Salute to the red, white and blue
Comments (17)Thanks to everyone who posted photos on this thread. I think it's fun to include our daylilies in the holiday festivities. I realize several of you posted your red and whites on your own threads. I enjoyed seeing them too! Debra...See MoreWill yours be red or white for Mother's Day?
Comments (32)This may sound really selfish, but I am raising my daughter to not fall into the Hallmark holiday trap. I don't want her to be sad on Mother's day when I'm gone or for her to wear any kind of flower. We spend a lot of time together, we are spontaneous and have a great time. We don't need a holiday to commemorate our relationship. Having said that, my Mom has been gone exactly 10 years now. Her birthday almost always fell on Mother's Day, and she passed away just days before Mother's Day, so the day makes me sad, and I just don't want my DD to feel this way. If she wants to make a deal out it with her DD then that's her thing. We did go out for dinner and live theatre (with DH of course) and had a great time, but I say it's to celebrate ourselves, for no reason, not for Mother's Day, it's something we do as a family. I miss my Mom every day and we talk about her quite a bit. I know that she missed her Mom every Mother's Day and that always made me sad. I just want to turn that around somehow and not have my daughter dread Mother's Day and other holidays, like I did for so many years. We honour my Mom, her g'ma by talking about her and the things she said and did. I am also adamant about family time being any time, not just holidays and not just because the caldendar says we have to. And no, I do not want a sappy Mother's Day card that I am expected to live up to for the rest of the year. Save the $6 you would spend on a card and tell me in your words what I mean to you, the good the bad and the ugly. Well, hopefully it's all good, coz I really don't want to know the bad unless I am unintentionally traumatizing someone. :-) See, I told you I was selfish. :-)...See MoreOBF June Swap-Independence Day

Joan Senior
Lillian's Thin Ice--this angle makes for a pretty picture, I think
Tribal Council, and it is a black-red, not this color.

7 years agoThe 3 colors I don't have many of. I have Joan Senior for a white, but Avedon's picture is so good I'll let it represent mine too. Blue? Nothing even close. Red? Not many of those either, but I do have a few I really like such as Wayah Valley by Dale Hensley. Big red orange blooms that are colorfast considering our 100 degree days this year. Nothing overly fancy just a good solid bloom that performs well here....Maryl
