This day lily is one of my favourites – I love it’s robust, intense blooms. Painting yellow flowers is tricky, requiring grey for the shadows and faith that it will look right when dry, which is a challenge for me. Practice will help. Fortunately this beauty will keep blooming for a few more weeks.
I found some wild blackberries growing in among the wild lilacs.
