The
Country Cousin Lilies
A late
bloomer this year but lovely all the same. These daylilies are seen
all over the place in Texas gardens and usually grow profusely once
they are established. Whether or not they are considered “native”
plants or not I don't know . We had lots growing in our yard when we
moved in but mostly in shady areas so we don't get as many blooms as
we would like.
I will
try and move at least some of them into a sunny spot where we will
get a better display next year.
The
other lilies ( the birthday lilies)are cultivated lilies and did
very well but are entirely a different kind of lily. These country
cousins as the name implies , only last a day before they fade away.
The good thing is they often have 2 or 3 buds then waiting to open.
I just
love the color among the green.
