Daylily Profusion


The beauty in daylilies comes from the endless variety of colors and also the ease in growing this magnificent flower. Check out my favorite catalog for ordering daylilies. You won't be disappointed in the photos and wonderful information on growing.


It's hard to believe that anything so beautiful, only last for one day. As the day gets brighter, the new lily bloom begins to open. By the end of day, the life of this particular flower is over.







But the good news is how prolific they are in growing flowers. As you can see in this photo, they have started blooming before I've had time to mulch for the season.













This particular variety is a bright tangerine color, with petals that curl back.

Many of the pink, reds and purples will be blooming later in May......

Happy Gardening
Meggie

  3. You have wonderful flowers in your beautiful garden. But dear Meggie I must say that you are a very good photographer. All your closer flower photos are bright and clear. And colors are perfect. When I tried to take a closer photo of flowers, my photos are never seem like your photos. Really congratulations and all best wishes...

    1. Thank you, Beck....Be sure and show your mother the daylilies. It probably is your settings on your camera that is the problem. Loved your puppy post today!

    1. Hi Susan...mine are beginning to bloom because we had very little winter this year. I just bought your book, "Paper Bouquet". You have so many gifts, Susan. What a wonderful book on the art of paper flowers!

  7. Day lillies are so pretty arent they? We have got a small clump but they do flower for quite a long time even if the individual blooms only last one day.

    1. Hello Emma....they are very common in Texas. I'm not sure where else they grow, but they can be spectacular when in bloom.

  9. So pretty. My oldest son gave me day lillies for mother's day one year.... they are one of my favorite blooms. Your photos are beautiful. Spring is still rather winter-like here on our homestead, in fact it is raining / snowing as I type!

    Have a lovely day.
