That’s a beautiful day-lily you spotted on your hike! Even if you’re not familiar with flowers, it’s great to appreciate their beauty in nature.

Hemecrocallis fulva, the common Daylily. This is an invasive species in Ontario Canada and many places in the USA , they are from Asia , it is pretty but not good plants because they are overgrown in the wild and eliminate many natives and cause them to become extinct, their roots store nutrition and spread by rhizomes, so even the top part gone but a tiny piece of root can start growing into another plants, they grow vigorously and they can grow in any places, sunny, dry , wet or boggy, shade or open field, this is why they are everywhere.

this is the very common day lily often seen on banks or roadsides. day lilies have been subject to extensive hybridization for many years. hundreds of varieties make them a favorite perennial for sunny gardens. I have a very dark red, a cantaloupe shade and a yellow planted in one large bed..outstanding!
