These flowers are the essence of summer to me.

Orange tiger lilies.

1. Beautiful.

Mom called them "ditch lillies" which is found a little derogatory but now I know why

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Ditch or not, I've always thought they were beautiful. You knew it was mid summer when they appeared.

3. In our area they call them day lilies.

That's how long they last in our summer heat. They are very pretty and we have a few are in my back yard, right now.

5. I've heard day lilies, too

My Grandmother always called them Tiger Lilies.

4. Lots of those blooming around here all of a sudden with the heat and rain I guess

[Diamond_Dog]

6. And they just grow wild. Only the orange ones for some reason.

7. I wasn't really aware that they grow wild, although I see them on the side of the road a lot

8. What beautiful flowers, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Sophie looks great too!

We have them out here, but not in that color. Ours are either white or yellow. And we call them day lillies, since they're gone in a day.

[Diamond_Dog]

12. We have them in almost every color, too, but only the orange ones grow wild.

I love them in all colors. My Grandmother called the wild orange ones “tiger lilies”.
