Daylily
This image shows the flower of a Daylily (Hemerocallis). Each individual flower lasts only one day, but if you remove the wilted flower, the plant can continue blooming for a long time. These lilies grow quickly and spread easily. Why does the plant spread so easily? This is probably because it produces large amounts of pollen. Why are there so many different flower colors and variations of this plant? Possibly the plant adjusts depending on it's climate and location. Maybe a color change makes it easier to escape predators. This flower is an example of a primary producer. It makes its own food and provides food to primary consumers. The yellow daylily is not seen as invasive but one of its variations the Common orange daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) is extremely invasive and hard to get rid of. This picture was taken at Benedictine University in October 2018
