There’s no shortage of color at Hayefield this month, despite the continuing dry spell. Certainly, the daylilies (Hemerocallis) seem to do all right, no matter what the weather. I’m not especially fond of them in general, but their flowers are a favorite summer treat for Daniel and Duncan, so most of the plants are relegated…
