FLICKA DAYLILY COMMENTARY

 

In our location in New England the summer blooming season for flowering perennials is relatively short 8 to 10 weeks by my estimate. Contrasted with our period of snow cover that can last from mid December to late March it is no wonder some of us exude a child-like marvel when the green returns. My plant of choice is the daylily or as the say in science class now Hemerocallis or as previously called Liliaceae.

 

Daylilies probably have so many most outrageous cultivar names (a plant variety that has been produced in cultivation by selective breeding.) because there are so many to name. About 1,000 new cultivars are registered with the AHS each year, bringing the 2010 total to 69,137.

 

Some of my plants retain the cultivar name and are so noted. Those with missing names are assigned a name of my liking!

 

So it's a good time to put aside the science-fiction books and send Link and Zelda for a vacation. Water - prune - fertilize - mulch enjoy the show and take some pictures - hope you enjoy them.
