Sammy Russell Day Lily
I love day lilies.
I only wish that their blooms would last for days and that they would rebloom over and over again all season. Yes, some day lilies do rebloom once or twice in a season but not all of them do. This day lily, the Sammy Russel, happens to rebloom at least once per season.
It’s a lovely deep maroon shade. The bloom are quite large and they stand out in the garden beds quite nicely. I can’t wait until the day lilies and all of my other flowers begin to bloom again.

Wow? I can’t believe that the Green Thumb Sunday home site hasn’t had any visitors? We have 50 members – where is everyone?
Should I cancel this whole meme?

I’m here. Had to wait until late in the day because I had too many Sunday chores, lol! I haven’t had any vistors from it either, though.
Lovely bloom! I really need to look at putting more color in my gardens.

Yes, I can´t wait either until everything blooms, but it is starting now and the garden looks greener now!
The maroon shade of your day-lily is very attractive, I have a similar no-name one but it is blooming very late in the year, so I have to wait quite a while for it.

I am here too, I came by most sites early in the morning and only caught a couple of posts, so I decided to wait until later.
Thanks for the addition and comment on my journal.
Amazing colour on your lily, such a deep red, I have written that down and will try to find it, would look great against our home.

Please don’t cancel this meme … it is wonderful. I am getting very impatient for something – anything!! – to bloom so that I can post a flower to GT Sunday.
This lily is such a rich, deep colour – I love it. It is so much more interesting than the bright orange ones that seem to pop up in my garden from time to time!
