With over eighteen-hundred cultivars listed in the Royal Horticultural Society's Plant Finder, it is not unwarranted to say that daylilies are among the most popular of garden plants (for a little game, see if you can find any other genera of plants with higher numbers of species and cultivars - I found one). Not coincidentally, daylilies are also among the most photographed of plants, so I'm under no illusion that I'm sharing something radically different today.
For a comprehensive look at daylilies, visit the American Hemerocallis Society web site. Highlights include a dictionary of daylily terminology and a list of frequently asked questions about daylilies, including “Why is the daylily the perfect perennial?”
Botany resource link: Since it is back-to-school for most children locally, I thought I'd point out something to share with youngsters: Missouri Botanical Garden's Biomes and Aquatic Ecosystems of the World.
