Common Daylilies

I know some consider these invasive and call them the undignified name of "Ditch Lilies", but I love them. I love seeing mass plantings of them when they're blooming in backyards and along the roadside. And they're as maintenance-free as you can get.

Excellent banner Nancy!

They may be Common Daylilies, but they make make an uncommon banner.....beautiful!

I like them too, and every time I hear the name 'ditch lilies' I think, "hey, I have a ditch..."

Thanks for the nifty banner!

Beautiful banner. Love the dark background, which sets off the blooms.

The rare or unusual does have its appeal, but that doesn't mean we should disparage what is common or abundant. Count me as another fan of these 'ditch lilies' (a term I hadn't seen before, but can appreciate as being apt for these lilies). They brighten drives through the local countryside this time of year. I see them a lot along railroad right-of-ways, which do tend to be ditches ( ).

Late day lighting and bright orange lilies make for a glowing banner.
