Hemerocallus orange
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
The genus Hemerocallis, or daylily, native to East Asia (China, Korea, Japan), comprises rhizomatous perennials forming clumps of arching, strap-like leaves. Its name, from the Greek hemera ('day') and kallos ('beauty'), reflects the fact that each flower lasts only a day, replaced in succession by new buds over several weeks. Orange-flowered cultivars and species, notably derived from Hemerocallis fulva, produce large funnel-shaped blooms 10 to 15 cm across, tawny to coppery orange, carried on scapes from 60 cm to over a metre tall in summer. Hardy and undemanding, the daylily tolerates most soils in full sun to part shade.
