The first daylily to bloom this season is a new one to my garden.
‘Nutmeg Spice’ has a unique combination of apricot wash petals and a mauve eye
which really pops with the bright yellow throat and matching pollen.
The deer have noticed the daylilies, also.
I have scared one away twice today all ready.
My four-legged friends must smell the irresistible, juicy aroma of these succulent blooms.
I may have to sleep outside during June!

Last summer, deer ate 90% of the buds on daylily “Lusty Leland.” He’s budding up again now; I’ll have to deploy netting soon. “Nutmeg Spice” looks delightful!

The deer are peeking from the woods at all hours now. It’s a battle that I always lose. Thanks for the comment.
I am working on my platform and will soon query agents. I’d rather be gardening!
