Day Lilies!

Our day lilies have finally started blooming, bringing another burst of colour to the garden.  Day lilies are exactly what the name implies, they bloom for one day at a time, and then wilt.  Mature plants will have numerous buds though, so the blooms can continue for a week or two steadily.  You'll see a lot of these in the next week or two!

This is the first of the Day Lilies, a single bloom quite low among the leaves, but it marks the beginning.

The very next day this red one added to the colour.

And then our favourite, 'Saugeen Sunrise', a beautiful two-tone orange bloom (the only one of all these that we remember the name for - there are hundreds of different named varieties).

Then the dam burst and numerous blooms emerged at once.

The blooms are often mixed together so it's hard to get a good picture.

Another of the 'Saugeen Sunrise', shot from our living room window.  In getting all these photos I'm limited to that window, or to the patio, but the blooms may face any direction, and I'm limited to the direction I can aim the camera at.

In spite of all that I think I got some beautiful photos, largely because of the colour of the Day Lilies themselves.
