Lazy daisy is back in Daisy Land again. I spent the weekend away from my garden patch to visit the Day Lilly (the queen mother of Lilly Land and also known as the parental unit).

Day Lilly is having a birthday this coming week so we went to bask in the warmth of her welcome and soak up some rays of her radiance!

Crazy Daisy (baby sister) also made the pilgrimage to the Lillly Land bring a huge carrot cake all the way from Chicago.

Just like her name sake, Day Lilly is reliable, versatile, elegant and and colorful.

Daylilly flowers usually only last a single day but each plant produces so many blooms it is considered a very long blooming perennial.

My mom turns 79 in a few days. She has always been strong, reliable, elegant, gracious southern lady. She is still producing beautiful flowers......either by her volunteer work, church activities, or entertaining friends and family.

I'm hopeful that she will continue in good health, producing many more blooms for a long period of time. So raise a leaf and breath a gentle prayer in her direction for sunny skies, warm balmy breezes, life renewing refreshment, and that she always be able to lift her head and bloom.
