My husband and I bought this plant together about 20 years ago. Each Summer, she puts on a brief - but beautiful - display. I have her as a potted plant on our deck, and she stays outside all year round.

*********************************

The flower above was the very first one of dozens of yellow lily buds to bloom for 2022.

Because of the extreme heat wave that we've been experiencing for the past week, I expect the flowers to wan faster this year than normal. Unlike the single day lifespan of a daylily flower, lily flowers can each last several days.
