A roadside find...


We swung through the strip pit area today...had to stop and take a photo of these lilies...a friend of mine calls them ditch lilies.

  1. Beautiful. We call them Day Lilies, because each blooming bud lasts only a day. But there are plenty others.

  12. Oh, these look very much like the lilies that I took pictures of the other day. This is a pretty picture, Rose. And I love the cheerful orange color.

    Have a nice rest of the week.

  13. I got my first day lily after seeing them in a ditch and asking the farmer if I could take a start. I LOVE them. I have since collected many other day lily and try to add a new variety as I see them.
