This daylily is one of my favorites. It has such striking line design down the middle of each petal and the colors are so strong. I bought this at the Arboretum that is north of us about 10 miles by the way a c row flies. It is a crooked road to get there because of the Des Moines river. A bird could fly there in an instant but to drive there requires many turns back and forth going north to get to a main highway in which again we turn off of and we come back south again. That also is a crooked road with lots of turns as you wander down. Normally one pays to visit the place but on Saturdays with there are plant sales you can visit for free. I bought this one a day when they were having their daylily sales. I think they also have a hosta sale on one weekend.
Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Pretty bloom. Pretty color.

Really it is a pretty flower.
I have never seen one that colour... it's beautiful.
Wow! Excellent capture and great detail on the flower to watch... seems like a tough road to drive past lots of winding to get this variety.
