I was looking for something to do outside this week with the baby and we found ourselves wandering around at R. Seawright Gardens in Carlisle, Mass. It’s a farm that grows daylilies and hostas in a big field. You walk around with a price list and pick out the flowers you like and the employees dig them up for you. I wasn’t shopping this time. I just went because July is when most of the flowers bloom and it’s really pretty.
When we got home, I decided to spend some time photographing the daylilies at my house (most of which came from that big field).
All my daylilies are ready to split, I think. This is at least the third or fourth summer for all of them and they’ve gotten noticeably bigger. I found some Web sites that say spring is the time to split (oops, missed that boat), but others say you can do it in late summer after they finish blooming. Perfect!
