It's Day Lily Season!
It's day lily season here, the brightest time of year in our garden. It's just glorious to go out and see what new varieties have come into bloom overnight. We have a fair collection of different varieties, but we're not so serious that I remember all the variety names. And I still can't get over the fact that each of these blooms only lasts a day, and wilts the next morning - hence 'day lilies'. Here's a selection of what's in bloom now.
My love of bright colours comes through loud and strong with these, and Mrs. F.G. indulges me by buying mostly the bright coloured ones. The summer weeks are already flying by, but it's a special time of year when we get days like this. Out late last night, no time to post.

I love these colorful flowers too. It IS amazing that they only bloom for a day.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite flower. I especially love the red ones. Carol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Day Lilies. We have Oriental and Asiatic Lilies and some are scented and they last and last. But no matter what they all are beautiful. I will have to get some Day Lilies for up by the house--or down by the pond. Yeah!

I love all the bright colors. And lilies smell so good!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are a delightful sight!
ReplyDeleteMore amazing pictures love to see them in bloom well. And all the amazing colours too.
ReplyDeletei have a love/hate relationship with mine. they are beautiful, yours especially, but they do require a lot of dead heading and cleaning up once they bloom!!!
ReplyDeleteI so love these...I only have two or three different 'colors' but keep meaning to get more. There ia place not ten minutes from here that has so, so many different ones but I cannot make up my mind which to get.
