<\/a><\/p>\nThis is one of my favorites – it is called Long Stocking and it is a spider form. For someone who abhors actual spiders, I am very attached to spider form daylilies – they are my new obsession within an obsession.

And I just may be passing my obsession on to the next generation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What else can I possibly have left to say about Daylilies? Oh please – I have barely scratched the surface! I could go on and on about how easy they are to take care of, how they increase year after … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
