Punch of peach,
Late summer bloom,
Labored year round,
For this shining moment
At the end of summer.
Copyright 2014 Brenda Davis Harsham
Happy Labor Day to all those in the United States!!
Note: This bloom is a daylily of a most unusual shade. It looks like a rose, doesn’t it?

Peach is a wonderfully flattering color. I was so impressed by this daylily, blooming so late in August, and so full like a rose. I will have to look for it in the nurseries. π

It is like a rose! You are so right with this comparison. I can hardly believe it is a daylily. I almost could see it being a carnation or another kind of flower. It is definitely beautiful! Smiles and a hug for this.
