Took a scenic drive up, up, up to the top of the bluffs in Minnesota to visit my friend Priscilla. When you get there, it feels like you are on the top of the world looking down! You can kick back, relax on the deck and watch sailboats out on the Mississippi--very mesmerizing. A photo doesn't really do the view justice. The day couldn't have been more perfect - low humidity, a nice breeze and sunny skies.
Priscilla has literally hundreds of hosta varieties housed in retaining walls in a large shady area. The plants were all gorgeous and thriving. Surprisingly, Priscilla said deer were not much of a problem, but that rattlesnakes could be--and she can vouch for that, as she's met a few up close and personal!
Although Priscilla lives in "Hosta Heaven" she also grows between 115-120 daylilies. Yep, she's got the daylily "bug" too! Her daylilies grow in a hot, sunny flower bed that you can admire as you pull into her driveway. The location suits the daylilies, because they all looked so happy!
A great day and great company!
Daylilies pictured are: "Smoky Mountain Autumn," "Spacecoast Sharptooth," "Kindly Light," and "Grey Witch."
