A Daylily (or Fifty) a Day Keeps the Blues Away

...Actually, I don't know what's the highest number of daylily blooms we've had in our garden on a single day... Most of our clumps aren't "mature", so they don't usually have several blooms open at a time, but during Peak Daylily Season, there can be quite a few scattered around the whole yard on any given day.

Fortunately (?) for you, I've saved up days and days-- weeks!-- of daylily photos to unleash upon the world in one fel...icitous swoop!  Fifty plus of them today!  A bumper crop!  (Get it? Crop?  Ah, photographer's humor at its finest...)

Let's get started!

There were a lot of duplicate plants in there, but I hope no duplicate photos.  (A few almost sneaked in, somehow, so excuse me if I missed one!)

Believe it or not, there are still quite a few photos still left to sort through and edit.  One batch at a time! 

Next time will probably be non-daylilies, for a hint of variety.
