If you live in mid Michigan, you see these all over the place. Some are planted and many grow wild. Some call them ditch lilies and the ditch next to this road is full of them.

Here is a closer look at the Orange Day-lily. Hope you all are having a good weekend 😊

Hemerocallis fulva hybrid (Orange Day-lily)

From ‘the neck up’, a day-lily flower looks just like a true lily (Lillium) but there is one obvious difference: the leaves of a day-lily are long and sword-like and grow from a central clump. In 1753, Carl Linnaeus named the genus Hemerocallis - from the Greek; Hemera (Day) and Kallos (Beauty) - because, sadly, day-lily flowers last for a single day. But take heart, those flower buds in the first photo will bloom tomorrow, and some day-lilies will produce flower-after-flower for a month or more.

PS Please don’t ask me to identify this particular variety. There are over 80,000 day-lily cultivars and hundreds more are added every month.
