100 Species Challenge #7: "Red Magic" Daylily



I have always loved daylilies. When I was a little girl, my parents grew lots of lovely orange ones, which we called tiger lilies. I'm also partial to lemon lilies.

But this variety, Daylily Hemerocallis, often called "Red Magic," is just breathtaking. I love the contrast of the red and yellow: rich red petals, deep yellow innards, and then the striking red stamens. Just gorgeous.

They're in a number of the seminary's flower beds this summer and I think they're just beautiful too!
