August 4

.

Daylilies.



Thistle.



Closer crop.



Closer yet.  I never saw this little guy, until I got this image on "the big screen".....  That is one teeny tiny inchworm.  Millimeter worm?



Looking straight down at the same thistle flower.



Echinops, with coneflowers.



Closer crop.



Daylily.


Daylily breeders are really going to town.  Much bigger flowers than before (some way bigger than my outstretched hand), and much smaller......  As well as more petals, more substance, and new colors.............

I've seen more daylilies of all kinds this year than ever before.  More of the old-fashioned ones, and more new kinds, in more gardens..........  Hooray for daylilies!
