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, 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.
This image, and the next 28, are from the summer of 2023.
