Daylily Parade
Here’s a peek at the daylilies that were blooming in my gardens today. You’ll also see, on the bottom left, the fuzzy little rump of a medium-sized bumblebee that buried itself in a golden-colored bloom just as I snapped the shot. And on the bottom petal of the lavendar and white daylily, if you look carefully you’ll find a tiny little native bee.
What you can’t see: two baby bunnies and a baby chipmunk that were hiding under the foliage. I tried my best to get photos of them, but boy, are they fast-moving little critters! So: close your eyes, look carefully past the flowers and down deep underneath the leaves and… there! There they are!
Adorable, aren’t they?

Gorgeous lilies! I have the orange and deep maroon ones – the deer like the early foliage but thankfully they pretty much leave the blooms alone. So beautiful!

The bunnies eat off the foliage of our asiatic and oriental lilies if they can reach ‘em, but thankfully they leave the daylilies alone. However, Michael saw two deer on our block last night, so I’m hoping they don’t discover the buffet at our place!
