Flower for the Day Day Lilies I 6-20-22

With the asiatic lilies winding down we begin weeks of day lilies. These bulbs are mature and require minimal care - water and sun. This is Stella de Oro (Hemerocallis) a real re-bloomer.

Here is the first of many hybrids. Their colors are great but I love the ruffled edges the most.

The First of My Summer Lovers

Just out of the shower

Wearing only lacy dew

She has arrived early

Voluptuous,steamy.

She is no coy one

Her petals spread open

Waiting for mating.

Comfortably naked in the sun

With her soft creamy skin

and dark inner lips

She has come for adulation,

Sex and sun.

Confident, she winks

At me with those dark eyes

Saying, come, adore me.

Embarrassed, I have forgotten 

Her name… Misty Maude I believe.

Undulating in the wind

She whispers,

Come closer, closer

Love me, love me.

Quick now, skip the foreplay.

We haven't much time you know.

I'm only passing through,

Just here for one day.
