Our wild lilies are all a-bloom in PA.

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

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.

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
