Lonely Red Lily Finds A Home

by Jon Katz

This flower (I believe it’s a  lily, but I’m never sure) seemed lonely when it popped up. This morning, I see that it’s found a home.

  1. The red flower is a day lily, I believe. I have one like it in my garden. Such a nice contrast of colors with the bright red and yellow flowers.

  2. Hemerocallis, common name Daylily. Not a true lily which is poisonous. You can eat daylilies, toss the colorful petals in your salad or use the buds in a stir-fry. When I worked as a pastry chef years ago, I would fill the flowers with a cream chees filling and present them as appetizers for catering affairs.

  3. Beautiful! I have had day lilies like this one in my yard for many years. They started out blooming in an orange color and each year seem to get a bit deeper in color similar to the one now blooming in your yard. Bloom time here in PA has now passed…it has traveled north, I see?
