Daylily

Daylily is the general nonscientific name of a species, hybrid or cultivar of the genus Hemerocallis ( /ˌhɛmɨroʊˈkælɪs/). Daylily cultivar flowers are highly diverse in colour and form, as a result of hybridization efforts of gardening enthusiasts and professional horticulturalists. Thousands of registered cultivars are appreciated and studied by local and international Hemerocallis societies. Hemerocallis is now placed in family Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, and formerly was part of Liliaceae (which includes true lilies).
