Stop and Smell the Daylilies! - Hillbilly Daylilies

Surfing through the channels the other day I found one of my favorite childhood shows, "The Wizard of Oz." Do you remember when Dorothy first stepped into Munchkinland? Fields full of beautiful flowers of every size and color! Last Wednesday, Melissa and I made another site visit. Although we had tennis shoes instead of ruby slippers, we definitely saw a site that would have made Dorothy herself wish that she didn't have to go home! With over 350 varieties and thousands of plants, Hillbilly Daylilies, in Bunker Hill, West Virginia has an incredibly impressive display of daylilies! Visitors come to the field, and with check-list in hand, they choose daylilies to take home. Guest relax and enjoy the scenery while their plants are dug up and bagged. These colorful blooms make a beautiful display for any home! Hillbilly Daylilies also holds an annual event that is both fun and educational! The "Bloomin Bash" is scheduled for July 9th from 9:00AM-5:00PM. The event will include fun garden projects for kids, workshops for adults, a live bluegrass band, food, and so much more! I encourage everyone to support West Virginia agriculture and attend the event. It promises to be a rewarding experience.
