I received my Lily Auction order from Michele yesterday (she mailed it via Priority Mail on Monday and it wasn't delivered until Friday -- bad bad USPS!), but the plants still look wonderful! It rained something like a half-inch here this morning, which is practically unheard of in Bakersfield, and the sun finally came out so I ventured out there to take this picture -- and discovered it's really windy, so back in I came for a Claritin and some lunch. We're about to have another bout of rain again, so I can tell I'm not going to get these planted until later this afternoon.
Here are the plants I received from Michele:
TET. LAVENDER BLUE BABY
FLORIDA'S GARDEN LIGHT
PORTS OF PARADISE
BETWEEN WOMEN
THE BLUE PARROT
Bonus Plants:
GUS TOWNSEND
LILLIAN'S LITTLE JOE
The neat thing about our Michele is that she picks up on what we're interested in, and then she selects a daylily for a gift plant that is just perfect. She knows I'm interested in toothy daylilies, and more recently in trying for a toothy small/mini daylily. GUS TOWNSEND is toothy, and LILLIAN'S LITTLE JOE is Fred's little one that has a bit of a toothy edge. PERFECT!
Thank you soooooo much, Michele! The plants are absolutely beautiful, and I'm sorry that because they're soaking in the tub the incredible root systems don't show in the picture. But they're fantastic!
