Tentacled daylilies are becoming more popular these days. The tissue on the outer part of the petals and and sometimes sepals extends to form tiny tentacles and teeth which often glisten in the sun. These daylilies have a very primitive look which I find very appealing.Here are some of the golden tentacled daylilies blooming in my garden today:

When I first saw tentacled daylilies, they didn't initially appeal to me. The more time I've spent with them, the more I've grown to love them. They look like they belong in some tropical paradise, and here they are growing in my little own maritime garden:).
I've been as busy as a bee.
The bees and I have been sharing our space.
Elbow to wing and wing to elbow, we have been working side by side in the garden dabbing and collecting pollen. 
It has become a relationship of mutual respect.
Early in the morning the air is filled with an amazing sound of buzzing.
There are numerous types of bees in the garden. They are varied in size and color. Some are as large as a loonie~ I'm always amazed when I see these fly by. I've developed a new appreciation for bees since the news of declining bee populations. Our time together seems a little more special:).
