We had a great Daylily Show today. We had a member from another club, the MS Gulf Coast Daylily Society, show up thank goodness or we would have been hurting for entered scapes. We had a total of 99 scapes entered and she brought 43 of them. Normally I bring 30-40 and all I could get was 16. Either things were about bloomed out or just not opened. Anything that would have required a lot of grooming I just left in the garden. Fred usually brings quite a bit also and he only had 19 to enter.
I'm going to have to get a different colored backdrop for the photos because it seems to distort the colors somewhat with the black and then the lighting that the mall has.
