Dazzling Daylilies

August 4, 2011 By Mary T. Wagner Leave a Comment

I never thought much about the personality and variety of daylilies until I stepped outside the other day with my pocket camera and snapped a bunch.  Yes, of course I’ve planted them all myself over the past several years, but I can’t say I really looked all that closely.

What a wonderous display!  Some throw their narrow petals outwards like cheerleaders enthusiastically waving pom poms.  Others have all the subtlety of Gypsy Rose Lee, with a colorful “look at me” vibe.  Still others seem more tightly wrapped, like a shy little girl pulling her cardigan sweater close.  Some even remind me of amaryllis at Christmas.

I posted a gallery of shots at Open Salon.  Here’s the link.  Enjoy what’s left of summer!

About Mary

About Mary

Mary T. Wagner is a former newspaper and magazine journalist who changed careers at forty by going to law school and becoming a criminal prosecutor. However, she never could step away from the written word entirely, and inevitably the joy of writing drew her back to the keyboard.

A Chicago native, this mother of four and recent new grandmother now lives in rural Wisconsin, where she draws much inspiration for writing from daily walks in the countryside with her dog, Lucky, and the cat who thinks he's a dog...The Meatball. Wagner's ongoing legal experience has ranged from handling speeding tickets to arguing and winning several cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court...sometimes in the same week!

Her first three essay collections--Running with Stilettos, Heck on Heels, and Fabulous in Flats--have garnered numerous national and regional awards, including a Gold E-Lit Book Award, an Indie Excellence Award, and "Published Book of the Year" by the Florida Writers Association. Now her latest book, "When the Shoe Fits...Essays of Love, Life and Second Chances" rounds up her favorites--and reader favorites--into a "best of" collection now available on Amazon in paperback and ebook formats.
