my daylilies

Jennifer Black blogged a lovely tribute to a woman who reached out to her when she was young and in desperate need of that lifeline. A drop in the stream of kindness from Mrs. Coker was a gift of daylilies. Since I read Jennifer's post, I have thought of Mrs. Coker's warmth and generosity whenever I see these daylilies in anyone's yard.

I don't know who planted my daylilies (they were there, in my first yard, when I bought that first house). I brought some of them along to this house, and they are the healthiest and most prolific flowers I have. I am grateful to the person who planted my lilies. I am glad to honor her and Mrs. Coker, enjoying "common orange daylilies" as June heats up into July.
