Hybrid daylily
These fancy daylilies are really something. The colors, the ruffles, the extra petals. The hybridizers have been busy! This was in a friend’s garden and I wish I had some. They do OK in part shade, you know.
Sometimes when I am taking a photo of a flower whose petals are in direct sun, the background blacks out and I get this exciting chiaroscuro effect, straight off the memory card. Isn’t it something?

Wow–the color and the detail in this image of a day lily are breathtaking. You’ve captured the essence of that flower. I bet your garden is a delight.
Hi Sara, awesome photo and your friend’s daylily is pretty spectacular. Hope your friend will give you some 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
I do love Day Lilies and your delightful hybrid one is amazing ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
Hi Sara,
Wow–beautiful photo! Makes me want to figure out my macro lens again…
Wanted to thank you for the tip–I don’t actually like Photoshopping photos (other than a crop) because I like to see/show what I saw, but after I read your comment, I thought, umm, maybe I was holding the camera a bit tippy that day because, really, the water should be straight, shouldn’t it? So I adjusted it as you suggested. Had to crop again, of course, but it does look better now, so thank you! (Still like my fisherman in the middle though.)

PS: put up a couple of Belgium photos to thank you.
