Loving the daily fashion show here. All those blooms are dressed to their best! Every one I want! Smiling :-) :-)

My season was early here, too. But not because of rain. In fact, we've been in a bit of a drought situation until just recently. We had a warmer than usual Spring this year. It's like everything is blooming about a month ahead of time.

Reading about how well so many of your daylilies are doing because of rain .... just goes to show that rain (lots of water) does make for happy daylilies! I often wonder if the acid in the rain also helps because simply watering with well water does not have the same affect.

The photos with lots of scapes and blooms are really wonderful! My clumps are not near as big, but I can see that happening next year. I've had a rather nice show this year myself. The more established my plants, the better they get and the more blooms. I am also seeing a number of re-blooms this year. Some as far apart as 2 months! That kind of surprised me. I was expecting the second wave of blooms to be about a month later, not two months later. Is that typical or unusual for a two month gap from blooms to re-blooms?

And I have noticed the beeeeautiful green foliage in many photographs here! I am soooo envious! No rust or pest damage! Beautiful plants!!!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
