My Solstice Daylilies

It’s the first official day of Summer.  Happy Solstice!!  And my garden is showing a good flush of summer flowers – my Solstice Daylilies and a few others.  Daylilies have become another of my flower fetishes, so here are the first of about twenty different varieties that I have.  In honor of summer I wanted to show what is blooming in my garden this Summer Solstice Day!

Solstice Daylilies-21
I think this one has the colors of the Summer Sun, don’t you?  I love the vibrant color.
Solstice Daylilies-10
Another Sunny Daylily. This beauty is one of my largest flowered one at almost 8 inches across.
Solstice Daylilies-23
This beauty has a green throat and purplish burst .  This is my favorite daylily.
Solstice Daylilies-6
I love this orange Daylily.  See the bee on the flower.
Solstice Daylilies-3
This is a tiny flowered Daylily, but I just love the color combination of pale yellow and maroon.
Solstice Daylilies-31
Another yellow one.  But this Daylily is slightly greenish.
 Solstice Daylilies-16
This is another of my favorites with pink petals and a brilliant magenta throat and yellow eye.
Solstice Daylilies-25
This is bright magenta Daylily is one of my reds.  Isn’t it pretty?
Solstice Daylilies-27
And lastly, my beautiful coppery red Daylily punctuates the Summer energy of my Solstice Daylilies.

Happy Solstice, Everyone!  I hope that you have enjoyed my introduction to Summer with my favorite Summer flower.  There are many more to come.

  3. Such pretty daylilies! I love the two-toned flowers, and they must make a magnificent display all together. I have one variety of daylily, and it’s solid yellow. It’s bright and pretty, but you’ve inspired me to add a few more colours to my garden 🙂 Wendy

    1. Wendy,

      Thanks and thanks for coming by. I have them clustered in several spots in my garden and really like the pizzaz I get in the summer Gardn.

  6. What a fabulous collection of Daylilies. I’ve just become a recent fan of these plants in the last two years, and I just wish I had room to plant loads more!

  7. Ah… daylilies! I’ve noticed some budding up in our gardens, which seems early, especially with our late spring. I never fully appreciate daylilies until they begin to bloom and I am reminded just how beautiful they are…. I’m looking forward to a couple hundred of my new hybrids to hopefully bloom for the first time… this time around I hybridized late blooming parents which will hopefully do just that in terms of extending the daylily season. I enjoyed seeing some of your favorites! Larry

    1. Larry,

      Wow. Hybridizing your own sounds wonderful. I love that you are striving for late bloomers. Much success to your new babies.

  12. Your Daylilies are lovely. Daylilies have so many uses in the garden: edging, focal point, some of the vigorous ones will even hold soil in place on a slope.

    Have you tried saving seeds and growing your very own cultivar?

      Thanks. Daylilies really are workhorses aren’t they. I have saved seeds once or twice, but never went any further. It would be interesting to see what I get. Larry sounds more purposeful in actually hybridizing his.
