Although I'm a landscaper by trade up until a few years ago I was unable to have my own gardens. I was aware of Daylilies of course since I was in the Horticultural field, but my knowledge was pretty much limited to the "wild" orange Tiger lilies from when I grew up and the occasional yellow variety, as well at the limited choice that my plant suppliers had available.

I knew I wanted to grow Daylilies in my garden because they are such a low maintenance plant with great rewards and usually you will find that the last thing a landscaper wants to do when they get home is well, landscape.

I turned to the internet and fell in LOVE with the 1000's of varieties available from around the country!

I started this blog to share the photos of my Daylilies with friends and family and hopefully anyone that is interested in learning more about the hundred or so that I am presently growing. I will be adding photos on a regular basis. Please click on each one to enlarge it.

If you enjoy my blog please click on the advertisements, you don't have to do anything other than that. It doesn't cost you anything but it does earn me money and that way I can continue to buy new Daylilies to show you.

Thankyou very much!

Kindly Light "Spider" Daylily


   Being a "Spider" flower type for a Daylily means that the petals have to be 5 inches or longer.  Kindly Light hits the 5 inch mark in my garden, but can grow to 7.  Lemon with a hint of green, this photo does the color justice. Blooms actually stay open about 16 hrs. morning to night. The height is 24-36 in. and they bloom midseason.  This is a classic spider which has been around for over 60 years.
Can be found at OakesDaylilies.com and bloomingfieldsfarm.com.
