Open Houses
|
We host several Open Houses each year during the height
of the blooming season for the Iris and Daylilies. Visitors are welcome
throughout the summer, but the Iris and Daylilies are at their peak during
the Open House periods.
Hostas are in season both spring and summer (and early fall). Irises can be ordered until the end of August. This years open houses are scheduled as follows:

The Daylily News 
| Aug 9, 2008 | Still plenty of flowers blooming in the daylily field this morning. Looks quite nice! | |
| Aug 2, 2008 | It looks like the daylily season is going into extra innings! In fact, we have just added an extra Open House next weekend. Many daylilies are still blooming strong. Come on out and take a look! | |
| July 26, 2008 | Lots of blooming going on today in daylilies and hostas. Today's showing would be just about the height of the daylily season! | |
| July 19, 2008 | A veritable cornucopia of daylilies are blooming today! Marse Connell has been especially popular with visitors today along with Rosy Lights, Raspberry Candy, Love Those Eyes and several of the Jedi, Chicago and Siloam types to name a few. A mid-afternoon shower cooled things down but now the rain has stopped, the sun has come out and it is a lovely evening with the thermometer standing at 23 degrees C. | |
| July 6, 2008 | The early yellow daylilies are out in flower now. Various other colours are starting now with more opening every day. Next weekends Open House should be colourfull! | |
| May 31, 2008 | Well, the temperature is turning seasonable and the iris are responding! About 45-50 varieties of iris are blooming this morning. | |
| May 29, 2008 | The iris have started to flower. They are a little behind schedule but we have 18-20 varieties of iris showing colour on Thursday morning. There are half a dozen shorter varieties blooming at the moment. We anticipate warmer weather over the next few days to open up several more varieties by Saturday. Next week promises to be colourful! | |
| May 19, 2008 | Happy Victoria Day! The iris are about a week behind schedule this year because of the unseasonably cool weather. We have tentatively cancelled this weeks open house (May 23-24) but you are still welcome to come take a look! Next weekend (May 30 - 31) promises to be a nice show of colour. |
