The Last of the Daylilies and a Purple Datura



Most of the daylilies are finished blooming, and the few that bloomed today will be finished tomorrow, or else have one or two buds left.  I can't believe how fast summer is flying by.  The photos were taken at dusk, so aren't the best quality, plus, the blooms are getting ready to crumple up and die, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make note of the last daylilies to be in bloom, and join Tootsie's Flaunt Your Flowers.

    Thanks so much for stopping by my Art Blog. Yes, I think all the gals did a wonderful job on the butterfly Art Challenge.

    You corner yard is lovely. That purple day lily is so unique...never seen anything like it.

    I will come back later to see your previous posts.

    It is always so sad when the gardens start to fade. You still have some wonderful blooms though.

    ~Sue, it's hard to say goodbye to the daylilies~They surely signal an end to summer. Thankfully there are the Susans to carry us forth! I hope your weekend is relaxing and filled with good times in the garden. gail

    Love the datura--I also love the smell, even though I get why people would hate it. :)

    Your lillies must have been wonderful in their height of glory. Mine are getting to the end also but they sure put on a show this year. Now, onto the next bloomin' season, late summer in all its glory.

    Sue, Your daylilies are so pretty. I love the bright red one. I think daylilies are queen(s) of the garden in mid-late summer - love 'em!

    Sue, mine have been gone for a few weeks now.
    About the only thing I have going is phlox.

    I love the red with the lighter edges.

    I still have some daylilies braving struggling along in our heat. I love your yellow one with the frilled edges.
