Daylilies in Bloom

We are having one of the hottest, driest summers ever, and if there was ever a flower made for this type of weather, its the daylily. While a lot of my flowers are sad looking and droopy with the lack of rain, daylilies don't miss a beat and just keep blooming their little hearts out.
Here are some of the daylilies that are blooming right now.

Daylilies are not true lilies but belong to the genus Hemerocallis, which means "beautiful for a day." Each bloom lasts only one day, but each scape produces multiple buds providing blooms for several weeks. Buds per scape can range from as few as ten to over fifty!

Daylilies are some of the easiest and most dependable plants you can grow. They are considered to be the perfect perennial because they grow in many climates, requires little care, resists drought and bloom for a long time each year.

Of course the pink shades are always my favorite.

 They come in all kinds of colors and sizes ranging from tiny dwarfs to towering scapes.

These beauties have come a long way from the tall orange lilies that grow wild beside the road which I always call "ditch lily".

The last few Lilies

I can't believe it's the last week in July.  The summer is flying by way too fast!! Why can't winter go this fast??
 My lilies are almost done blooming. Sadly I didn't have near as many this year thanks to the deer who decided the buds would make a good snack:(   They never bothered them before this year. Hopefully I will remember to spray them with liquid fence next year. I used that on my hostas this year and they have not touched them.

Daylilies

Daylilies are in full bloom here at Serenity Cove. These were given to me by a friend several years ago and I regret that I don't have names for any of them.

So many beautiful colors.

I can't decide which is my favorite!

I think I like them all!!
