  • First Daylilies, Last Tulips

    Yes, since you ask, Father Pitt did plant tulips right in front of this patch of daylilies so he could take these pictures proving that these daylilies do really bloom as early as the end of tulip season. The pictures were taken on May 13, and old Pa Pitt does not know of any other daylilies blooming that early in the city. The variety has no name, since it came from a batch of mixed unnamed hybrid seedlings.

  • Pinkish Daylily

  • The Earliest Daylily

    Every year these daylilies bloom at the end of May, often while the last tulips are still blooming, and weeks before most of the other daylilies in the city appear. They came from an unnamed hybrid seedling.

  • Daylilies After the Rain

    It had been raining all day, but in the evening there was enough of a lull for old Pa Pitt to get out and take these pictures. The daylilies are all unnamed varieties from a planting of mixed hybrid seedlings.
