You have a lovely array of flowers in bloom, Karin. I never thought of it but daylilies to look like they have long blinking eyelashes, but they do! I love the foliage colors in your planters and hanging baskets.

I am looking forward to seeing how that works out. The edible vine leaves are a little smaller than the ornamental ones I have. I suppose I could use an edible vine in my pots.
