Great time..Karen has a magical place full of daylilies and other wonder plants. You could get lost wondering in the gardens. We enjoyed ourselves so much...and came home with goodies as usual
Nuts for Daylilies RoundUp
more pictures
Evelyn and her mom...Mom forgot her hat ...but she sure is a knowledgeable garderner...Would I love to spend some time with her...She could certainly help idenify some of my "unknowns"
Harper tried to sneak by but I got her...
Charlie Brown did not like being on a leash...I think everyone thought he was "nasty" but he really he is a love "off the leash"... He does not like meeting other dogs while on a leash...next time...He'll stay home...Bella, on the other hand was friendly as can be...
We all enjoyed a lovely tour around Karen's Daylily garden...unbelievable the number she has...'ENVY ENVY ENVY.
Water garden, Karen put in herself...LOTS OF TALENT THERE.
Liza, thanks so much for posting these photos! We sure hated not to be there and to see Karen's lovely gardens. It likes like everyone had a great time!
Ooops, I'm Susan, that's my Mom, but she'll be thrilled to get a write up on Davesgarden! We both had a wonderful time, the people were fantastic, as usual, and the daylilies were just beyond the imagination!
Susan, pardon me for laughing, but I am just remembering when I was calling you "Nancy" and now Liza's calling you "Evelyn". LOL

Can you tell how relaxed we were? That's my namesake Boojum the dog on the right.
Liza (JWLW) with Charlie Brown, John (DH), Doug (Robindog's DH) and Emily (CapeCodGardener).
Karen (nutsfordaylily, our hostess) and her dad.
Karen said I always get her eating, so I got her eating. Here with Margaret, her friend Karen and Bill. I never got to talk to Bill :(
Karen's dog Patches whipped around but I got his Dalmatian spots.
Guess who! Great to meet you Andy!
Sharon (perenniallyme) tried to step out of this pic. Good luck, Sharon! Gotcha!

The ladies relaxing in the back yard- Sharon, Liza, and Frances.
Karen and the water feature.
The gardens.
The tour begins.
Daylilies!
Some of Karen's mom's seedlings. Karen wants to introduce these.
Another seedling.
Wow! Loved these. I thought I had a lot of daylilies at 250, but Karen has (I think I heard) 600 varieties!!!
Here are Andy, Marilyn (Robindog) and Emily (CCG) in back enjoying Karen's information. In some areas of the gardens she is clearing, Karen let us dig out daylilies we chose-so generous of her!
Oh here's a pic of the house and some of the plants for the plant swap.
A few more daylilies. It was daylily heaven.
Yum.
I took a million more, but back to business. The yankee swap, only no one wanted anyone else's loot. Here's my DBF Daniel choosing a gardening book.
Andy (Sarahskeeper) was intrigued by another book.
And Frances picked a book too.
Karen's dad was a bit more practical!!
Emily (CapeCodGardener) was happy no one took her garden plaque away. Look at that grin of relief!!
And so ended a perfect RU!! Thanks again, Karen (and good night!)
very nice photos Boo!!!.... so glad the weather held out for you guys
I just loved all the pictures of the DGers and putting a face to the name.
Karens gardens are beautiful and extensive. I had no idea.
Thanks for sharing. So glad the weather cooperated for you.
