Daylily Haiku Thursday | Daylily Blog about a Blank Slate!

<posted March 14, 2013> 

This is the daylily H. 'Cave Creek Canyon.'  I just love its edge, which seems to stand erect off of the petal, and not just sit on the outskirts of it.   Its tightly sewn, showing off the brilliant gold-metallic coloration!

Here is the spring project, friends.  The boulders and the sandstone stairs are finally in and placed just so.  It's a blank slate for the start of our real front yard.

Will it be round or spiky; tall or short?  Wispy and full of motion, or organized and tidy?  Evergreens, trees, boxwoods, hosta, hydrangea, daylily, daisy, canna, sage, plumbago, phlox, wooly thyme or roses?  YES!


My neighbors are as curious as I am as to what it will become...

C'mon Spring!
