Day 1261: Irish Royalty





Irish Royalty
In my view, this was the best day lily of the entire show and I must have it! It's lush, rich in color and texture and wonderfully fragrant.

 I'm thinking about creating a new "heritage" bed that would include lilies with names related to our families.  We saw quite a few during our tours.  Several of the gardeners had theme beds, including two who had tributes to the Wizard of Oz.  Nancy has beds with themes of cats, flight, the Bible, and food.  Steve and I are drawn to clever names and have several related to the fire service, but we have not made any particular collections yet.



Three sisters, so happy to be together!
Next year, we'll be in Louisville for the tour when Nancy's garden will be featured.  That will be a lot of work, but we're all happy to help.
We had such a great time in Atlanta that we decided to do it again in 2017 in Virginia Beach.  
Don't miss all the lovely lily photos that I've added to the past few days.
