daylilies

Orange trumpet flowers

Daylilies is the plural of daylily, a flowering plant with trumpet-shaped blooms that each last only a single day.

Despite the name, daylilies aren't true lilies—they belong to a different genus.

The plants are hardy perennials popular in gardens because they tolerate poor soil and neglect: The daylilies along the fence come back every summer without any care.
