Photo © 2006, Garth Catterall-Heart Yellow Day LilyThe daylilies comprise the small genus Hemerocallis of flowering plants in the family Hemerocallidaceae. Despite the name they are not true lilies (Lilium, Liliaceae). The name Hemerocallis is based on the Greek words for day and beauty, which reflects the fact that the individual flowers last for only one day. The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, to be replaced by another one (sometimes two or none) on the same stem the next day; some species are night-blooming. Because individual flowers are short-lived, they do not make good cut flowers for formal flower arranging although they otherwise make good cut flowers as new flowers will continue to open on cut stems over several days. Originally from Eurasia, native from Europe to China, Korea, and Japan, their large showy flowers have made them popular worldwide, and there are over 60,000 registered named cultivars. Only a few cultivars are scented; some will rebloom later in the season, particularly if their developing seed pods are removed.
