An addiction...

to summer and the day lilies that arrive annually, means John has planted more than a few in the garden.

 They range from the softest of pinks,

 to wine-throated yellow.

They strut their colours of lime and dusk,

 or daffodil yellow.

Seemingly demure, they throw out exotic combinations,

that make the ladies of the night seem muted in comparison.

 One needs to admire their colour and variety,

as they flaunt their seasonal beauty.  And each year, I wonder how I could bottle those colours for mixed media...I think they'd make great colour sprays!
