A Day in the Life of a Daylily

The summer of 2020 is in full swing with abundance of rain...ahem, and beautiful flowers showing off in all their petal glory. But one flower, the daylily, only blooms for one day; opening in the morning and by the end of the day, its life is over. Thankfully, the flowering stalk continues producing new blooms for up to a few weeks, because, let's face it, that is a sad story for a attractive flower.

So, let's get this straight, the daylily must live its life as best as it could for less than 24 hours - from sunup to sundown. There is not much else to do except look pretty in the yard or field it is growing in, though maybe a kooky woman may take your photo for posterity, right?

BSoleille!
