A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch When the 48 varieties collection was planted, it was a cold, rainy day. The list of details included: height, texture, flower color, evergreen to deciduous & blooming time. All I had to look out was the roots. I attempted to mix & match colors, imagine height etc... however, I believe my husband suggested method: “toss them into the air and wherever they land is their home” would have worked just as well. First plant (bed #1)was severely shaded by Saucer Magnolia, once divided and moved toward the edge of the bed is doing better. Few branches remove from magnolia should provide more sun come next season. Divisions planted in bed #2 (2008) are doing great (photo below), more planted in spring 2009. Another plant received as present 3/2007 in EY-Bed #11 is doing great, divisions from it are now all along the inner front on same bed.

Once we made Mooring Hitch our permanent residence (Spring 2004), many truck loads of soil were deliver to build raise beds. The bare soil scream to be cover with plants.

I received a brochure offering 48 varieties of Day-lilies for $125.00 and I took it.

Day-lilies require little care: fertilize once in spring, remove dry foliage at season’s end. Occasional aphids are taking care by ladybugs. One of the 48 varieties.
