Daylily day part 2

On day lily day, we also brought in my grandfather's own day lilies! There must have been at least 20 of them that he brought along! I saw him growing them in his own garden the day before!

 A lot of the other day lilies we saw were put into some tiny test tubes filled with water. I don't think that was a very good idea. They could die more easily that way! But that is just me.

There were lots of people bringing in new plants but I'm not sure that the one in this picture is entirely in the "day lily" type.

 After we left, I saw a bunch of coy fish in a fountain by the place. I was told once that coy fish could cost hundreds of dollars a piece! How could they get more than four that easily?!

 

Daylily day

Today was my last full day for visiting my grandfather. So we went down to a day lily party with his friends. They laid out all different kinds of day lilies! Pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, etc.!

Working The Garden

I worked today in my grandfather's garden. We crossed flowers to see what we would get. The picture above shows the flower parts we used.

We took pollen from one plant and put it on another.

We did this with lots of flowers.

We also labeled each plant and wrote down what we did in a field notebook.

School is over

I have only been out of the seventh grade for nearly a week and I have already done so much.
I have been taking swimming lessons all week, had a really huge summer block party, went to Play Land, spent the night at my friend Chuck's house, and visited my grandpa until next weekend!
Do you think it is possible to do that all in a week?

This is My First Post

Hi. I am a Boy Scout and I was asked to do this Blog for my Communications Merit Badge. My grandfather helped me with this but it will be up to me to keep this going.
