Orange Daylily

Island Daylily Farm
Shawnigan Lake, BC

A daylily blossom may only last one day, however adult plants (after 4-5 years) carry between 10 & 40
stems with 10 to 80 buds per stem, more than enough blossoms to enjoy it for a month. Strangely
enough the fact that every flower only lasts one day is also an advantage. Every gardener has lived
the catastrophe of a thunderstorm turning a garden in full flower into a desolate bunch of plants
beaten down to the ground with flowers lost for the rest of the season. Daylily foliage withstands
the heaviest downpours and continues to stand up-right. Blossoms may be lost for the day, but the
next day there are brand new ones to enjoy, so a daylily clump will never show whatever disaster came
over your garden the day before. ~ about-garden.com
