My next door neighbor was actually born in his house, which he inherited from his parents. And when he was a little boy, he planted some lilies in the patch of ground that seperates our front walks. And every year, they bloom in late may to early June, and bring such beauty to the block.

It's easy to get hooked on gardening when the fruits of ones labor produce such beauty.

Lilies are one of my faves, whether day lilies (as these appear to be) or the asiatic. Imagine living for years in the home you were born iin!

Pat,
These orange day lilies remind me so much of summer. They are all over the place now and always look gorgeous next to or up against all the blue or purple hydrangea that are in bloom now. Also both plants last well into the end of the summer and into early fall.
Hi Pat, love the picture. From your posts, it sounds like you live in a really great area and have some wonderful neighbors!

I love it when the neighbors grow beautiful plants for everyone to see Pat.
Oh yes, those are such cheerful flowers. My parents used to have some of those too and they always bloom at such a great time of the year.
Every year when they bloom he probably thinks back to when he planted them! Imagine all the family history in that house!
Thanks for sharing your photogaph. It is the time for daylilies to show their colors in our area.
Good morning Pat,
So pretty, what a wonderful way to welcome summer each year!
I love Lillie's and their fragrance that fill the air and the beautiful color that say spring and summer are here
Pat, That's so awesome. CAn you imagine having such a long connection to a home with something still there that you personally planted? That's fabulous and they are so beautiful, too!
That's pretty amazing that he still lives in the same house and that the flowers continue to bloom every year. What nice memories they must bring to him each year.
There is something special about spring and the flowers that shine for our cameras during that time.
