On a summer day, a variety of lilies could be blooming, but these daylilies might have been washed by some rain this afternoon.

This lily was sneaking under a wooden fence rail to get more notice from the road traffic.

Daylilies and daisies are images of summer, but unlike the daisies, the daylily blossom only gets to enjoy summer for about a day.
A Day for the Daylily

The temperature did get above freezing today, and even without sunshine, most of the remaining snow melted. But the snow free ground only lasted a few hours until new snow recovered everything white again. I sure miss the summer flowers already and winter is just starting.

After some rain showers this morning, the sun came out this afternoon and the butterflies and insects where visiting various blossoms.

The sun was out today but it was one of those chilly winter days with sub-zero temperatures so there are no bright sunny flowers to be found like on a summer day a half year ago.

The lawns and road ditches are showing various colors of daylilies on this warm August day and with more than 35,000 registered daylily cultivated varieties, there are a lot of pretty flowers to seek out. But that perfect blossom may disappear quickly as the name suggests, each flower lasts only one day.

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
