Orange, Peach & Ruffled Apricot

A few more images from my visit to the Flower Gardens at Bernheim Arboretum from a few weeks ago. I could not believe the varieties of Day Lilies, until I saw this garden in bloom near the Visitor Center. This gorgeous peach colored Day Lily with it's dainty ruffled edges is called Ruffled Apricot. I absolutely adore the name.

As I walked around the flower gardens I happened upon this beautiful Day Lily with a two toned hue. I had never seen this species before, nor had I seen the Ruffled Day Lily either. I love this one almost as must as the Ruffled Apricot. It is called Peach Candy. Oh, my gosh, is that not appropriate.

Finally, here's the last of the orange themed Day Lilies I captured while visiting Bernheim. This beauty is called Orange Vols. I haven't a clue where the Vols part came from, but I totally get the orange. This particular Day Lily looks more like the Day Lilies I see blooming in gardens in and around houses in neighborhoods. If I ever decide to plant Day Lilies, now I know to look for some of these unusual varieties. I hope your week is off to a good start. Back soon. Stay cool. ENJOY!

In the Gardens, Bernheim Arboretum

On the back side of a business trip to Louisville this week, as I made my way home to Tennessee yesterday, I stopped at Bernheim Arboretum, my favorite green space on the planet. It's right off I-65 as you leave Louisville. As I passed the Day Lily Gardens, I knew I would be driving the parameter road a second time to capture some pics of the gorgeous blooms.

You know when I caught sight of this deep maroon Day Lily with its bright yellow center, I couldn't resist taking a couple of different perspectives. I love this particular hue. So rich looking. You will never guess it's name. It's Morning Eye Candy. Well, now isn't that just so totally appropriate. It definitely is that and even looks good enough to eat if one could eat a Day Lily.

Oh, how I miss photographing more often at Bernheim, but it's a tad far for a photo session from Hendersonville. This heat wave we are in the throws of in the middle states of the United States is very serious. So everyone be very, very careful when you venture out. I'll write another post featuring more Day Lily images I captured at Bernheim soon. Have a fabulous weekend. The 4th is coming! ENJOY!
