Day lily

Hemerocallis

Description:

Day lily cultivar flowers are highly diverse in color and form, as a result of hybridization efforts of gardening enthusiasts and professional horticulturalists. A normal, single daylily flower has three petals and three sepals, collectively called tepals, each with a midrib in the same or in a contrasting color. The centermost part of the flower, called the throat, usually has a different color than more distal areas of its tepals. Each flower usually has six stamens, each with a two-lobed anther. After successful pollination, a flower forms a capsule (often erroneously called a pod).

Oh, Antonio - please don't apologize for your English! I always greatly admire the way in which non-native English speakers participate in Noah. If this website were in Portuguese, I could perhaps understand half of the posts but couldn't respond at all unless I used an online translator. Thanks for your interest in my spottings; I believe that this was my first one: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/827...
