Best of Friends daylily

May 27, 2009


That mouthwatering, apple-green throat

Those glittering, sugar-dusted petals

Those blushing, coral stamens topped with golden, pollen-coated anthers

Those delicately ruffled petals. I just adore ‘Best of Friends’ daylily.

And I adore my best friend of 19 years, my husband, with whom I celebrated our anniversary yesterday. Ah, how young we were! Happy anniversary, honey!
And speaking of friends, I’m looking forward to a fun- and garden-filled weekend at Chicago Spring Fling with blogging friends. I won’t be blogging from the road, but I’ll take lots of pictures and will be back on Monday. Chicago, here I come!

  8. That daylily is delicious. Happy Anniversary. Time does fly by, doesn’t it.
    Have a great trip. Looking forward to hearing about it when you return.

  9. I’ve always thought you look very young in the picture at the top of your blog, were you even old enough to be legally married 19 years ago?! (hehehe) I’m so glad you see the beauty in daylilies. So many people dismiss them. Happy Anniversary!

    Hi Pam,
    long time no visit! I dropped out of the blogging world for a year, then started reading again, now am actually thinking of blogging again. So I visited all my old favorite haunts, and here I am.
    Since I’m also looking for a new camera that will allow good macros, but can’t make up my mind, when your amazing photos popped I thought, “who better to ask?” So, if I may, what camera do you use?
    By the way the flowers are beautiful, but you and your husband on your wedding day are even more so! Congratulations.

  25. Awww, what a beautiful wedding photo, Pam! Thank you so much for sharing! I love these older photos that reveal parts of ourselves our gardening blogger friends would never otherwise know about us. Happy Anniversary! Kathryn
