Da(yl)ily Sunshine, Hamilton, Montana

Daylilies - a.k.a. the perfect perennial - are on my list of flowers that should find a place in our yard. They bloom & bloom, and are happy most anywhere that's not too textbook perfect. Hmmmm.... I could take more time to "consider the lilies..." and be so inspired.

Lilies Gild the Daly Mansion, Hamilton, Montana

The Daly Mansion is stunning in its own right, but the golden lilies gracing the flower borders this time of year enhance the architectural elegance. As I told my oldest brother this weekend, if you haven't visited the Mansion in several years, you are due for an updated treat. Continuing renovations have not only restored architectural features but also opened more rooms for viewing.
