Stella D’Oro Daylily
Great is Thy Faithfulness – “As Thou has been, Thou forever will be.”
The Stella D’Oro keeps blooming for much of the spring and summer. The continuous blooms are an excellent picture of God’s faithfulness. Some human (or group of humans) worked with this variety to improve their re-blooming ability to this point. But it’s God’s strength and power (and faithfulness) that causes them to grow at all.

The English Garden Look – Getting Closer
Sharon and I like to watch the English mystery TV shows (Poirot, Miss Marple, Inspector Lewis, etc.) During those I often notice the flower gardens. They’re so full with so many different plants. Something to see wherever your eye turns. I’ve been working toward something like that, and this year it is getting closer. Perhaps, some day.
“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalms 16:11 ESV
Phlox By the Fence
One of my favorite plants. It has one of the brightest, whitest flowers. I haven’t had success with the red ones, though. Not sure what the difference is.
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psalms 51:7 ESV
What a wonderful thought – washed clean by the blood of Jesus.
Wild Asparagus
Not exactly a bloom but I thought it was neat. It’s out in the Tree Garden – probably 500 yards from the asparagus bed I had ten or fifteen years ago. I don’t know how they spread but this one went far and wide and stayed around a long time.
“For this very reason, make every effort to supplement…godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love” 2 Peter 1:7 ESV
