What beautiful daylilies, and the blackberry lily is especially interesting the way you pointed out it twists after blooming! What a lovely time of year this is for our gardens! -Beth
ReplyDeleteBeth, You are so right! We had a lot of rain last night... but it tapered off to a sweet drizzle from time to time in the early morning!
