Mama brought me this day lily last fall and we've watched the flower buds anxiously wondering what the flowers would look like. The variety is called 'Pink Ruffles' I believe, but I'm happy with the more peachy color it actually has. It's a very large flower and more fragrant than I've ever noticed day lilies to be.
I'm trying to make myself work inside the art room today (it needs cleaned up!) but it's so hard when the weather is so pretty. This is going to be a balancing act this time of year I'm afraid. Our etsy team, NC Triad Etsians is working on getting a craft show (or a few) this fall and I'd like not to wait until the last minute!
A couple of people have asked about "the grandchicks" and I'd like to let y'all know they are doing fine. We've ended up with one rooster that we're going to have to decide what to do with. He's not crowing but he's growing fast (he seems to be the lazy over eater of the three and if anyone's familiar with our cats, you might agree that we somehow do this to animals). I'm waiting for Adam to expand the run and then I think I might get another hen or two. They are SO much fun to have in the yard!
The flower really did turn out pretty, didn't it??? And the chicks are growing fast! Love your post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! What a good picture of the flower,I love Lillies. We have a yard full of them,only bought a few, people like to share them with my DH, as he can grow anything! I am trying to grow a couple regular tomato plants and a couple small tomato plants, I do love tomatoes, so hope the produce lots!
ReplyDeleteThe chicken (hen) is really big, I would be afraid of him, but then I would probably be afraid of a small one LOL
When you all decide to have a craft sale, be sure to post about it, so I don't miss it!
Take Care, Jewell
