Description
This Day Lily is from our garden and it was the tallest and bent over the others as if to say look at me. I photographed it and then also brought it inside to place in my mother-in-laws crystal antique vase then too her back outside for the right light. She deserved to be shown off. I used a texture with this and did some digital artwork.
Daylily is the common name for plants of the genus Hemerocallis /ˌhɛmɨroʊˈklɪs/. Daylily cultivar flowers are highly diverse in colour and form, as a result of hybridization efforts of gardening enthusiasts and professional horticulturalists. Thousands of registered cultivars are appreciated and studied by local and international Hemerocallis societies. The daylily is often called "the perfect perennial", due to its brilliant colors, ability to tolerate drought and frost and to thrive in many different climate zones, and generally low maintenance. It is a vigorous perennial that lasts for many years in a garden, with very little care and adapts to many different soil and light conditions. Daylilies have a relatively short blooming period, depending on the type. Some will bloom in early spring while others wait until the summer or even autumn. Most daylily plants bloom for one to five weeks, although some will bloom twice in one season ("rebloomers)".
