Orange crush!

The Orange Day Lily in all its glory at the George Pegg Garden near Glenevis, central Alberta, Canada.

 

This flower has been in cultivation for a long time, and it often outlives the structures that surround it and their inhabitants. This hybrid species is able to naturalize in the wild because the foliage is tall enough to compete for sunlight alongside other species of plants.

 

The George Pegg Garden was Alberta's first declared historic resource and is a protected site. It is managed by the George Pegg Botanic Garden Society. www.pegggarden.org
