A sign of summer is daylilies blooming in a range of colors. And as the name implies, the bloom typically last no more than 24 hours, with the flower opening in the early morning and wither during the following night. But there are many flower buds on each daylily flower stalk, and many stalks in each clump of plants, so, the flowering period of a clump is usually several weeks long. So while a single blossom may be fleeting, the colorful display continues onward through the summer.
One Day of Glory
Interesting story. I never realized they only lasted a day.
