to say I added one to my collection.

It bloomed this year and it was far to short. The stem only had 3 buds on it. But, when they opened up, boy was it beautiful. It was about 6 inches across and tall and had this dark maroon/violet eye with peach petals. I collected my gardening neighbors and showed off my prize. It lasted all of 4 days. One day it didn't bloom.

Hopefully over the next year the fan will continue to grow and I will get more stalks and more buds to salivate over.
