The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

The female osprey takes a moment to stretch her wings by taking a short flight from the nest to collect a twig. I think the "tatty" state of her feathers is just the result of being on the nest so long. This was in the fifth week after the eggs had hatched.

The Zeche Zollverein Coal Mine Complex in Essen (More images in my series Zollverein) is one of the most impressive surviving examples of industrial culture from the modern era.
Some maintenance workers travel the 100-hectare area of the industrial complex by bike and use this pedestrian bridge.

New Year's Traffic on the infamous Bay Bridge S-Curve which has been plagued by accidents since it opened on September 8th, 2009. There were 50 accidents within the 1st 2 months. It is a temporary solution until the new span is completed.
Per Wikipedia: The original spans of the bridge east of Yerba Buena Island became the subject of concern after a section collapsed during the Loma Prieta earthquake on October 17, 1989. The replacement span is engineered to withstand the largest earthquake expected over a 1500 year period, and it is expected to last at least 150 years with proper maintenance.
It has been under construction since 2002. Originally scheduled to open in 2007, several delays caused it to now be scheduled to open to traffic on or just after Labor Day 2013 at an estimated cost of $6.3 billion.
A little different from my normal genre. This is for the group, Flickr Friday, the subject this week of wheels.
I just love walking around the back streets and alleyways of small towns. I enjoy old worn and weathered surfaces and things that are a little dilapidated or shabby. Towns like this often times don’t have the resources of larger more progressive towns to keep everything looking new. Some towns are absolutely anal about appearances and are far too boring because of that for photographers looking for photogenic subjects. Even big cities can display this contrast between new and old surfaces. The so called rust belt cities like Detroit and Cleveland are an absolute treasure trove for our hobby. I have often wondered why the city officials fail to see what an asset they really have on their hands and cash in on it with photo tourism. They could promote five day getaways with tours of the old abandoned mills and factories specifically oriented towards photography. Make it safe and provide amenities suitable for the comfort of the tourists and you would put other venues out of business. Preserve it as it is as a permanent historic theme park of our nation’s heritage. Oh my. I must be crazy.
One of my Simple Pleasures is old books. I love the kind with hand-cut pages, or gold edges, and leather-bound and illustration plates - sheer heaven!
And for the Group Life is a Rainbow. The colour is Brown. (no 7 of the Brown sequence)

I'm having to post and run today - I'll hope to catch up this evening. We have strong gales as well as driving rain here, which means power cuts are quite likely. Not enough maintenance has been done by the privatised electricity companies - cutting back the trees close to the overhead lines. Fingers crossed here!

Crews at Southern Appalachia Railway Museum work into the night shuffling cars around the Y-12 and K-25 complexes with ex CSX U23B 9553, appropriately nicknamed the "Maintenance of Wade", after Wade White.

Deseret Power Railway E60C DPR 3 rests at their loop track and shop complex near Dinosaur, Colorado. The trainset, and in some places the track itself, were torn apart at the time for yearly maintenance.
Have to get her up and running by tomorrow.
