My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

'Opera Elegance' Daylily (Pics)

16 years ago

I had a banner day of 'Opera Elegance' yesterday (8 blooms) and thought I'd post a few pictures. What a stunning red daylily. My mother, who is not much of a gardener, went on and on about it when she stopped by yesterday. 'Opera Elegance' flanks the stone steps leading up to my house. Although I love daylilies--talk about ephemeral! Yesterday 8 blooms--today only 2. 'Ginger Jar' is picking up the slack, though.

I just love going out every day to see what's blooming! Everything is so tall! Those red hot pokers in the background are 5' tall and the Monarda 'Jacob Cline' is giving them a run for their money. I finally whacked back the Gaura 'So White.' It is at the front of the border in front of my KO roses and was about 4' high despite being a supposedly compact cultivar.

Again, I'm sorry about the less-than-stellar photographs. I'm still stuck using my cell phone for the time being. Thanks for looking.
