Recently I was thinking about the cost of daylilies. No, this is not about money. Maybe you even got your daylilies as pass along plants, like the ones I got from my friend, Barb.

And so it starts. Just a beautiful Summer afternoon. A perfect time for checking out a Daylily Farm. I’d never been to a Daylily Farm. Saw the sign a day before.
