Like most people, I wish the lovely Daylily’s flower would last longer than just a day.
There are so many hybrids and cultivars of this genus, that a real daylily fan could spend a small fortune investing in the new choices that becomes available every year!
The one shown here in my garden is a dwarf variety. I’m waiting anxiously for my larger double variety, named “Kwanzo” to appear. It’s a real beauty!

Apparently, the flowers can be eaten raw, and tho’ I’ve yet to do this, so don’t take my word for it, I am willing to give it a try!
Just imagine how pretty a salad would be with a few of these blossoms thrown in!

So, not only are they pretty when they flower, but I like their lanceolate foliage, too. They make a nice border along a fence, but I must say, to see them growing wild along a roadside ditch in full bloom, a whole smathering clump, really is a sight to behold!

Daylilys are really easy to grow, and a spot can be found for these lovely specimens in mostly every garden!
