It's Day Lily Season

I've been seeing lots of orange Tiger Lilies that so many people have for two weeks, but now our own Day Lilies have started blooming.  There are literally hundreds of varieties, with different colours, different shapes of petals, different size blooms, and so on.  There is a Day Lily breeder here in the valley, so most of these unusual varieties we got from them.  Here's what we have in bloom so far.

Not all our Day Lilies at the other house were bright red or orange.  We had some pale pink and some bright yellow too, but Mrs. F.G. made the mistake of asking me to pick out the ones I'd like to transplant.  As you can see, I like the bright coloured ones!

  1. That's quite a selection. My brother used to grow lots of these. The only thing I have against them is the amount of pollen they deposit on my trousers when I walk past.

  2. They are sure nice solid colored ones. The red one is a new one for me to see. I like your collection.

  3. They are stunning, did you have one called " Ming Porcelain" . I, too, tried to gather some of each colour when we moved, but think I left that one there.The deep burgundy is a favourite.

  4. You picked some good ones, although a few bright yellow flowers would be nice also -- good choice to leave the pink ones behind.

  8. It's too bad we can't all make a living caring for Flowers because they make everyone smile from their Beauty.
    Be Safe and Enjoy the Flowers.

    It's about time.

  9. You have some great Lily photos there. Those colors are always a welcome addition to the flower gardens.

  10. I have a pink variety in my yard...what's funny, a volunteer. All the flowers I plant die. Not this baby.
