pitter-patter Daylily flowers don't have much flavour, but neither does lettuce. You could use them for adding colour to your salads. Apparently they have quite a lot of vitamin C, so they are good for you if you have scurvy.
Some new dahlias for me this year, as I lost so many from last year. Partly my fault as I didn't protect the tubers in the ground as I usually do, but also I guess partly the weather...
Lou Farman is enormous, much bigger than I expected ... 14cm across...
Very happy that this tiny tuber overwintered... it was a seedling from the darker purple Night Butterfly last year. I don't have much real red in the garden otherwise unfortunately. Its parent, Frustratingly, many blooms are getting instantly eaten by snails this year, whether the plants are in the ground or potted. apart from this one (which might be a Sarasota Joy one)- they even leave the leaves alone! Time to plant some more sacrificial hostas and marigolds I suppose!
