October Day Lilies

As the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen passed over this slice of North Carolina heaven, it finally began to feel more like fall. The weekend leading up to this rainy weather event held onto its summerishness and Saturday felt downright hot, with temps about 12 degrees above normal.

After a decade in the Roediger House, and finding each summer that the established day lilies I inherited with the house had a short mid-summer blooming spell, I must tell you how pleased I am at getting more out of the new ones that I have planted. I was also surprised that some of them popped out with some fresh fall blooms, long after I thought they were done showing off for the year.
