Mamaw's Daylillies

These are a few pictures of my first daylillies of the season.





Last spring, my dad and I went to my Mamaw's old house and dug up some of her daylillies to put in my yard. They bloomed some last year, but nothing like this year. My mamaw was an amazing gardener. I would always say that she could put a stick in the ground and it would grow the most beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, I did not get the gardening gene in the family. I am so thankful that we transplanted these flowers last year because everytime I look at them I think about her. I was blessed to lived next door to her for the majority of my life. She and my mom were two of the greatest women I knew. They have both gone on to be with the Lord and I can tell Heaven has never been the same since. I miss both of them terribly.

Thanks! They are very special to me. I truly believe that the only reason they live is b/c they came from my mamaw. I am not very good and keeping things alive outside.
