Among the 150 daylilies that are cared for by Judy is one we have had for some time, "Buttered Popcorn". While the blooms of daylilies last only one day, we have sizeable clumps of most varieties so that a particular plant may bloom for six weeks or longer. And each one has been hybridized for blooming at a specific time. So, in our garden, some varieties will start blooming in early May while others may not start until August. And then some rebloom again, much later that the first onset. "Buttered Popcorn" is one of those that bloom in June and is blooming again in October. Same time as last year and the year before.

I marvel at these rhythms in nature. The moon has a 28-day cycle.  Birds migrate at nearly the same time in fall and spring. I get distracted by chaos and noise. My spirit craves centering and quiet and calm. I just need to pay attention.
