As I walk into the garden and look into the sky,
I am thinking about David and saying a sad goodbye, No matter what I do, the loss won't go away, For that friendship is in my heart where it will always stay, Daylily people are special and sit at the top of my friendship tower, Since we all have the understanding about the glory of the flower, Prissy’s Garden to David was not just a daylily patch, It was a wonderful place where each day beauty did hatch, When a daylily blooms oh what splendor, yet in silence it disappears, Now this somber walk has allowed me to shed a few silent tears, When I close these teary eyes, it is quite easy to see, All the other memories of past daylily folks and me, When daylily people pass, I just sit, calm down and find, That they are still part of me within my spirit and mind, Once we take a bloom into our heart things begin to get rather clear, For great daylily people are also an entity to cherish and hold very dear. |

2021 Annual Show

The annual Holiday Party was in danger of being called off due to 10" of snow from the previous two days and freezing night time temps. Nearly everyone had experienced power outages, some for as much as 48 hours - yes, 48 hours! But the brave souls on the left had cabin fever and travelled from as far away as Douglasville and Whitesburg to attend. (Word is that they all got home safely. Whew!)
A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL ! |
Since it's inception in 2004, the Cobb County Daylily Society (CCDS) has grown in opportunities for our members and the general public to learn more about daylilies. We achieved 501(c)3 non-profit status in 2014 and we're very proud to have co-hosted the 2015 AHS National Convention! In the spring of 2017, we began a small garden dedicated to daylilies at Smith-Gilbert Gardens and in the fall of 2017 CCDS was asked to expand it. Every year, CCDS offers
