Description
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Day lilies are perennial plants. They are beautiful flowers which typically last no more than 24 hours. The flowers of most of these species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly replaced by another one on the same flower stalk the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Day lilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.

Day lilies are one of my garden fave's, too, David! No matter the length of days, their amazing blossoms never disappoint, as seen in your elegant light yellow-gold beauties! They just shine against the background greenery! A delightful capture in every way. F/v.

Love the color and detail of these Day Lilies, and your right, they are short lived, but many new blooms are coming to take their place. Great work.
