The very best thing about Stella in the garden is her long bloom time. A reblooming daylily, this one has an extended bloom time. And that cheerful bright yellow is a real show stopper in the beds! Shorter and more compact that my tall vintage ones, I place these towards the front of my beds. Working larger, I first ink my composition, adding in the watercolor afterwards. I had every intention of washing in a dark background to represent the shadows, but I hesitated. So, if in doubt, don't. I'm not sure if that was the right decision, I may just do another in that way. Painting number 2718 in 2718 days.
