Daylilies in the Garden

Toward the end of July, our front garden is about at its best. Here it is as seen from my den window on the upper floor.

It's plain to see that the Echinacea (pink, bottom right) is in full vigour as well as the daylilies (hemerocallis) toward the middle left. The Shasta Daisies toward the top left are now fading quickly although they still look okay in this faraway shot. However, the Rudbeckia/Coneflowers (yellow behind the pink lilies in the left foreground) are just beginning to show, so they will help compensate for the disappearing daisies.

I have three daylily cultivars, below. In processing, I chose to emphasize their detail and texture and not their softness.

As I understand the Hemerocallis is a native plant, so it seems to do well in my garden, which is fortunate because being sited along the driveway is certainly not ideal, nor is the fact that the rock is very close to the surface.
