The beauty in daylilies comes from the endless variety of colors and also the ease in growing this magnificent flower. Check out my favorite catalog for ordering daylilies. You won't be disappointed in the photos and wonderful information on growing.
It's hard to believe that anything so beautiful, only last for one day. As the day gets brighter, the new lily bloom begins to open. By the end of day, the life of this particular flower is over.
But the good news is how prolific they are in growing flowers. As you can see in this photo, they have started blooming before I've had time to mulch for the season.
This particular variety is a bright tangerine color, with petals that curl back.
Many of the pink, reds and purples will be blooming later in May......
Happy Gardening

Hello Elna...thank you. I love the clown photo you posted today on your blog.
DeleteYou have wonderful flowers in your beautiful garden. But dear Meggie I must say that you are a very good photographer. All your closer flower photos are bright and clear. And colors are perfect. When I tried to take a closer photo of flowers, my photos are never seem like your photos. Really congratulations and all best wishes...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beck....Be sure and show your mother the daylilies. It probably is your settings on your camera that is the problem. Loved your puppy post today!

Hello Regina...thank you. Loved the photo of your dog on your latest post. He looks so content in the sunshine.
DeleteMy lilies have come up, but far from budding. These would be beautiful in paper! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHi Susan...mine are beginning to bloom because we had very little winter this year. I just bought your book, "Paper Bouquet". You have so many gifts, Susan. What a wonderful book on the art of paper flowers!
DeleteBeautiful blooms in a beautiful colour. Tangerine is such a cheerful colour!
ReplyDeleteHello Elaine...Yes, tangerine is a cheeful color. It also reminds me of tangerine sherbet!
DeleteDay lillies are so pretty arent they? We have got a small clump but they do flower for quite a long time even if the individual blooms only last one day.
ReplyDeleteHello Anne...I thought everyone would enjoy the color. By the way, what a wonderful post today about St. Cuthbert Gospel. I plan on reading it again this evening.
DeleteHi Meggie, it seems too beautiful to only last one day. I've never heard of day lillies before xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Emma....they are very common in Texas. I'm not sure where else they grow, but they can be spectacular when in bloom.
DeleteSo pretty. My oldest son gave me day lillies for mother's day one year.... they are one of my favorite blooms. Your photos are beautiful. Spring is still rather winter-like here on our homestead, in fact it is raining / snowing as I type!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
