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
Beth, 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!
:-)
Oh wow! Nice varieties of flowers. I like all these flowers. They are awesome.

Thank you for your visit, Los Angeles.
Your garden is looking great! I love your daylilies. I too had the pleasure of meeting former blogger Iowa Boy. Have a great week!
Hi, Beth! Did you receive rainfall this morning? We were the happy recipients of 1/2"! Hurrah!
