Daylilies

Late July is Daylily season in our garden, and we have a lot of different varieties, all very colourful!  I'm not going to comment on them individually, but watch for different colours, different widths of petals, frilliness of the edges, and so on.  At one point we knew all the varietal names, but those are now lost in the mists of time!  Doesn't change how pretty they are.


This is the one variety I do remember, and I can easily picture the nursery we bought it from.  It's called Saugeen Sunrise, which seems very appropriate given that we live in the Saugeen region of Ontario.

In case you've forgotten, this is our back yard, centred by a large patio I can ride down to off the deck and immerse myself in these flowers.  The Daylilies are the bright red, yellow and orange in the back right.

  6. Colorful to say least! We have but two varieties, the ubiquitous orange one that thrives on roadsides and a blood red variety that we bought about 45 years ago and whose name has, like most of yours, been lost to the mists of time. Daylilies are tough plants, our orange ones receive no care, are partially shaded and yet they live on. The flower buds on the red variety are frequently eaten by deer and the plants compete with aggressive Rudbeckia for space but they bloom, or try to, each and every year.

  8. I was admiring some at Home Depot just today. We don’t have them in the garden. Maybe we should.

  9. I love all the colours, they are amazing! Our daylilies have buds but no flowers yet. Despite having some high temps a couple of times a week, it's been quite cool especially overnight so I suspect it will be a couple of weeks before we see ours blooming.

    I love the back yard patio. What a wonderful spot to rest and enjoy the explosion of flowers!
