Sea of Day Lilies

It's officially summer now and officially the season of the day lily.  We have waves of the bright orange flowers flowing across our yard, their large blooms glowing in the sunlight.

In addition to the common orange lilies, we have a variety of other colors, like the yellow Stella Dora lily pictured above, the only day lily with a scent.

Burgundy colored day lily

 

Even though they are the most common, the orange day lily is still my favorite.  The paths in the woods behind my house when I was a child were lined with these beautiful flowers in summertime.  I always looked forward to their arrival then, and it's so nice to have them gracing our yard now!
