Daylilies

It would seem my garden is entering its peak season for daylilies. There are hundreds of flowers every day, some are blooming for the first time. I have been experimenting with when to take photos, as it can radically change the colors that a flower has. Oranges tend to washout by the end of the day. Here is a comparison of ’Tomorrow’s Song’.

That is a lot of photos, but wait! There’s more!
One of the problems/rewards of hybridizing is starting a pod of seeds and eventually have to choose which to keep and who gets let go. Here are 2 sets of crosses that are open today.

You can that they are similar, yet different.
