day lily & chicory


As we walk throughout the seasons & as my flower vocabulary & awareness expands -- it's a delight to notice the cycles of things...  what comes up when, how nature pairs colors along the roadside or in the woods... Today we noticed the first day lily, and a few strides later -- our first sighting of chicory!  



love the blushing, golden heart.


Stunning how life surges through everything, n'est-ce pas?  


beautiful day:  the genus Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα (hēmera) "day" and καλός (kalos) "beautiful" (Wikipedia). The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset.

I say: 'tis better to have blossomed once than never at all.
