I had posted this image previously but I decided to delete it and replace it with this image in which the daylilies face each other. I think it’s a slight improvement. Hope you like it.

I think the gray rainy weather we experienced today got me looking at photos I took this past spring and summer. The daylilies were like light bulbs brightening up an otherwise somber day. I love rainy days and cold rainy ones even better, but Spring is tops in my book and it always beckons to me through the chill. So here’s a daylily for your winter’s day!

10×14 watercolor on Arches rough finish watercolor paper. Original available. Daylilies comprise the small genus Hemerocallis of flowering plants in the family Hemerocallidaceae. They are not true lilies which are Lilium in Liliaceae. DescriptionThe name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα (hēmera) “day” and καλός (kalos) “beautiful”. The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly replaced by another one on the same stem the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days. Originally native from Europe to China, Korea, and Japan, their large showy flowers have made them popular worldwide. There are over 60,000 registered cultivars. Only a few cultivars are scented. Some cultivars rebloom later in the season, particularly if their developing seedpods are removed. Daylilies occur as a clump including leaves, the crown, and the roots. The long, often linear lanceolate leaves are grouped into flat fans with leaves arching out to both sides. The crown of a daylily is the small white portion between the leaves and the roots, an essential part of the fan. Along the flower stem or scape, small leafy “proliferations” may form at nodes or in bracts. These proliferations form roots when planted and are the exact clones of the parent plant. Some daylilies show elongated widenings along the roots, made by the plant mostly for water storage and an indication of good health. The flower consists of three petals and three sepals, collectively called tepals, each with a midrib in the same or in a contrasting color. The centermost section of the flower, called the throat, has usually a different and contrasting color. There are six stamens, each with a two-lobed anther. After pollination, the flower forms a pod. Daylilies can be grown in USDA plant hardiness zones 1 through 11, making them some of the most adaptable landscape plants. Most of the cultivars have been developed within the last 100 years. The large-flowered clear yellow ‘Hyperion’, introduced in the 1920s, heralded a return to gardens of the once-dismissed daylily, and is still widely available. Daylily breeding has been a specialty in the United States, where their heat- and drought-resistance made them garden standbys during the later 20th century. New cultivars have sold for thousands of dollars, but sturdy and prolific introductions soon reach reasonable prices. Tawny Daylily Hemerocallis fulva, and sweet-scented H. lilioasphodelus (H. flava is an illegitimate name), colloquially called Lemon Lily, were early imports from England to 17th century American gardens and soon established themselves. Tawny Daylily is so widely growing wild that it is often considered a native wildflower. It is called Roadside or Railroad Daylily, and gained the nickname Wash-house or Outhouse Lily because it was frequently planted at such buildings. Hemerocallis is one of the most hybridized of all garden plants, with registrations of new hybrids being made in the thousands each year in the search for new traits. Hybridizers have extended the plant’s color range from the yellow, orange, and pale pink of the species, to vibrant reds, purples, lavenders, greenish tones, near-black, near-white, and more. However, a blue daylily is a milestone yet to be reached. Other flower traits that hybridizers develop include height, scent, ruffled edges, contrasting “eyes” in the center of the bloom, and an illusion of glitter or “diamond dust.” Sought-after improvements in foliage include color, variegation, disease resistance, the ability to form large, neat clumps and being evergreen or semi-evergreen instead of herbaceous (also known as “dormant” — the foliage dies back during the winter.) A recent trend in hybridizing is to focus on tetraploid plants, with thicker petal substance and sturdier stems. Until this trend took root, nearly all daylilies were diploid. “Tets,” as they are called by aficionados, have double the number of chromosomes as a diploid plant. Only one cultivar is known to be triploid, the brilliant orange ‘Kwanzo’ or ‘Kwanso,’ which cannot set seed and is reproduced solely by underground runners (stolons) and division. Usually referred to as a “double,” meaning producing flowers with double the usual number of petals (e.g., daylily ‘Double Grapette’), ‘Kwanzo’ actually produces triple the usual number of petals.

Featured in Human.Animal.Nature. – August 29, 2009 This is one of my beautiful Daylilies that I thought was finished blooming, when today I discovered another blossom. This one was fully opened while others have struggled with too much rainfall. This photo is “as is” off the camera. I did not enhance any of it. / / Canon EOS 50D; 17-85mm lens / 1/125 sec.; F/14; 64mm; ISO100

This image consists of three layers, the background layer which is a daylily macro, and the two overlapping images, a Gulf Fritillary butterfly and a zinnia. After selecting the background image, I selected two photos to overlay over the original image. I removed everything but the butterfly and the zinnia in those images, copied and pasted them onto the background image, and then tweaked the layers for this effect. I also added a drop shadow to the entire image to give it the black backdrop for contrast. Hope someone likes this; it was lots of fun to put together.
