Daylilies

Daylilies

Welcome to the Daylily Gallery.  I’ve got eight different varieties of daylily growing in my lily patch, which they share with a bunch of true lilies (Asiatics, Orientals, and trumpets).  Daylilies aren’t really lilies.  They’re from an entirely different order, family, and genus.  But they’ve got the word “lily” in their common name, and in my book, that’s good enough to get them into the lily patch.  If you’d like to read more about daylilies and true lilies, please check out “Lilies: The Renaissance Garden Guy Way,” and “Dayliles and Oriental Lilies in July.”  Both articles are loaded with pics and info you can use to set up your own lily and daylily populations.  I’ll be adding more photos here on a continuing basis, so please remember to check back in.  In the meantime, I hope you like the shots I’ve got here for you now.  Check ’em out.  Cheers, and Happy Gardening!

This, and the next 5 portrait shots, will give you a good example of what will be blooming, daylily-wise, throughout a good part of July in my garden's "Lily Patch" planting feature.

I rescued this glorious and ethereal beauty from an inhospitable corner of the garden several years ago. It has rewarded me with hauntingly beautiful, pale yellow blooms every year. Its name is unknown, and it lends an air of beautiful mystery to my garden. 06-26-24.

Fiskars 6” Micro-tip Pruning Snips.  This pruner is the absolutely perfect tool for cutting delicate stems and removing nodes from main stems when training or shaping a specific plant.  Its razor-sharp micro-tip steel blades are ideally suited for pruning smaller and soft-stemmed plants.  I have an older version of the same model and it’s remained just as razor-sharp, precise, and effective as it was on the day I took it out of its package.  I’ll never get rid of it.  I use mine for pruning and deadheading houseplants, succulents, and for all outdoor garden pruning that requires intricate, delicate, and precise cutting.  Click the #advertisement link to learn more, or to order it here, directly from Amazon.

My own Fiskars 6" Micro-tip Pruning Snips model is an older one, but it's still as sharp and precise as when it was brand new. It makes delicate, intricate cuts with surgical precision. I'll keep this outstanding, highly effective tool in my arsenal forever.

This, my friends, is actually the very last daylily bloom of 2023 in my garden. It's one flower, photographed at two different times of day, on August 12, 2023. If I may be permitted a moment of self-aggrandizement, it appears here just as Poe's gallant knight does, "In sunshine and in shadow,... "

08-07-23. This is the last of the daylily bloom pics for 2023 because these are the last of the daylily blooms for 2023. These two scarlet beauties opened early this morning. By tomorrow morning, they'll be spent. But there'll be many, many more to look forward to in 2024.
