What an exquisite Hemerocallis, Michael! I have exactly the same colored day lilies in my garden, but they will not blossom before July. Have a wonderful day ...

Ahhh...one of my favorites. I am waiting for mine to bloom. I feel like this one is a bit washed out. Was the sun super bright that day?

@Tracey: Not really. I rather like the washed out look. Thanks, Tracey.

I really like day lilies and always had them when we lived in KY and GA. They don't seem as happy to grow in FL for some reason; our zone must be too hot for them, I'm guessing.

Nice macro and composition where it looks like the daylily is looking right at you. The yellow really "pops."

Nice one. The two flowers, open and closed make a nice diagonal leading the eye across the picture

These squash lilies are very decorative and have cheerful colours! Here I like the contrast with the green foliage!
