Cricket Dance
'Cricket Dance' is one I planted in late August last year. It was infested with thrips but I got it at a good price. It looks a lot like 'Woodside Rhapsody' in colour, but the petals are narrower and very tightly recurved, whereas 'Woodside Rhapsody' has wider, ruffled petals.
Lavender Rainbow, Today's Bloom
'Lavender Rainbow' is usually a lighter colour and more delicate, as in this picture of a bloom from last year. (Some but not all of the colour difference is the result of using a different camera.)
Lavender Rainbow 2005
As you can see, today's bloom is missing the delicate lavender watermark that makes this such a beautiful flower when it looks the way it should.
And here, of course, is the usual gratuitous garden view.

The Lavender Rainbow looks a lot like the daylily I posted about today that was mislabeled.
Since I've been searching the net today trying to find out for sure what it was, I've seen a LOT that look very similar.
It's lovely.
I totally love this look. Do you have soil in landscaper's cloth between the rocks? Do tell. : )
When the landscapers put the rocks in, they worked with the natural slope in the yard. And yes, they did bring in a lot of soil. All the soil is supported by cloth behind the rocks. (Our neighbours have rocks that were put in by pool people, who didn't use cloth, and they have all kinds of problems as a result.)
The rainbow is my absolute favorite! Today I will blog new photos from my Hems.

Just beautiful pictures. I only found this site on the weekend, and I am totally hooked. You are whetting my appetite for more daylilies. I found the site when looking for pictures of the new daylilies I am putting in my garden journal.
Fabulous colours!
I love the garden view. Wonderful rocks and all those beautiful plants! You keep it looking lovely!
What a contrast in colors between those 2 pictures! Amazing.
