'Tis daylily season, and thank heavens for them, because they are blooming during a lull in my garden. I do have to say, though, that I like irises more than daylilies, but I do appreciate the variety, beauty, and hardiness of daylilies.
We do have a LOT of different daylilies. I took pics, and there were a few that weren't blooming today, so I'll add another entry in a few days, to try and figure out how many varieties I have.
As usual, I don't know the names of most of them, so if you have any ideas/suggestions/guesses, let me know!
This daylily (above) was here when we moved in. We don't have the traditional orange 'ditch' daylily, but I love this double variation. I saw something similar for sale called 'Kwanzi', so maybe that is what this one is.
These are a buttery yellow, with large blooms. I never get tired of looking at them.
An unknown pk/yellow pastel.
This deep red is another favorite of mine, the picture really doesn't do it justice.
mrp. yellow/pk, unknown.
Hey, this one is called 'Pandora's box!' relatively new in my garden.
This is a lovely intense pink with yellow center, name, as usual, unknown.

Wow, so many beautiful ones. Hard to choose a favorite! Thanks for posting all these pictures here. :)
How big is your yard? Is every inch covered in flowers? These are beautiful.
Em, thanks for the compliment!
Lynne, we have an acre of land. I took these pics because I realized we really do have a LOT of different daylilies in the garden. Our best crop is weeds, really, though. Too much garden, not enough gardener :)
Oh, you have some beautiful lilies. I love the buttery yellow one and I am not even crazy for yellow. The Pandora's box is just gorgeous. I kept seeing so many pretty lilies on blogs and have started a list to add to my few lilies. Have to give those silly deer something to eat I guess. ;-) The nasty varmints ate half of mine off.
You have quit a collection of them.
Oh my!! They are all so pretty!! I wish I had room for some in my gardens. I will some day!!!
I love daylilies! I have no idea how many I have, but they are in almost all my flower beds, and I don't know most of their names. I just got some new ones in gallon containers for half off at a local greenhouse the other day. I have the tags next to them, but I should draw a little map in case the tags get lost.
Yours are beauties! The last ones may be my favorite.
