Daylily

Beautiful red daylily, possibly a hybrid. The plant is a gift from a good friend who was a Virginia Master Gardener before she moved to Washington state. For more information about daylilies, visit the American Hemerocallis Society Web site: http://www.daylilies.org/ There is a relationship between time and some types of plants, such as morning glory, four o’clock, and moonflower. I started growing daylilies as part of an experimental garden that I called the “Botanical Clock Project,” a semi-successful attempt to recreate Linnaeus’ flower clock. Daylily flowers last one day, hence the name “day lily.” Related Resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaeus%27_flower_clock
