It’s the time of year when we have flowers everywhere. The JAFA girls have been busy “flowering” up the business district and if you stroll down almost any residential street you’ll find a wide variety of flower gardens.I started wondering the other day if we should have an official Village flower. The US flower is the rose, the Ohio flower is the scarlet carnation, Tipp City has the mum, Cincinnati has geraniums and what do we have?
Based on sheer numbers, it looks like the daylily may be the obvious winner. Earlier this week I heard someone call them “ditch lilies” – seems appropriate since every ditch in town has at least a couple of them.
Perhaps the Village Council will pass a resolution naming the “ditch lily” as the official flower for Yellow Springs. Whatever they’re called, even if they are not the official Village flower, they certainly brighten up the walking and biking routes for many of our neighbors.
