Day Lilies? Sure Why Not

About a year ago I noticed all over town these yellow flowering plants that I thought were some kind of daffodil. Remember I didn't know squat about this gardening thing then. I really wanted the Stella Del Oro as they're more of a golden color but nowhere to be found the last few weeks. Instead some other interesting types have found a home. Here's a group of three nestled in the larger area to the west of the house. Name is seen in the bottom left hand corner when clicking for a larger image.


Tucked away behind some Shasta Daises is another type claimed to be fragrant or is that just part of the marketing angle? More research...too much stuff to remember.There are several more up the drive of the same variety planted in the alpine garden area (pic below). Not sure how these buggers will do considering it can get quite dry up there and they are struggling by the looks of the browning leaves. Hey the tag says "water wise." I'm assuming it does okay during dry conditions?


Oh look here, another new garden. This is directly north of the cabin. Some more repeat lilies.


Along the driveway in the newer rail road tie gardens. I have not been satisfied with this camera of late. Pictures aren't as sharp as they have been. I probably messed with a setting?
