Nearly Black Daylilies

July is the month that the heat loving
plants come into play.
The darkest daylilies I have are nearly black.

Yesterday it was above 100 degrees

outside and these flowers stood tall, strong
and never thought about wilting.

(It's been around 100 for a few days now.)

By itself the color might seem too bold,

but put them next to green boxwood,

lemon-lime-colored angelina sedum

and a little variegated silver queen

and they look rather subdued!

This weekend I was reading

that daylilies are edible.

Organic Green Silverware

Today a fair wind brought

many creative ideas 

my way as I worked outside.

Why not make our own edible silverware?

Doesn't that sound fun?

It was for me.

Someone make dinner,

someone set the table,

and someone cut up the silverware.

Fun. Fun. Fun.

I love all of the little details.

This salad would make a

little woodland fairy happy, too.

I pulled weeds from the garden

and tilled part of it for the 5th time,

but who is counting?

Maybe the ideas come from the

jarring of the tiller?

Weeds or flowers or both.

They are still a pretty spray of white.

So many tiny flower petals

surround the golden sun center.
