What We Seen at Shiloh


Granny, tenderly know round heah as "Mimi-cita," gits herself a fit of cabin fever onc't in awhile.

So, to hep her out, me and a fambly member rode her up the road a piece to Shiloh...that'd be the crow crossin' to the west of Micanopy (Home of the famous ole' book store, O'Brisky's .) Shiloh is famous fer they daylillies.



Now ya'll can see right off this is a secret spot fer those in the know--not jes' anybody can find Shiloh--sorta like a scavenger hunt through backwoods Floridy.

But onc't ya git back in heah, oh mercy, but it is full of lovely, ole-timey places, like this heah main house of Shiloh Daylillies.










This is one endearin' ole Floridy homestead.

Ya' cain't find this sorta thang jes' anywhar'.















Mimi-cita cain't make it through the grounds on her walker, so the man-around-the- place kindly squired her about in his golf cart. Mimi swooned over this pink rose.








The garden is higgledy -piggledy, and thas' part of its charm....



We found us a few fine specimens and then went on down the road a piece to the next place....stay tuned.
