Ditch or not, I've always thought they were beautiful. You knew it was mid summer when they appeared. Diamond_Dog Jul 2 #2

In our area they call them day lilies. cksmithy Jul 2 #3

I've heard day lilies, too Diamond_Dog Jul 2 #5

Lots of those blooming around here all of a sudden with the heat and rain I guess Walleye Jul 2 #4

And they just grow wild. Only the orange ones for some reason. Diamond_Dog Jul 2 #6

I wasn't really aware that they grow wild, although I see them on the side of the road a lot Walleye Jul 2 #7

Mom called them "ditch lillies" which is found a little derogatory but now I know why

Sophie looks great too!

We have them out here, but not in that color. Ours are either white or yellow. And we call them day lillies, since they're gone in a day.
