Daylily Haiku Thursday | Autumn Begins...

blooming as leaves change~
it's boundless in its beauty,
changing as leaves bloom.


This is Stamile's H. 'Boundless Beauty,' opening perfect on a cool September morning.  This was just the sight I needed on this first day of fall.  She won't give up. She won't stop showing off.  I love it.  This bloom measured 7.5" and opened without any hang-ups, which quite often happens with these fancy-edged beauties here in Michigan.  The substance is just delicious.  I still have four buds left on this daylily and plan on relishing those last four flowers of the season.  Oh, and did I mention that this daylily is also on its THIRD set of rebloom scapes? 

Can you say awesomeness?!?

P.S.  Now if Kimberly McCutcheon can just get some of her stellar diploid patterns on a face like this...I would be in daylily heaven!

So beautiful! Can only imagine how gorgeous it must be in your garden. My gardens are still dancin' in the Summer sun... but it could all change rather quickly here.

Here's hoping you have many more days of great gardening! Ours are winding down here. Maybe only a month more will be safe to dig and divide before we go under for the winter. Sigh.
