Daylilies

Very few of the daylilies at the college

were labelled.

So I simply took their photos,

and didn't worry about names.

However, this is Imperial Guard,

Concubine,

and Christmas Is. Is it just me, or is that a strange name for a daylily?

This really makes me wish the macro was better on my camera! Wow!

These are beautiful daylilies and I love your macros. And I agree that some daylilies have strange names.

Nice ones, all of them. I think the top one might be an oriental lily, with the spots and the long pod pollen things, whatever they are. Lucky you to have such a variety!

Wonderful! I really love lilies and these macros are gorgeous. The colours are exquisite.

Our daylilies should just about start to bloom any of these days now.

The top lily (spotted) we call Tiger Lily but the rest looks like our daylilies allthough we have only the orange and yellow ones. The pink ones are so nice too and I saw them in a garden shop the other day and nearly bought some but ended up buying a different variety of plant for an empty spot in the rockery.
