what a delicate love pink it is.

This plant is new, first bloom. I have another one in front that I've had longer. Westbournes seem to do pretty well for me although I am still waiting for a couple to bloom that I've had over a year now.

Ruthz may I ask what zone you are in ?

What a pretty soft pink. The white Queen Anne's Lace sure sets it off. Good shot of a lovely bloom............Maryl

Signet, I'm in 8a, Dallas/Fort Worth area. And we're already in the high eighties to nineties.

Thank you Mary. The white flowers are Orlaya which do look a lot like Queen Anne's Lace, but shorter.

Oh, so very pretty! The Orlaya sets off the pink so very beautifully.

Is that Orlaya grandiflora? I ask because mine are huge and would hide my daylilies. I would love to know if there is a shorter version.

Jo

Lovely shade of pink! The Orlaya makes a nice background.

Lori

Very pretty! And it goes so well with the Orlaya.

I love the pink too! This shade of pink is my favorite in a daylily.

I'd like to see more hybridizing in this shade of pink.

jo, yes it's Orlaya grandiflora. I have it scattered around the yard as it readily reseeds. Most are around two to three feet tall.

I love this shade of pink and would also like to see more.

Just about the time I think I know it all (or anything worth knowing) in the flower department I come across something like Orlaya. I've never heard of it before. I dismiss many plants because they just can't take my climate or soil, but if this grows around the Dallas area I may have to look into it. Never seen it in any of the private nurseries here either. How badly does it reseed for you and are you in the horrible clay soil they have down that way?..........Maryl

Yes Mary, hot weather and horrible clay soil.

I'll have a ton of seeds soon. Check back with me and I could send some your way.

I welcome the reseeding and sprinkle them around.

I dont know if Orlaya (its very pretty ) would grow here in zone 6a but instead I have roman camomile and feverfew and purple sensation allium and poppies that reseed here. Love em all .
