I did not realize how many daylilies I have.
Unfortunately I can't remember the names of some of them. This peachy one with the pinky-red eye is one I like a lot.
I probably have at least 4 others that I did not take a picture of. I am very fond of daylilies.
Their only negative is that they last just one day and the spent flowers hanging all over the plant really detract from the overall appearance. I don't deadhead them every day as I just don't have the time to do so. If I was home every day, I probably would. It makes all the difference in the display.
Let the Basting Begin!

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

Beautiful daylilies! The lily experts apparently call the deadheading "breaking bloom". I find it hard to do in the evening when they're still perfect so I usually leave them until the next day. They do look ragged if you leave the dead blooms on. I don't have very many daylilies ... yet.
ReplyDelete"Breaking bloom" -- I like that. Sounds so much nicer than "deadheading", doesn't it?
