Say, "Hello," to Stella D Oro. It's the daylily greeting people in the Ada railroad park. This daiylilly expands each year and is good for mass plantings. It prefers sun, is easy to grow and is one of the few daylillies that reblooms during the season. Our flower feature includes several additionl park posies in the next photos. Thanks to Monty Siekerman for the flower descriptions.
