this one has a sibling. they are similar. and they are different. and that allows some choices and different directions. one has longer thinner petals. the other has fuller not so thin petals. directions directions…

Same same but different keeps my attention
Terrific threesome, John.
I would never force e’m to say foursome. Thanks John
Then we would have a golf game
Everything I think I’ve ‘learned’ in permaculture/botany TELLS me ‘when living in drought/low moisture levels? Plants with thinner leaves/petals survive better’ and yet….I truly like the ‘fatter petal sibling – simply because? Well, here? if such a cultivar were to survive/thrive here? Would be a ‘beacon announcing abundance/security’ is the only thing I can think of to explain my inner preferences – — LOL that said, I have effectively changed household operations, back down to one human, no 4-leggeds and haven’t washed my truck in a month of blue moon sundays – which means – – TA-DA! Year round? In spring/fall/warm winters with no snow? I have access to my portion of water shares up to 2000 gallons for deep watering certain areas of the place – – in summer (3 months)? 5000 gallons to use for green growing things – YAHOO! Just thought I would share the ‘goal pursued’ & achieved the past 4 months (tweak this/tweak that!) while planning garden areas! Who knows? Perhaps someday, I’ll have an area of daylillies that will frustrate ya – simply because, I will install and just let them do their thing – except, provide water when needed – LOL
Thanks for the insights. I hope all of our water/climate woes diminish. Well it is a wish…
