June is daylily season here in North Carolina. I must work hard to have uneaten blooms. It is worth all the effort to see these beautiful faces. I say their names as I visit each plant to dead-head its withered blooms.
I will share a photo of each with its name. Trying to pick a favorite is difficult. There are qualities other than bloom color that make them desirable…stem strength and length, hardiness, colorfastness, color bleeding…
Here are the ones blooming this first week of June.

I have forgotten the name of the next daylily so I will stop there. There will be many more.
ATTENTION LOCAL FOLLOWERS- I will be dividing and moving these as my hip allows. Write down your favorites and I will hold some for you.

Beautiful blooms, they thrive under your care!

What a collection. I’ve never been much of a fan of daylilies, but of course my only exposure has been to the relative plain yellow and orange ones that grow in our ditches. My favorite here is Dixie Boy; it’s just so attractive.

Dixie Boy tends to have two blooms on a stem open together. It’s a sweet habit. Thanks for the comment. More colors to come.

Lovely lilies. We have a national hemerocallis supplier just up the road.

Daylilies are such a delight. Each one of yours is a beauty, but ‘Breed Apart’ is magnificent and truly lives up to its name.

I agree. It is a prolific bloomer, also.
