A brief essay on day lilies

dl-01

If you’ve seen one day lily, have you seen them all?

Not if you worked as hard as I did to get these started. They’re all individuals. I’d name them, like chickens, if I had time. They all are grandchildren of the 300 day lily sets that I planted here seven years ago. Their natural habitats are banks and ditches — places where you want to let nature run wild.

There’s something very sad about day lilies, though. They get only one day in the sun before they shrivel and die. And peak day lily season doesn’t last long.
