      A New Dawn

      Morning All. I need a need too look at beauty instead of the vile things going on around out in the world today. Some of the pics are blurry but so are my eyes in the morning and some of the flowers and leaves have blemishes but what in life does not.

      So nice! We all love flowers and plant them, but it's difficult to get them all so healthy like yours. You are so good.

      Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I really enjoy the day lilies and Phlox. I love all the different blooms from the Rudbeckia's and Coneflowers.

      Many years ago there was not very many homesteads or famlands all around the south that did not have a patch of ditch lilies.The common ditch lily that we all have came from China and when people started coming here from the Old World they brought them with them. Now the variety that I have blooms a triple or duble bloom. Wiki tries too tell you its only been around since 2006 but its been around my whole life and I am 66 years old. My father dug them up in my grandmothers yard in Muskogee Oklahoma in the 60's and took them too Charleston S.C where he planted them in his garden and he ordered a lot of new ones then also so he hard all colors and he brought them all back too Oklahoma when he came. He shared them with my Aunt Velma Carter because she took care of his plants he brought back with him when we moved back. Now over the years I have added many varieties too the collection most of mine are rebloomers. I dont have any of the truly fancy ones that they have come out with though. Dont have that kind of budget.lol. These were one of dads favorite flowers next too Iris.

      Beautiful pictures.

      The double daylily pictured is Kwanso. A very old flower from the 1700s. It is a triploid and has three sets of chromosomes vs the normal two. This makes it infertile to cross pollinate.

      Thanks for the heads up I read about it but it said 2006 I guess that was when the info was updated on wiki. I knew that we had always had them. I have some single blooms too but might have lost them. we used too think they only bloomed double every other year but I guess they were mixed together at one time
