Banner Day '08

We've had rain all night and all morning, but it's a banner day for daylilies blooming in my garden. It's a day for maximum photos and minimum text.

There are a couple of new blooms that I am seeing for the first time in my garden. Last year Someplace Special didn't bloom at all (I may have bought it when it was past its bloom time), and Trahlyta bloomed while it was still in the pot from the nursery. This is how they both look after being planted and spending a winter in my garden -- unfortunately, the rain has affected them quite a bit.

And here is today's special treat (for me anyway). I call them The Offspring. These two blooms showed up on one of my seedlings I planted in a neglected corner of the garden.
