Alice, we had mentioned in the other post about drifts of daffodils and the orange daylillies...While looking through the depths of my computer files for other photos...I found these two from my days on the Chesapeake Bay..
I had gotten a large clump of these from my brother in Yorktown..and divided them over the years to make a huge semi circle across the whole back yard...Included in that first clump were a few of the protected 'Yorktown Onions' which (allegedly) only grow on the parkway..but happily established themselves in Gloucester just across the river..and later in Greenville , NC.
This was my reality 5 -7 times a year..with NorEasters...extreme Lunar tides and hurricanes.
The daylillies, rugosa roses and wax myrtles just shrugged the salt water off. During hurricane Isabelle, I had 7' of salt water in my yard for 3 days. But as a Master Gardener, I have never been more frustrated than I was here in VA.
