Stella!

Stella de Oro, she is. These prolific daylilies burst into bloom seemingly all at the same time, all over Topeka, yesterday. It's amazing. They are very eye-catching en masse, and they are massed all over the place. Apparently a very popular planting in these parts.

I told Kathy I was going to drive all over Topeka and take a picture of every place I saw the Stella de Oro. I didn't do that, but I did get these down in front of the Blackbird today.

Stella de Oro, Star of Gold. Star of the show, right here.

"I'm ready for my close-up." Glad to oblige, beautiful Stella.
