Description
This Day Lily popped up recently in our garden and I went out to photograph it as the sun was hitting it so beautifully. We have them come up every year, but this year some of them had additional colors, as this one has always been just solid yellow and this year the touch of red orange really set it off. Taken with a 105mm Nikkor Macro Lens.
Daylilies are perennial plants. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα (hēmera) "day" and καλός (kalos) "beautiful". This name alludes to the flowers which typically last no more than 24 hours. The flowers of most species open in early morning and wither during the following night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.
