Daylilies hanging out in the daylight

Not much to say about these. Just some pretty daylilies hanging out in the sun next to a bright white shed.

Pretty, aren’t they?

There’s lots of types of daylilies, you know? This is the type I see the most, without any of the fancy schmancy extra floofiness that have been added to some varieties. Just a simple intense color and petals that curve elegantly.

And a nice mix of opened flowers and unopened ones. I like the mix. Adds variety in shape to the flower patch. And it means you get daylilies blooming for longer, since there’s new ones to show off when the first batch fade. It all works out.

And the unopened flowers have such interesting patterns and colors. There’s the green from the bud stage mixing with the color that the petals become. In this case it’s the bright red, so it’s a really interesting mix of colors. And a great shape too.
