daylily

While the daylily bloom is shortlived, the plants are hardy.  This flower is a progeny of roots transplanted at least 4 times the last 20 years in various moves.  The original daylilies grew under my bedroom window at the house in New Deal.  Before the house was razed in the 80s, I raided the beds and saved some daylily roots.  Half a century later, they are still blooming.
