Here in the Washington DC area, daylilies are in full bloom. From front yards to botanical gardens to the roadsides, it seems that every where I look, I see another variety of daylily (hermerocallis).

These are a few of the ones I’ve photographed recently.

First up are some Lavender Frolic Daylilies photographed at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia.

The next three daylilies were photographed at Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria, Virginia.

A Ruffled Apricot Daylily – I love the petals on this flower. They have an amazing color and texture.

The pink and the yellow of the Arkansas Post Daylily very nicely compliment each other.

And finally a pink and white daylily. Like several others I’ve photographed, the edges of the petals are ruffled. Unfortunately, there wan’t a sign by these flowers, so I’m not sure what variety they are. If any knows what these daylilies are, please let me know. 🙂
