Hi Fellow Enthusiasts! I'm all done posting photos into the database and DOTD threads. That took months. So, it's time to begin that fun, annual adventure, a walk through memory lane!
The basic idea, for those who haven't been on this tour before, is that I go through my garden day by day posting the ( literally) thousands of photos that I didn't have time to post in July…mostly because I was busy taking them. And working. And having a life.
But here we are, and it's Winter! What better time to review the fabulous faces and colors of a July garden? Last year this also became a forum for all sorts of asides, comments, discussions about plants, hybridizers, etc. If you want to use this thread to review your own unposted garden photos, I'm sure no one here will object to more pictures of Daylilies! After all, I only have 900 of them ( so far) so, a limited variety. And fair warning! This is a daily tour of what was actually open on a given day. I don't have a problem with taking photos of the same plant day by day. To me they always look different. Different day. Different light, different flower, different angle. So be prepared for repeats. This is what they do in your gardens too, I'm sure.
So here we go! Please step into my Time Machine as we turn the dial back to July 1, 2023. Looks like I posted a bunch that day…but not all!

These two shots of Middle Daylily Hill were not posted. Ok, Back and Upper Daylily have never been posted for July 1, so the next post won't be picked over already. That's enough for now! Welcome back!
