Our wild lilies are all a-bloom in PA.

They are orange daylilies, abundant by the side if the road
everywhere.

[haircutter]

When I was growing up in Pennsylvania...those day Lily’s were called..

SHIT HOUSE POSIES...THEY GREW IN ABUNDATNCE AROUND OUT HOUSES...

and Yes...they are in full bloom here in the mountains and road ways..

[Covenantor]

Because of health issues haven’t been able do any serious work in the front garden this season....but somehow a batch of the orange day lilies popped up alongside the azeleas, which were past their blooming. Real mystery how they got there...haven’t seen any within a half mile radius and there’s no cut in path of prevailing winds....Providence providing some colorful joy.

[V K Lee]

Oh yes, the orange day lilies. We had them as well. They are seen everywhere here in the North Texas area. These must have been some of the first to be registered and introduced. Originally in my great aunt’s garden, they were divided and adopted by our garden.

When we moved, they remained, as there was no room at the inn
in our new garden. We did move w/our Stella D’Oro; other day-lilies were already here.

Today’s garden has so many more color options in day-lilies

LOL it draws flies. Remembering the film clips of BO, drawing flies. Not certain, but isn’t this also called a Century Plant? A botanical garden, here in Texas, has one in their main hall. A hall rented out to perform weddings and such. Imperative timing must be had that the bloom time and wedding time are not simultaneous.

[Robert DeLong]

No:

Century plant is the common name usually associated with Agave americana. While there are over 200 species of agave that vary greatly in size and color, century plant is one of the most impressive and show-stopping. Not only does this plant look great in the landscape, it's a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant.

The plant's common name is a bit misleading; while many people think it means these plants live for—or bloom after—100 years, it actually matures much faster. Century plants generally take between 8 and 30 years to flower.

Once the plant has reached maturity, a central stem grows up to 20 feet tall. Pale yellow or white blossoms appear atop this branched flower spire during summertime. Most century plants will die after they flower, although the spineless century plant (Agave attenuata) flowers multiple times a year.

[Robert DeLong]

Yes they do smell, and the smell is very similar to a rotting corpse, hence the name. 8>)

[V K Lee]

Ok - Century Plant in this area is similar to what is commonly known as ‘mother in law’ plant. Locally, a potted, indoor plant.
The Corpse plant is entirely different. Thanks for the lesson. :-)

[Robert DeLong]

My wife has been growing 2 of them (corpse flowers) for about 9 years now. They are strange plants. So far neither have bloomed yet.

[V K Lee]

Hope she has the opportunity to see a bloom soon.

[Robert DeLong]

That would be nice. At least they are still with us, and not corpses. 8>)

[miserare]

We call that houseplant Mother-in-Law’s Tongue.

Very accurate, if you had a MIL like mine was.
